I love your blog. Your videos were hilariously on-point. Thank you for making me laugh.
You are most welcome. I am glad to help.
Thanks for some great laughs between bouts of teeth-gnashing at the current education deform movement. Your videos are gut-busting funny. They are so true it hurts. Your take on all this lunacy is spot on!
I have been teaching for 35 years. It is so refreshing to have found out over the last few years that all the failures in my class have been my fault. At times I worried it might be the kids and their laziness and lack of concern with the work they do, but now I know. I am currently in the process of tracking down my past failures in order to apologize to them. Next week I will be visiting a local prison where many of them reside in order to do a mass apology. I will be publicly beaten and humiliated, and then I will take the place of one of these outstanding individuals who will then teach in my place. No one will dare criticize him. They know what will happen if they do.
Heard you on NPR this morning and spent my planning period laughing instead of working on my data-informed (or, more appropriately, “data-driven?”) professional growth plan. Thanks for adding humor to our gripes.
It’s time to take back our profession.
Thank you. I think I might actually be able to drag myself into school in the morning thanks for to the cathartic release your video provides.
