Why do schools care more for money-making test factories that worship profit than for the children in their care who want to learn?

A good admin trusts & supports tchrs, is updated, doesn't play favorites, attends plays & concerts as well as games, & laughs a lot. #edchat

If you don't want your child exposed to real literature, please stick to the sanitized kiddie storybooks. DON'T cut up a real book.

Parents, if you censor out the "scary" parts of the book, how will YOUR kid learn that scary things can be overcome? #edchat

Sometimes I find a really interesting website, & I want to tell people, but it's not "pinnable" so I click off, never go back, & never tell.

Promoted tweets are distracting and annoying.

How about "teachers" who not only refuse to be learners themselves, but also FORBID any tech in their students' hands? #edchat

Tech is not something to learn some day. Some day is today, and it's already well past time to start. #edchat

There is plenty of room for both old-fashioned pedagogy AND tech, as long as the teacher knows and uses both when appropriate. #edchat

RT @tgrant14: @Mamacita #edchat I agree. One thing that keeps teaching fun is trying new things whether it involves tech or not <- YES!

It's even more disgraceful when admin is clueless about tech. Yes, disgraceful. Not backing down. There ARE no viable excuses. #edchat

Winter storm warning - it's coming, students. A big one. Use your discretion about coming to class. Midterms can be done any time.

I honestly don't understand why so many "educators" are scared to jump right in & teach themselves tech. #edchat Or even just ASK somebody.

It's no joke that in Indiana, the four seasons are: almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction.

The house smells like apple pie. That's because there's an apple pie in the oven. A Granny Smith apple pie. For my husband.

Hey students: PolyHYMNia. Remember? Muse of sacred poetry. And now you know where the word "hymn" came from.

There are, of course, times when the passive voice is perfect, but most of the time, it's better to use the active voice. #edchat

So, you don't think we have social divisions here? It's the grammar, my friends. We expect/REQUIRE good grammar from certain levels. #edchat

Most of my students didn't know that Chevrolet, Ford, & Buick were people before they were cars. Now, they know. Live & learn. #edchat

The word was "skimp." Students had never heard of it. Students have heard of it now, by golly. SKIMP. Cut back & save.

Students: Did I mention that although all midterm exams cover the same topics, no two tests will be exactly alike? Copy at your own risk.

Don't forget to watch @EllenDegeneres today - @SteveSpangler is on! The show's always good but when Steve's there, it's GREAT!

Students, midterms are next week. Spring Break is the week after. Think of your midterms as the gateway to Paradise.
