It would be really, really awful if people abused the Department of Education’s new snitch portal and filled it with so much spam that they couldn’t possibly sort through all the claims. enddei.ed.gov

And, so it begins… Have fun!!

When I was a classroom teacher, one of the things I often said to students was “Use your resources!” Turns out I’m saying the same thing to the adults in education. 👏 Maximize. 👏 Your. 👏 Resources. 👏 Time, money, people! #eduSky

Having to rely for survival on someone we don't understand, don't trust, & who intermittently or regularly frightens us is a complex traumatic stressor that many survivors experienced in childhood-- & we unconsciously, unintentionally replicated in our adult relationships.

This is BS and teachers are regularly required to submit far more detailed plans.

Book 6 of 2025 📚 I found I was able to not read for a day or two and then pick this read up again and it held my interest. ⭐️⭐️⭐️+ #ValReads #bookSky

One of the biggest realizations I’ve had being recognized at this amazing conference is how deeply ingrained #ImposterSyndrome can be. I have a lot of learning, unlearning, and self-reflection to do. I don’t know where to start. Tips, article/book suggestions welcome. #eduSky #BookSky

An absolute honor to be awarded the 2025 Outstanding Educator of the Year by the Midwest Symposium for Leadership in Behavior Disorders by this amazing human. I started attending the #MSLBD conference in KC 19 years ago. It is my favorite. It is my people. It is home. 🫶🏻 #RethinkingBehavior

That tracks.

There’s an awful lot of gender stereotyping of children in our society, including in our schools. Just an observation, but we really need to stop it. It is damaging. #EduSkyPrimary

I was a Sociology major in college and today I would not be able to take the same courses I did 25 years ago (25!). We’re going so far backwards; it’s embarrassing. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I need to go through the followers list and take off some of these spammy accounts. What the what.

Another former student arrested. It sure feels at times like the work that I did/do makes no difference. 🙁

It’s wild how many actors make reappearances as different characters across seasons on Law & Order SVU. Surely detectives, you remember this guy from 4 years ago. Dun dun.

First it will be 504. Then ADA and IDEA. This has direct contact info to state AGs. Missouri is one of 16 states suing to end 504.

The change in the way the mail app appears is why I don’t update my iPhone. 🙄

I broke the rules today. But I’m finding rule-following is getting me into more trouble than rule-breaking. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The team needs a name change. It is 2025.

Will there be any political statements made by players at the #SuperBowl today?

I often hear colleagues describe kids who “go from 0 to 100.” They don’t, because some kids are never at “0.” They have a smaller window of tolerance. I’m never at 0. My brain is just not wired that way. #eduSky

Really doesn’t get any more “spot on” than this…

Last week the county in which I live had the most flu cases EVER recorded. Wash your hands and cover your coughs and sneezes the email from the district said. 🤨 #MaskUp

“You got to find what it means for you to be a soldier, beat back those that are trying to kill everything good and right in the world and calling it making it great again.” 1/2

If you are white, use your privilege. Make noise!! This is a good example of a small action that can make a difference.

My anxiety is ridiculously high.

I thank the sick adults who choose to #mask when they confirm they have SARS/flu. And, you’ve already been contagious. Prevention is better. Missouri rates of flu, norovirus, and SARS is high. No flu tests available locally. And…who knows what’s up with TB already in our neighboring states. 🤨

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

I like Tim Walz. I miss Tim Walz.
