Teachers—how long are we going to relax? When’s the first day back at school? #EduSky

A school’s definition of insanity: “Test scores didn’t improve, so this year we’re rolling out the exact same program… but with a new logo, a new acronym, and a mandatory PD called ‘Bold Change 2.0.’” #EduSky

Teacher friends, for years every new “innovation” has only made us more overloaded and unhappy — less time, more bureaucracy. But this time it’s different. I’m developing an app that simplifies lesson prep. Could you please give it a like on the hackathon page? devpost.com/software/slo... #EduSky

Slonig - free tutoring at schools

Studying at school is boring and useless — every time you ask a teacher a question, they have no time to answer. Asking your friend is an option, but they’re bad at teaching. Slonig makes them good.

Do you also sometimes feel that teaching feels like walking against the wind? #EduSky

The school year just started, but it already feels like it’s been going on forever. So, dear teachers… exactly how many days are left until break? #EduSky

Teachers are not lab rats to be experimented on. Do you agree? #EduSky

Four words you need to know about explaining: “Explaining does not work.” Didn’t catch it? You know why? Because explaining doesn’t work. #EduSky

#EduSky, If I gave a professor $400K, they wouldn’t accept it. Why? Because they don’t know me. So far, I’ve written 12 grant applications requesting over $10 million to change how the school system is organized.

Schools are breaking teachers. I’m fighting for them. Please help me reach the professors who taught you in university—we need to change how pedagogy is taught. Like, repost, and share. Let’s fix the system together! #EduSky

“I developed an eye twitch from the stress”—that’s not a rare story in education. #EduSky

Some of the worst teacher stress comes from... other teachers.

Some teachers quietly record conversations. Not because they want to—but because it's their only protection. #EduSky

Teachers whisper their struggles in break rooms because speaking up can cost them their job. #EduSky

Teachers teach through fear: fear of lawsuits, fear of retaliation, fear of admin.

Every year, more is asked of teachers—while giving less to support them.

Teachers are expected to perform miracles, with no time, no support, and no safety net. I’m going to fix it with Slonig. #EduSky

Teachers are drowning—but expected to smile and say, “I’m fine.” #EduSky

Teachers are told to differentiate for every student—but given no time to breathe. #EduSky

Behind the smile of a teacher is a twitch, a panic attack, or a tear no one sees. #EduSky

If a teacher says, “I don’t feel safe in my classroom,” believe them. Then ask what you can do to help. #EduSky

We don’t need perfect kids or perfect teachers. We need partnerships based on respect, honesty, and shared goals. #EduSky

The best teacher is the one whose name children don't even remember, because the teacher allows them to communicate with each other rather than just with the teacher. #EduSky

Let’s stop making teachers choose between doing what’s right for the class and keeping their job. They’re stuck in a no-win situation. #EduSky

Some parents want AI to teach their kids, while others are afraid of AI in schools. The fact is, we still use faxes in schools. No rush. #EduSky

The teachers who stay aren’t staying because it's easy. They're staying because they care. But they shouldn’t have to sacrifice their mental health to do it. #EduSky

One supportive email to your child's teacher can turn their entire week around. Try it. They’ll never forget it. #EduSky

The fact that teachers are going viral for talking about their trauma should be a national emergency, not a trending topic. #EduSky

Schools are not broken because of teachers. Schools are breaking teachers. #EduSky

Teachers are not superheroes. They are people who are breaking under the pressure of doing everything for everyone. #EduSky

Teaching is the only profession where you're blamed for how others behave—and also not allowed to enforce consequences. #EduSky

Teachers: "I assigned that 2 weeks ago." Student: "You never told us!" Parent: "How dare you surprise my child with a deadline!" And scene. #EduSky

When teachers say “things are worse,” it’s not nostalgia. It’s lived experience. And they’re trying to warn us. #EduSky

When a teacher shares that they're struggling, please don't say, "You knew what you were signing up for." The job has changed drastically. I want to make it less exhausting. I'm looking for a teacher or a partner school in Europe to apply for a $3M grant. Please contact me. #EduSky

Why do students forget? Maybe they just don’t care. However, there’s a hack to help them remember: they should create the problems they’re going to solve themselves. This builds a kind of superego within them that protects ideas from being forgotten. #EduSky

Respecting teachers doesn't mean demonizing kids or parents. It means acknowledging that we all have a role in building healthy classroom culture. #EduSky

Why does everybody give advice to teachers? Why not try giving advice to dentists or airplane pilots while sitting in economy class? Teaching is unique. What makes it even more unique is that we get paid even when we can’t guarantee results. Half the country can barely read. #EduSky

Teachers didn’t quit because of money. They quit because their classroom started feeling like a WWE ring without rules. #EduSky

No, “kids have always been like this” isn’t a valid excuse. The classroom climate has changed—and pretending otherwise helps no one. #EduSky
