Trying to make out every word, when I should simply hum along.
My slow transformation into becoming more and more like my dad is almost complete; I take an apple to work in my lunch every day, I’m half-deaf, and I follow behind family members shutting off lights while grumbling under my breath. Apparently, this is 50.

Happy birthday to the kid who thinks he’s almost as tall as his mama, wants to know everything about the solar system, and who started, disbanded, and reunited a band with his dad in less than three months.

This morning, I overheard one of my students ask his classmate, “Do you listen to Joe Rogan?”
They’re both 10. This is why I know we’re doomed.

That’s a wrap. My classroom is packed up, keys and computer are turned in, and a letter of resignation has been submitted. Goodbyes have been said and some tears were shed. What was only supposed to be a year quickly turned into ten. Now, it’s on to my next chapter at a new school and district.

The classroom we’re meeting in for today’s professional development is playing instrumental versions of Disney songs. This has to be a Guantanamo Bay torture technique, right?

Again, please, Generative AI (chatbots, image generators...) demands crazy amount of energy and water and increases carbon footprint.
When you use it, you are not just stealing copyrighted material and looking super clumsy, you are also accelerating global warming.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.
