When a dream becomes a nightmare
As young children we are very often asked what we want to be when we grow up. Many adults ask children this as a way to get to know the things they like to do. Every child has a different idea of their future so the answers can be rather varied. Despite this it seems we all have one or two outrageous ideas in our childhood. Perhaps the most outrageous are those that seem the most normal.

Confession of a retiring teacher
I never particularly liked children. Had I been working in a warehouse, or picking apples on an orchard, this would not have posed a problem at all.

Email marketing is a great way to build your brand, gain customer loyalty and increase sales. Content is the most important part of any email you send out.

Teachers Have Feelings Too
"It's not like you even care about me." Student A said, or rather, yelled across the room at me as I stood behind my podium, entering grades and observing the student collaboration on the days activity. The students were preparing for debates to be held the following week, and unfortunately Student A was given an alternative assignment due to inappropriate class behavior and incompletion of class/homework assignments.

I Have a Dream... to Foster Self-Belief and Dreams Back into Students of the 21st Century.
I am a teacher, and if you went to any teacher training or professional development today, you would see that our job revolves mostly around academics, even if it is heard otherwise. My job consists primarily of teaching a lesson and giving instruction on activities revolving around the core subjects, like math, science, social studies and/or ELAR. I am expected to follow standards, units, and prepare students for state assessments. It is the criteria of my job, and I went through school, took tests and was prepared for just that. Yes, there is positive reinforcement, behavioral management, encouragement and social-emotional development for students, but those are what we would call the "supporting" standards, and the teach to the test, data driven instruction is the "readiness" standard.

Chess – Fall In Love With Winning The War
What Is Chess And Why Is It Important? If you’ve ever heard the term ‘chess’ you may be familiar with the game, yet not know much about it. Chess is a strategy game where two players take turns moving pieces on a board. The pieces represent a kingdom’s military and nobles, while the goal is to capture the opponent’s pieces, removing them from the board each time you do so, and ultimately trap the opponent’s king. Check Mate, they call it.

Teachers Save the World.. Top Story - January 2022.
We moved around a lot growing up. We weren't a military family or anything like that, but we were a family of thirteen (that, down the timeline, became a family of 16) so we outgrew houses quickly. I hated it. I hated making friends just to leave them behind and I hated always being the new kid in school, but I knew my parents were doing the best that they could do.

An Open Letter To The Teacher That Always Believed In Me
Dear Ms. S. They say that in order to succeed in life, you only need one person to believe in you. I’m not sure if that’s true for everyone, but I’m certain it was true for me. You hear those stories everyday about people writing about that one teacher that changed their life. You think it sounds outrageous, I mean how can one teacher change the world, right? But you changed my life in so many ways and I don’t ever know if there are enough words in the dictionary to really express the gratitude for all that I feel for all that you've done for me.
