SPEDirectorBISD Mar 28 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A1 MAD and SAD for the teacher and the stigma that it portrayed. Kinder teachers are rockstars that don't allow chaos. #ruraledchat

j6panus Mar 28 @ 8:45 PM EDT

#RuralEdChat A1: disgusted. a ridiculous and demeaning portrayal of teachers.

jschwartzcen Mar 28 @ 8:45 PM EDT

#RuralEdChat A1: North American society celebrates pro athletes and movie actors but has low opinions of Ts esp. their unions.

edventures - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:45 PM EDT

#RuralEdChat A1: I think that it also disrespects children. Is that how we view them (thru a media lens) as well?

#RuralEdChat A1; Ts need to be pro active and press media to do stories of the positive things that Ts are doing.

A1: Do you think society thinks this is a true depiction of a classroom?😀 Scary! 😩#Ruraledchat
