Let’s do a #bfc530 Summer Break (at least here in the USA) check … what’s going on with everyone?

Hey #bfc530 … sorry I have been detached this week … been hitting that education Summer detox… how is everyone doing?

Random question for the #bfc530 chat …

Do people play board games or cards any more?

I remember growing up it seemed like everyone played games. Were physical games replaced by digital games? Are they better?

Whaat are your thoughts?

Something I wish I did, but didn’t … History Fair with the students … we started it but then got hit with a couple
If hurricanes and missed school so it got lost in the missed school days. I love doing that project with the kids. #bfc530
Happy Wednesday

Time for the #bfc530 slow chat.

With the end of the school year here (or near) let’s talk “regret” … what is something you wish you could have done but didn’t?

One thing that bothers me is when people use the phrase “do it for the students” as a tool of manipulation … usually when they are adding something else to our teaching plate.

I’m going to try to wrap up Reconstruction without the use of any tech because kids are turning in their devices … I wonder how many kids will be showing up … #bfc530
May 19, 2025 at 10:22 AM
The last full week of school for me …

Still expected to be teaching bell to bell … kids are turning in their computers …

How do you keep kids focused on learning when their minds are on Summer break?

Good Morning #BlueSky and #BFC530 … as I prepare to embark on my 4th day of holding … 5 hours with the same group with the expectation of doing something constructive without playing a movie … let’s talk unrealistic expectations

What are some unrealistic expectations you have in your work life?

Hey … sorry for not posting in #Bfc530 … had to run my FiL into the ER … in the waiting area.

This life moment brings up the question … How do you all deal with aging parents?

Mine have passed, but my wife’s are in their upper 80s.

As a veteran teacher, I enjoy a lot of autonomy. Although, I am in a system of rules and standards that must be followed so so I am not really sure if I have real autonomy or if I just think I do because my Admin isn’t telling me what to do all the time. #bfc530
