my favorite part of the last day of school before winter break is walking into the wawa and seeing three other teachers in their holiday pajamas and a “i can make it through four hours today” look in their eyes. #iteach

legitimately can not remember the last time either of them was in the cat climber but now both of them are hanging out there. i feel like they are plotting something.

the horrible weekend of news is hitting me hard this morning. most of my comfort movies are rob reiner’s. i foresee a lot of smiling/crying in my future.

that “but you did” at the end!

as a teacher i have had this conversation so many times. i’m now using this line. #iteach
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

netflix thinks it’s found me my next show. clearly it doesn’t remember me getting the dvds from them more than 15 years ago. or the multiple rewatches when it was last streaming. but sure, i’ll probably watch. #thewestwing

i have been teaching for 18 years, 10 in this district. i am a professional. when all was said and done this year, i am getting an 11$ raise per paycheck (264$ total), which is more than we were told was possible. why would anyone sane do this job? #iteach #why
