To all my teacher friends, read this thread, to remind yourself why we do what we do and the impact we can have.

For the love of equity & fairness please STOP talk of learning loss and how kids are behind. It is the height of privilege and entitlement. #education is not a race or a train schedule. The world is in a pandemic Meet kids where they are. The extra pressure is inhumane & cruel

Unsolicited advice for today. Be kind. Teachers, be kind to yourself and your students. Students, be kind to yourself and your classmates. Parents, be kind to your kids and their teachers. Nobody wants to be online, nobody is prepared and everyone is going to do their best.

To all the amazing women educators that I work alongside, Happy International Women’s Day.

This was a special day for an amazing kid. Proud of everyone who showed their Stampeder Spirit with this one of a kind send off. The halls will not be the same next year without Jackson.
