I read, "Oh no, Kanye, DON'T!" but either way it's awesome.

Unfortunately when you cram say, 32 kids in a general education class, and have 9 of those kids have an IEP, it's very difficult to teach at a pace that is effective for all of them. Throw in prior knowledge that a student may have, and face it, it's difficult for ANY teacher to be sure that 32 kids are learning…

Except first grade? When they only give the kids two lines with no space between them? When some kids may be struggling to read, yet can completely do a standard algorithm, yet now their math scores are plummeting too and "I can do math, but I'm bad at it...cause it's the READING in the math that is the problem, Ms.…

She was "loosing" papers? What, exactly, did she do to 'loosen' them up? Seems like you probably shouldn't have been doing your homework in class all the time, otherwise you'd realize she was 'losing' papers.

People are overlooking the fact that it is incorrect to seat all behavioral problems in a classroom together…

It's rude to do your homework in class. That's what people are pointing out. The rules apply to everyone in the class, including you. It's called "homework" not "classwork." Though reading under the desk and actually responding to a homework assignment are slightly different things, even though you may have had…

If what you're saying is true, she's an idiot. I separate my behavior issues. Divide and conquer! Seating arrangements are one of my least favorite parts of teaching...but that's also because my 5th graders have been with each other for about 5 straight years together, so they are WAY too comfortable with each other…

How old is your daughter, might I ask? I received a VERY long email from a stepfather who told me that he and my student got into a two hour, teary fight over the math homework. His email was basically "I showed him this way, he refused and said I was wrong, but I'm NOT wrong, am I, Ms. Sunshineaya?"

With Common Core,…

Not even advanced ANYTHING. I teach elementary school, and students need to be able to show their work to show that they can solve problems multiple ways and they write sentences to explain how they solved their work/their thinking. This starts as early as first grade (I wish I was kidding).

I'm pretty sure any teacher would be irritated that you were doing homework in class. That's typically frowned upon.

With Common Core now, they will specifically ask a kid to solve it a specific way and show their work, so they must show their work.

The fact that the SECOND time you saw ice cream cake was in COLLEGE tells me that you are the wrong person to be writing this article. I am extremely confused as to how that even happened. Also, you don't know "personal connection to ice cream cake" unless you requested a Carvel ice cream cake for your birthday WITH A…

In addition to this, if you were locked up for a longgggggg time, perhaps indefinitely, wouldn't you perhaps turn to a belief in a religion/higher power/afterlife as a way of hanging in there? Jesus preaches forgiveness, yo. I'm serious, though. I can imagine if I were in that position, I might cling more strongly to…

This really is the most Kanye-est interpretation ever. I thought it was perfect.

As a 5th grade teacher, I would put money on the fact that Gabi's class has been learning alllllllll about figurative language (it's in the Common Core ELA standards). Similes and metaphors and sadness, oh my! I mean, I gave my kids a creative writing assignment with at prompt for them to imagine they woke up inside a…

...drifting through the wind?

I hate ALL reboots. I don't really want to see a reboot of Ghostbusters with women either if they were taking the roles of the original guys...but, and here's where the difference may be between me and the OP...I wouldn't want to see another MAN resuming those roles, either. Make new Ghostbusting characters with their…

Nothing is wrong with being angry. Hell, he has a right to be angry. The man has a damn good point most of the time, he just isn't always the most articulate at expressing it. My point wasn't that there was something wrong with him being angry, just that well, yeah, the whole "angry black man/woman" thing happens and…

I know what there are racial undertones to calling blacks angry, but in this VERY SPECIFIC CASE...can we NOT describe a few of his rants as angry? Just as Tom Cruise jumping on the couch was in fact bat shit crazy...let's be real here...angry is definitely an emotion that I feel from Kanye sometimes. Not ALL the time,…

I cannot deal with that video and the one with her BEFORE she died. Say what you will about the man, but he obviously is going through a tremendous amount of pain and loved his mother so much. My heart breaks for him.
