I have my 5th graders create a class newspaper. They interview one person in the class, I provide questions as a guideline and we work on 5Ws and quotes, etc. They can design their layout and add art, it’s a good use of time and they enjoy it bc they feel they are just talking to their friend. I typically don’t add this to their grade but they don’t know and it gives me a little keepsake of my class each year...

Hi 👋🏻 I have five years work experience, 2 are in consulting at EY London and I really want to move to the UAE (I speak Arabic fluently) would appreciate it if anyone can send a referral (happy to give you free Arabic lessons 😂)

I use to enjoy pulling together lessons using a variety of resources, and not using textbooks or ready made curriculum. I just used the standards. These days, I’m finding that my online students find a set curriculum easier to navigate. I’m finding it easier to keep organized online. Anyone else having a similar experience?

At my school there are buttons being passed out that say, “She/her, he/him they/them.” I have no problem with anyone wearing these buttons but I don’t like feeling pressure to wear one myself. No one is telling me to wear one but people talk about how inclusive it is to wear one and most staff do. I really don’t think I’m being transphobic by not wearing one but I just don’t want to wear one. What is your opinion on this?

This was recently posted in a thread I was commenting on. “It frustrates me to read people’s messages from states with very few cases to act like the virus is nothing to those of us whose states have a 100k.” Syntax aside, the meaning is clear—if you are from a small state, you should zip it.

I am from a small state. Our case count will never break us out of the bottom quartile (probably never get above the bottom 5.) Does that mean I am not allowed to have an opinion?
