There are some of us teachers who, when faced with uncertainty, want things to "get back to normal" as soon as possible.

I get it. It& #39;s how you cope.

But isn& #39;t now the time to maybe think about how everyone else is carrying your coping?https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷" title="Person shrugging" aria-label="Emoji: Person shrugging"> 1/

Thinking about @LadyOfSardines& #39;s *eight thousand emails* from all her kids& #39; teachers detailing all the HOURS of work they& #39;re expecting in the transition to e-learning.

Buddies, maybe you should, oh I dunno, check to see what other options you/your district have? 2/

Families, caregivers, and students need connection and fun right now. I switched up the order of units, took away a BUNCH of work, slowed WAY down, and am celebrating the #2020seniorsofMilks because that& #39;s what the times call for. 3/

Teachers finding themselves caught between a rock and an administrative hard place:
if you haven& #39;t seen it, please go check out @AlexSVenet& #39;s timely, generous piece https://unconditionallearning.org/2020/04/03/some-thoughts-on-pushing-back-and-speaking-up/">https://unconditionallearning.org/2020/04/0... 4/

So, so glad that @MCCSC_EDU has made contingency learning so humane - for students AND for teachers.
Three hours/day of teacher on-demand time, 3-4 hrs/day MAX of schoolwork for HS students, LOTS of kindness and compassion, plus great plans for reaching and feeding kids. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Two hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Two hearts"> /end
