Today my students worked on complex English sentence structures. As I always do the zoom break out rooms are randomized.
I accidentally put all the English Language Learners in the same group 😱
I have never apologized to students so much 🤣☠️

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Taxes are the powerhouse of anxiety. It's called balance.

I teach a 200 level college class. Last day before first project is due so I do one-on-ones.
The amount of times I’ve had to explain the BASIC PREMISE of the project is unnerving. I’ve said the same thing every class for four weeks.
I’m concerned for the next generation.

It's a myth that 'teachers just relax all summer'.
Dr. Arlie Hochschild established the framework of Emotional Labor (1983), showing conclusively that extended time off is clinically necessary to reverse chronic burnout.
