Do you also sometimes feel that teaching feels like walking against the wind?

The school year just started, but it already feels like itโs been going on forever. So, dear teachersโฆ exactly how many days are left until break?
#EduSky
Teachers are not lab rats to be experimented on. Do you agree?

Whatโs the single best idea to make literacy work better at your school? Iโm gathering ideas for our grant application to the EIR program.

Four words you need to know about explaining: โExplaining does not work.โ Didnโt catch it? You know why? Because explaining doesnโt work.

Iโve found collaborators in Europe, Africa, and even Japan. But Iโm stuck with the USโno professor there seems willing to accept money or help from me.

โI developed an eye twitch from the stressโโthatโs not a rare story in education.
#EduSky
Some of the worst teacher stress comes from... other teachers.

Teachers whisper their struggles in break rooms because speaking up can cost them their job.
#EduSky
Teachers teach through fear: fear of lawsuits, fear of retaliation, fear of admin.

Teachers are drowningโbut expected to smile and say, โIโm fine.โ
#EduSky
Teachers are told to differentiate for every studentโbut given no time to breathe.
#EduSky
Behind the smile of a teacher is a twitch, a panic attack, or a tear no one sees.
#EduSky
If a teacher says, โI donโt feel safe in my classroom,โ believe them. Then ask what you can do to help.
#EduSky
We donโt need perfect kids or perfect teachers. We need partnerships based on respect, honesty, and shared goals.
#EduSky
The best teacher is the one whose name children don't even remember, because the teacher allows them to communicate with each other rather than just with the teacher.
#EduSky
Letโs stop making teachers choose between doing whatโs right for the class and keeping their job. Theyโre stuck in a no-win situation.
#EduSky
Some parents want AI to teach their kids, while others are afraid of AI in schools. The fact is, we still use faxes in schools. No rush.
#EduSky
The teachers who stay arenโt staying because it's easy. They're staying because they care. But they shouldnโt have to sacrifice their mental health to do it.
#EduSky
One supportive email to your child's teacher can turn their entire week around. Try it. Theyโll never forget it.
#EduSky
The fact that teachers are going viral for talking about their trauma should be a national emergency, not a trending topic.
#EduSky
Schools are not broken because of teachers. Schools are breaking teachers.
#EduSky
Teachers are not superheroes. They are people who are breaking under the pressure of doing everything for everyone.
#EduSky
Teaching is the only profession where you're blamed for how others behaveโand also not allowed to enforce consequences.
#EduSky
Teachers: "I assigned that 2 weeks ago." Student: "You never told us!" Parent: "How dare you surprise my child with a deadline!" And scene.
