I created something for my class that I'd like to share with other Spanish students and their teachers - but it can be easily adapted to any language or class. But the name is catchy in Spanish. It's called "Grati-tubre". #spanishteachers #langchat

Ss in class constantly on phones. Teachers trying to compete with TikTok, expected to perform miracles. Everyone’s going to college. If they fail, we get a training about how anxious and traumatized Ss are. So we pass them -otherwise we aren’t caring enough. #socialpromotion 4/4

We spent 2.5 hours on lockdown and had the rest of the school day cancelled for these clowns. Priorities have changed. We don’t get to educate anymore. We are just one big messed up playground. #saveourschools 3/4

So, this is why Ss came to school? To play assassin games? What happened to Saturdays and after school? What about finals and final projects? Did any of them have their backpacks with their class work? Or just their cell phones and their fake guns ? 1/2 #stateofeducation

So… a group of students played the ‘senior assassin game’ at our school today- just two months after one of their fellow students was killed on campus after being stabbed.#collegeandcareerready 1/1

Tragedy on campus. I’ve been given a script to read to students Monday morning. But I would love suggestions and advice from teachers who have been there. What to do beyond Monday? How do I get through the rest of this year with them? Students don’t feel safe. #langchat

Searching for info on Twitter about my school's lockdown. I have heard a lot of chaos and commotion, but no gunshots. The chatter is that 2 students got stabbed in an art classroom. Stay safe, everyone. #lockdown

I am in lockdown. That is what is happening.

"The secretary further highlighted the department’s efforts to promote bilingual and dual-language education, promoting multilingual students as an unrealized asset for international competitiveness."

Not a bad place to have lunch 🤩

My dad played HS football against John Madden & went to Cal Poly w/him, where they played pick up basketball. Years later my dad took my bro to see the Raiders practice in Santa Rosa. My bro didn’t believe my dad’s story, but then JM recognized my dad and went to say hi. #class

Just read about the new FB name change. I am actually tickled because Meta was my great aunt's name and I never knew anyone else with that name. Full disclosure-I have never had a FB account. Knew from the beginning it would be trouble (i.e. get me into trouble).

Late career I made a big change … it was a painful process … but it’s gotten me to a better place , truly ❤️ This is my new WL team. If you recently took a big leap of faith and it’s not working out as you imagined, take another leap ! #langchat

Celebration of Life today for my beautiful mother. I spent so much time with her during CoVid, kept her safe and in my bubble, got her and my dad vaccinated early and then tragedy struck. I love you mom and miss you. Thanks for loving me♥️

Raise a glass tonight at 9:21pm. It will be the 21st minute of the 21st hour of the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century...

These are the cultural products, practices and perspectives being shown to the world right now. Frightening. #langchat
