I don’t care about Taylor cosplaying as an English teacher. It’s the best job in the world! What I do care about is the silence of multi-millionaires & billionaires as actual teachers consider how to pay for groceries while praying we’re not gunned down at work or arrested for teaching books.

They’re depoliticizing women’s subjugation. Every “day in the life” video of a 20-year-old laying out her husband’s socks, and every magazine spread of a stay-at-home mom with five kids in matching beige outfits, take women’s subservience and make it…cutesy. jessica.substack.com/p/princess-t...

The “for the entire lesson” part is the most frustrating to me. I have three preps. It would take my entire whiteboard up to have all of that posted! On the first slide should be good enough since we all know students never look at it.

I’m so excited to sit in a room full of adults and be talked at for days, absorbing content will be neither differentiated nor will the delivery be best practice, in hopes that it’ll inspire and prepare me to be the teacher my students need and deserve 🙃

I maintain that while high school is meant in part to help prepare kids for the world in general, we are not doing job training. It's my job to get kids to think critically, not teach some janky-ass computer program that requires no skillset.

You know where lonely kids used to find solace and comfort in order to learn about themselves and the world? Books. AI “friendships” are yet another symptom of an absence of books in our schools. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/20/m...

I teach @lenakt.bsky.social’s “Running Orders” and it’s important to contextualize the poem: it wasn’t written in 2023; it was published in 2017, so the experience is deeply rooted in a LONG history of displacement and violence. It’s not new; students MUST know this. #PoemADayJuly

Poems about ongoing, current, unimaginable pain like this are hard to talk about. What a stunning poem, running down the page in anger and grief, not fear. The word choices at the ends of lines work to convey the situation—“closed,” “worthless,” “sentence,” “narrow,” “house,” “place,” “nowhere.”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The title reminds me of something our school counselor once told students during Covid - “you’re not your anxiety/depression/etc., you’re experiencing anxiety/depression.” We aren’t named sorrow just because we experience it. We can choose who we are and want to be.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

Jonathan Haidt claiming that the SAT's move to short passages is because of a screen-addled generation rather than a decades-long systemic disinvestment from robust literacy instruction in favor of "skills" by the College Board is the most self-serving thing I've seen in a minute.
Jonathan Haidt
@JonHaidt

As young people find it increasingly difficult to read a page of text, the SAT and ACT are adapting by removing the need to read any long passages.  Or write any shot essays.

We are undergoing "human change."
