A comic about the spectrum of responses to stress - we talk alot about the more extreme ends of this and trauma, but the more subtle and every day responses can be harder to spot. if we can understand our own and other’s responses better, problems Are easier to confront and blaming is less likely to happen :) hope it’s helpful!!

I don’t think this is an attack on teachers. It’s just how it works in schools that are underfunded with teachers who are overtaxed. You spend so much time just on basic discipline (in part because parents don’t train their kids on how to behave) that there’s little time for actual education.

This is very true. I've been lucky enough to teach in a Title I theme school that has minimal behavior problems, most likely because students only gain admission based on lottery. But every now and again I do have severe behavior problem. The admin isn't always supportive and neither are the parents. I've had days when a child is literally tearing up my room and I've had to deal with it all day long because the parents aren't picking up the phone because they're tired of me calling. That distracts from teaching. The rest of the kids suffer because I'm just trying to keep them safe. Most of the time my kids are well-trained coming from home and I can get them acclimated to the way I manage my learning environment. Thats when they thrive. We're always able to get most of the students above grade level before they make to the next grade. But that's partly because behavior is under control. Depends on the school.

For me its been "Go on mute." Teaching Kindergarten virtually has been a journey.

🏳️‍🌈 Ruth Ellis (1899 - 2000) was the daughter of former slaves. She came out as a lesbian when she was 16-years-old to the complete acceptance of her family. In 1937, Ruth and her longtime partner moved to Detroit from their hometown of Springfield, Illinois for the promise of higher wages. There, she became the first woman in Michigan to run her own printing business. She printed fliers, posters, and stationary in the front room of her home, which also quickly became a hotspot for Black LGBTQ social life. Before long, Ruth was helping those who came around in any way she could, including by paying for college tuitions. After the Stonewall uprising, 70-year-old Ruth began giving speeches in support of gay and lesbian rights all across the country. She remained an activist for the rest of her long life and even spent her 100th birthday leading the San Francisco Dyke March. At the time of her death at 101, she was recognized as the oldest out lesbian in the US. She is the subject of the documentary "Living With Pride: Ruth C. Ellis @ 100" and is the namesake of the Ruth Ellis Center, a shelter for homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth in Detroit.

Celebrate Ruth Ellis.
