This school year has overall SUCKED. Like back to my first years teaching type of suck. But the end of year thank you notes and grad party invites are making me feel a little better about the job I did for my students.

Ok teachers, I’m coming to you with an ask…what do you do for a student who relies on AI for even 1 sentence response? Cries when all tech is shut off and has to do the work? I’ve had conversations, 1:1 tutoring, no IEP or 504. Student is a senior.

I LOVE being a coach. These are the moments we live for, like winning rivalry week in our first year flag football program! I can’t wait to see these girls and this sport grow in Texas!

Was supposed to keynote this morning at a state reading conference but was canceled because it appears advocating for teacher autonomy is too controversial. Here’s the presentation furman.box.com/s/to2r5p6xkr...

I say pretty regularly that it worries me that so many of our young teachers grew up under NCLB legislation and have thus very little ability to imagine curricula that is actually, genuinely responsive to the students they teach.

Forgive the click-bait title, but I had to wade into the "Kids can't read" & "Give them books!" discourse. While I 100% agree we should advocate for teaching long-form texts, it's easy to forget that teaching literature well is HARD. #literacies #academicsky trevoraleo.substack.com/p/books-cann...

If students use AI because they don’t care, that’s one thing. I can have a conversation about that. If they use it and expect me to think that’s their own work, that really pisses me off.

What does public education look like under this new (and emboldened in Texas) administration and can I remain a part of it? Question I am asking myself by the minute these days.

I am really sad today because I allowed someone else to make me feel small. To feel as if I’m the one who said something wrong. That disappoints me in me a lot.

Do they also not realize that by setting aside $10k per student that they are admitting to grossly underfunding schools for years?

Do the people voting for “education savings accounts” aka school vouchers even care that this will wipe out the Teacher Retirement System for Texas teachers? There won’t be any money to pay people who are already retired, and those of us still working will never see a check.

How are people working? Learning? I’m about to drop the Lit course I started “for fun” this semester because I don’t have the energy.

Yikes. Should I go off about how scripted curriculum harms students and also how we’re lacking teachers who don’t need a script?

Taking a grad-level literature course and doing the same work I give my AP Lit class (high school seniors) is both validating and frustrating.

As a swim coach, I really am frustrated at societal, religious, and even ill-informed cultural norms that say girls can’t swim/do sport on their menstrual cycles. And that tampons take virginity. It’s just really limiting so many female athletes’ potential.
