"You are being musically mean to me and it's hurting my feelings so I am going to call the police department that we are supposed to be supporting to report a feels violation."
High school teacher rule number 6: good calls home. Also, anytime you see or meet a parent, go crazy about how awesome their kid is and how amazing they are in class, how much you love them REGARDLESS of anything that might have happened in class. Your relationship w/ that kid will be solid forever.
At Maya Angelou Community High, teachers and volunteers worked together to protect students on the first day back. History teacher Ron Gochez: "I see them that they could be like my little brothers. They can be like my son or my daughter."

Number 6 high school rule: use a seating chart and rearrange to make sure students are next to people they feel comfortable around but also can be successful around. Where students sit can make or break a class. And have your seating chart on day 1. Move as needed after. #edusky #backtoschool
"If asylum-seekers miss a court hearing...judges can, and do, dismiss their entire case and order them removed from the country. That puts asylum-seekers in...a tough situation: missing court puts them at risk of deportation. But showing up could, too."
The situation at the immigration detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz” has gotten so bad that detainees have been on a hunger strike for over ten straight days.

“If we want schools to be places of belonging, growth, and healing, we must begin by examining the narratives we’ve accepted about student motivation … Emotional overload is not a student flaw, it’s a human experience, one that can be addressed when adults are equipped to recognize and respond to it.” —Clementina Jose, Social Work Supervisor
Sometimes, students may appear disengaged—not because they don’t care, but because they’re functioning beyond their emotional limits.

Number 5 high school teacher rule: beginning of school edition: The biggest lie you are told is be mean in the beginning. The number one thing kids are wondering and nervous about is if you are nice or not. Be the nice one and also have high expectations. Both can happen simultaneously.
Creating a “Take What You Need” cabinet for my students with things like deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hair supplies, socks, pads, soap, lotion, nail supplies etc. #edusky
I always wanted the frames that you can store work/art in and hang in the classroom but they are very expensive. These were really inexpensive!
BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.
New magnetic frames for my student showcase! Used magnetic tape to add them to the whiteboard. #edusky #classroomdecor

The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.
Something has gone terribly wrong.
Overheard: I’m surprised the nickname “Pedofuhrer” hasn’t caught on yet.
LOL
Impeach Trump now
Number 4 high school teacher rule: students won’t remember your fancy lesson plans. That isn’t to say that those aren’t awesome and that students won’t learn from them. They will learn, they just won’t remember. What they will remember is if you liked them, & will learn more if they think so #edusky
It’s blowing my mind how many educators are still on X #edusky
Number three high school teacher rule: understand the adolescent brain. Don’t know about it? Read up. They may be taller than you, but they are children. It’s not about you. Don’t come at other people’s children like they are adults. Seen it too many times. #edusky #teacherrules
Number two high school teacher rule: tone of voice. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it and what place it is coming from #edusky #teacherrules
Number one high school teacher rule: never yell. Sorry, but it’s true. Your number one tool in the classroom and in just being a human is respect. #edusky #highshoolteacher
Consider equitable grading practices if you are interested in students engaged with learning. Consider equitable grading to shift the focus from product to process. Consider equitable grading if you are worried about students abusing AI to produce product as opposed to learning. #edusky #equity
