I’ve taught kindergarten for 18 years in Berkeley, CA. I’m biracial. I see how our public schools treat kids of color. The United States treats kids of color horribly. Look at any public school statistics and you will find children of color failing.

Dear Republicans,

I’ve taught kindergarten 16 years—I’ve learned a bit about working with a wide range of kids. Working with children is more nuanced than simply being a general and ordering kids around.

Mason jars with plastic lids. A mason jar will store things longer than any other storage container. The shape is not ideal, but it’ll keep blue berries, etc longer.

As a kindergarten teacher of 16 years, I feel I can answer your questions. It might amaze you to know that students actually need to be in the classroom to be taught.

Let’s not say alt right. These people are right wing. There is no difference between trump, ryan, and the KKK. They all have the same focus.

I taught kindergarten for 16 years and have found that successful core student skills are not academic but behavioral. A student that can focus, remain on task, and persevere through difficult challenges will succeed in school. Parents get excited about a memorizing multiplication sets, but what’s important is a…

Florida law is so confusing

He hates wheels!!!!!!!

I had massive acid reflux for years—even with a heavy dosage of proton pump inhibitors (A lot of research as shown that long term proton pump inhibitor use is unhealthy). I took a lot of tests including an assessment for celiacs, but nothing showed up. I began cutting things out of my diet—beer, milk, etc. I stopped…

Egg cups are for Neanderthals. It is far more civil to eat a peeled egg. The key to a soft boiled egg is preparing it in a way so that the shell does not stick. There are two things that effect how much the shell sticks—age of laying hen and consistent water temperature. A civil person brings there pot to boil, adds…

I’m the father of a four year old girl and a kindergarten teacher. It’s brutal being a parent. I love my daughter and she is the easiest kid, but it’s still a lot of work. After 16 years of working in kindergarten I’ve learned a little. The main factor in a child’s ability to succeed is their behavior. Parents…

We need to boycott companies that advertise on news agencies that push the BS that help to inspire racist monsters. Trump and Fox news are inspiring racists to act—It’s immoral to support the companies that help fox news inspire new attacks on Americans and people around the world.

As a kindergarten teacher, this is the way some of my students speak to me. My administration does nothing. In my school district, administration no long reports things like this attack. Kids are getting more and more violent. I’ve had a 5 year old do this same thing repeatedly. Sometimes they pull him out 6-7…

I’ve taught kindergarten for 16 years. I assess kids in the first 3 days of school. The gap between black kids and white kids is huge—across the US data shows this gap only gets worse as students move through school. Simply saying we need better schools is not enough. The best schools in the world can not reverse…

Scumbag racist. They are having their day in the sun with Trump as president. They’re as proud as anything to have a racist crook for president. Anti science and racism go hand in hand.

I’ve taught kindergarten for 16 years. I’ve talked to hundreds of parents. I see how much the women do more than the men.

I’ve been teaching kindergarten for 16 years. I’m vetted in my retirement, but it’s basically maxed at $35K—not enough for retirement. I’ve looked around, my $70K is what all jobs in my area offer. I need to make more dough. I figure I can work over my 6 week summer break, 2 weeks for winter, 1 week for spring. …

I’ve been a kindergarten teacher for 16 years. In my career I’ve seen how parents break kids.

I was a teacher during the Bush W. years. As a teacher, I need support dealing with the Trump administration. Republicans generally have 3 ways of attacking public schools. Folks need to understand that most republican policy makers simply want to end public school. First and for most, they will begin a smear…
