Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.
Meanwhile Emily Brönte just said “We can make each other worse.”
Mary Shelley said, "I can make him
Strong “Am I stupid? No, it’s everybody else who’s ever spoken to or about me who is stupid” vibes
An important reminder from @halfwaypost
Adults create the world that kids have to live in.
Adults give kids the script for how they deal with their anger and other emotions.
Our whole society must question our responsibility in gun violence against children.
I don’t teach any more. For real now that school has started. When my former coworkers were getting their classrooms ready, I felt a little bit sad. But then my friend reached out with a parent horror story about masks and CRT that happened on the first day. And nope. So glad I’m not teaching anymore! I have way less anxiety, more energy, and more time for my kids. Plus I’m LOVING my seminary classes.
So I don’t what kind of blog this will be anymore. Probably just random grad school adventures for now.
Once a teacher, always a teacher… my classmates have been posting technology questions on the class help page, and I’ve been fielding them all. Feels like i’m still emptying the printer queue and troubleshooting the math building’s Schoology issues. 😅
In my class study session, I had to explain to the TA how to do Kahoot! over Zoom. He said to me: “I know your type; my mom was a teacher too.” 🤷🏼♀️
Raise your hand if you recently quit, retired early, or are actively trying everything to be able to quit before the start of the school year! https://www.instagram.com/p/CSPm3N9rqYJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

As I was watching, I thought ‘that’s how I feel about shiraz.’ Then the end came.
Abolish teacher appreciation.
I would feel more appreciated 365 days a year if the parents in the community supported COL adjustments that actually allowed us to live on one income and stopped screaming about us at board meetings.
The generic emails the PTA puts you up to sending ring false.

that is some good advice
A summary of when I taught European History.
A year ago I was still holding out hope that my June trip to the UK would not be cancelled. Since then I’ve cried a few (actually, a lot) of tears about this lost dream trip. I haven’t even allowed myself to start thinking about planning the whole thing again because it was just too devestating.
But now, both my husband and I are vaccinated, and I’ve not renewed my teaching contract. So when do we rebook?? Our calendar is wide open now, and for the first time in a long time, I’m feeling hopeful!
Shout Out
To all of the partners of teachers, especially my husband, who have stood by during this horrible, no-good, very bad school year. My husband has encouraged me when I needed perseverance, sympathized when I needed to vent, and has ultimately made it possible for me to quit, which I did on Thursday last week. After a decade in the classroom, in June I am moving on to a new adventure.
