1)Sometimes I worry, if there is such a place, and the ed fundamentalists have their way, I am probably going to Teacher Hell.

2)And while my sins have added up over the years (especially lately), they’ve always been from a place of good intentions.
And I had those same good intentions in mind yesterday as I sat down to begin brokering a deal with the devil between two of my students and me.

3)But something had to give–even if it means eternal damnation.
They aren’t doing the work. They haven’t done the work (likely for years). They won’t do the work. Oh, they’re pleasant enough about it, but they’re only pushing the work around their plates,

1) I am of the firm belief that we do not need to stress kids out with our policies. Our policies. As teachers we decide what’s possible and what’s impossible. So, whenever I can, I choose possible. And though I know some would argue that I am not preparing

2) kids for the “real world,” I am not inclined to subscribe to that line of thinking. In fact, it has been my experience that most deadlines, including tax deadlines, can be negotiated, can be extended. Teachers negotiate their evaluation/observation deadlines with principals
3) all the time. In fact, some who wield the “real-world” stick for teaching kids responsibility are among some of the worst when it comes to asking for leniency from their supervisors. Real world, indeed. It has also been my experience that those with the harshest

You can even print the manuscript to show your research proof. You know how many times we have to back up what we say! Proof is necessary these days.

Long Thread🤷♂️1) There is no one way in education. Of that, I am certain. For 23 years I have been looking for it, but in my search, all that I have found is a way, which becomes my way, until I find a better way, which then steps aside for the next way. There is no WAY.
2) Today, we see more ways than ever because of the work we share, ranging from the conventional to the crazy. And platforms like Twitter have revealed this in ways unthought of when I began my career in the fall of ‘96. Then, “ways” were found in books and PD pushed and
3) proffered by those with generally little time in the actual classroom, and we generally (sometimes reluctantly) settled for that because our options and worlds were small, and we had not the communities we do today. The eduTwitterverse and other ed communities did not exist.
Meg fell asleep in class yesterday. I let her. I didn't take it personally. She has zero-hour math, farm-girl chores, state-qualifying 4X400 fatigue, adolescent angst, and various other things to deal with. My class is only a part of her life, not her life. No, she did not use
her time wisely in class yesterday. She didn't get her essay turned in. She knew that. I knew that, but I didn't beat her up about it. Didn't have to. She emailed it to me last night at 9:00 PM. On her own. I know we all somewhat subscribe to this notion that there's a right way
of doing things, and letting kids sleep in class falls outside the boundaries. I get it, and I'm not suggesting that we make it a permanent part of repertoire /routine, but I am suggesting that we sometimes trust our instincts, even if it goes against the grain, maybe especially
