I understand that COVID is still messing up a lot of supply chains and employers. It's messing up a lot of school personnel, too. But if there's a problem and your response isn't "you're damn right, and we're gonna fix it" then quit wasting our time.

Today on "you might be the problem..." You might be the problem if someone tells you you're the problem and you reply "no, you!" You might also be an 8 year old whose brother just called you a "doo-doo head."

Today on "you might be the problem..." You might be the problem if someone tells you that there's an unsafe amount of detritus in the hallways and air (visibly) and your job is to investigate and you don't do it for 3 weeks

Today on "you might be the problem..." You might be the problem if someone tells you the contractor left stripes of paint on unpainted drywall, and you reply "we can't paint everything there's only so much room in the budget."

Today on "you might be the problem..." YOU might be the problem if 5 independent people give you 5 explicit examples demonstrating the failures of your system, and you reply "we have a system for that."

Let's refrain from calling what happened at OUR school a mob, riot, whatever. Students conducted a mostly peaceful protest. Most returned to class at the end - but that still left a lot behind, only because so many were involved.

What will not be reported on: the majority of students that stayed in class – those who returned to class after voicing their concerns, not from threat of punishment, repercussions, anger or spite, but because they felt heard and they respect our administration and our school.

What will not be reported on: the discussions happening in our classrooms about consent, nonviolent protest, witch hunts, due process, innocence until proven guilty, victim shaming.

A lot of teachers are stressed because their students are not where they expect them to be by this point. They need to give themselves some grace. They can’t teach twice as hard and the kids can’t learn twice as fast. We just take them where we get them… and move them forward.

And on the 46th day, the gods finally decided to turn on the heat at school because the kids were getting ratchet. On the 47th day, they rested.

When you let your students set norms for discussion and it turns out they're more draconian than the teachers #cornerofshame #lordoftheflies #calmdownkids

Admin, if you need to meet with a staff member, take a moment to let them know the reason so they aren't stressed out until the meeting. Theres no reason for unnecessary stress.

"Right now, the limit of 10 non-traditional instruction days – along with the inability to use those days just for one school – won’t work with the infection rates we are seeing," @KYCommishGlass says in his Monday Message to districts.
