MysticalMarmot+FollowStop Asking for Grades You Didn’t Earn!I’ve gotta be honest—I'm SO tired of parents and kids asking me to bump up grades they just didn’t earn. 😅 • I teach AP, and not everyone’s an A student. That’s just real life! • Lately, I keep hearing, “But my kid’s dream is to be valedictorian!” 🙈 Like... valedictorians don’t need to ask for grade bumps, right? • Had a parent email me: “My kid didn’t understand the instructions, that’s why they missed half the assignment.” But everyone else got it? 🤔 • And then there’s the classic: students run to their counselors to complain, and the counselors send them right back to us. Round and round we go! Honestly, I just want everyone to know: EARNING your grade is what matters. Not asking for a free pass. ❤️ Let’s keep it real, folks! #TeacherLife #GradingTruths #EducationReality #Education213Share
hnguyen+FollowAI Grading: Fast, But Can You Trust It?Just read about a UGA study where AI graded science homework way faster than teachers—but it kinda missed the point half the time! The AI mostly looked for keywords instead of real understanding, and only got it right a third of the time without a detailed rubric. With better instructions, it did a bit better, but teachers still aren’t off the hook. Cool tech, but not ready to take over grading just yet! #AIinEducation #EdTech #TeacherLife #ArtificialIntelligence #UGA #Education10Share

Robert Cox+FollowBuffaloes Don’t Have Wings?!You will not believe what a class of 8th graders just learned: buffaloes don’t actually have wings. Yep, they thought Buffalo wings came from actual buffaloes, and their teacher was so stunned he had to sit down. The internet is losing it over this mix-up, and honestly, who else remembers thinking the same thing as a kid? Turns out, we’ve all had our hilarious food misconceptions! #TeacherLife #BuffaloWings #MiddleSchoolMoments #FoodFails #Relatable #Education20Share
Julie Alexander+FollowAI Is Grading Your Homework Now?!AI just hit US classrooms in a big way! Kira’s new platform does everything from grading assignments to building lesson plans—yep, even catching plagiarism. Teachers get more time for real student support, and the AI can spot when someone’s struggling before it’s too late. Some teachers say it’s a game-changer, but I can’t help but wonder: is anything lost when a robot reviews your work? Would you want your assignments graded by AI? #AIinEducation #EdTech #TeacherLife #PersonalizedLearning #FutureOfSchool #Education50Share
Robert Cox+FollowWhy Are Teachers Winning Big? 🤔Guys, get this—a teacher got a hefty payout after a student threw a laptop at her head. She was knocked out cold! The NASUWT union secured a whopping £15.2M in total for teachers facing issues like injuries or discrimination last year. What’s going on in schools these days? Since when did dodging flying laptops become part of the job description? Thoughts? #Education #TeacherLife #WorkplaceSafety177Share
Teresa Anderson+Followwhen students test your patienceEver feel like you're more of a personal assistant than a teacher?

Alan Willis+Followhave you ever worked in a toxic workplace?Ever been in a toxic work environment? I have, and it was brutal. As a teacher, I witnessed a principal who made life hell for those she disliked. She'd exclude certain staff from treats and publicly shame them in meetings. Sure, some teachers made mistakes, but the bullying was unprofessional. Let's share our stories and support each other in navigating toxic workplaces. #ToxicWorkplace #TeacherLife141Share
benjaminharvey+FollowWhy do people keep saying teachers are underpaid? 🤔I’ve been thinking a lot lately… Why do people always say teachers are underpaid? I mean, the salary isn’t too bad, and with so many holidays and benefits, it doesn’t seem like the worst gig. But somehow, the whole “teacher salaries are too low” thing still comes up all the time. Teachers, what’s your take? Any stories or thoughts to share? 🤷♀️ #TeacherPay #TeacherLife #TeachingJobs90Share
