I’m going into my 25th year of teaching. The use of AI has made students lazy, brazen & foolish. They aren’t able to have a unique thought. They aren’t curious. They need instant gratification. They lack creativity & an appreciation for seeing a project through. It’s soul-crushing to witness.
Happy gotcha day to the best baby & prettiest girl in the world. 🐾
As summer starts winding down & school begins over the next few weeks, we want to do an episode about you: the teachers. Please email us if you’d like to be featured. @teachersunify.bsky.social
It’s June 30. Why is Walmart already running back-to-school commercials? As a teacher, I’m begging you to let me enjoy what’s left of my summer without thinking about work.
I just spent eight days in San Diego focusing solely on myself. I attended OnSite’s Triumph Over Tragedy to (finally) declutter my brain & move through healing. I met some amazing people; although we went through different experiences with gun violence, we have a deep understanding & connection.
I was the keynote speaker at today’s Leon County Sheriff’s Office School Safety Summit. I spoke to law enforcement officers, district officials, school administrators & educators about MSD, living with trauma, “Parkland Speaks” & @teachersunify.bsky.social.
The next two months will be spent relaxing, recharging & resetting.

This year brought me back to newspaper & lit mag, but also brought the challenges of trying to navigate & educate in a state/country that grossly undervalue education & educators.

HOLY SH*T, this parting statement by Scott Pelley is WILD: "New management has instructed me to INJECT FALSEHOODS AND BIAS into a politically sensitive story. I've been told to include assertions that are unverified." I bet he knows a LOT more, too. 🔥
Today was senior crowning at my high school. This was what my daughter wore. 👑
Just filled my car with gas & it cost $65! But she had a weird laugh, right…

Is it really Passover if you don’t watch “The Ten Commandments”?
I just saw a Lowe’s commercial with “Roll Out” by Ludacris. I’ll just be over here signing a lease for a place at a retirement community.
I couldn’t attend a protest today, but I wore my shirt to speak truth to power.

School shootings aren’t inevitable—they can be, and should be prevented with secure gun storage.

Americans want us to treat each other with dignity, not inhumanity. It may feel like dystopian scenes are inescapable these days, but what I see—from kids buzzing about books to a Super Bowl performance celebrating love and diversity—gives me hope.
