Student: *Says name*
Teacher: “It’s hard for me to say that. How about I give you a nickname?”
No. Ask your students how to pronounce their name correctly, practice it as much as you need to, then say it correctly.

If no employer gives a standardized test to measure the effectiveness of employees, then why in the world do we think kids need to take a standardized test to show their learning? 🤔 – at Beech Grove, IN

It’s not words that show teachers they’re appreciated. It’s respect, value, giving them a voice/ input, treating them professionally, & giving them the support they need to be successful. Help maximize their talents and strengths. Increasing their value is Appreciation.

On the House floor, my colleague @CoriBush and I both called out the white supremacy at the root of the attack on our democracy. She was booed. I was not. The difference is skin color.

Teachers don’t even get reimbursed for pencils.
Just on @MSNBC: During a briefing on security threats, House Democrats were reminded that the purchase of a bulletproof vest is a "reimbursable expense."

By the end of 2019, the avg American was in debt:
•$202,284 with mortgages
•$31,172 with student loans
•$19,231 with auto loans
•$6,194 with credit cards
Just an idea 🤔
Get rid of standardized testing which takes up more than 18 days a year and TEACH financial literacy.

It is abundantly clear that these terrorists don't want to "save America" for its democracy - they only want to save the white privilege part.

Teachers: what are y’all going to do tomorrow? What discussions will you be having? We don’t need a “business as usual” approach. How will you use your classroom space to address what has happened and hear what students have to share?

This is why we must build a strong relationship with all students, especially our students that have experienced trauma! 🙌

"I wish I had known
that exhaustion is not a badge of honor,
and I need energy for my students.
...
I wish I had known
the words of Audre Lorde:
Caring for ourselves is not self-indulgence,
it is self-preservation
and that is an act of political warfare."

Representation affects everyone.
@KamalaHarris being the VP matters to young girls and girls of color, but it is also important for white children to see a woman of color in that office. It will make a difference.
