Teaching is like being a stand up comedian.
If you ask most teachers, they'd say they don't like standardized testing.
If you have a sense of humor as an educator it makes you human, makes you approachable.
Take more chances.
People are qwirky and things will go awry. Humor helps.
You can't control the wind, but you can control the sails.
Kindergartner: cute and look like toys, but they're psychotic.
Binder: We get old when we stop playing children's games.
We don't always know we are affecting kids.
It's not what you teach it's your attitude.
"I think we should videotape everyclassroom" to avoid he said/she said at parent/teacher conferences.
"Credit recovery" not "summer school".
The worst people in the office are the ones about to retire. The new faculty who have excess energy and activities.
Have the right to be happy.--Why can't we have that everywhere?
You don't HAVE to say those things, instead we choose to share.
Sometimes you're the only one who knows your doing a good job and you have to be ok with that.
Because an educator is a special person--look for 4 words: Oh, I get it.
