Welcome to #WeirdEd, where we know who you’re gonna call. No one. Who calls people anymore? You’re gonna text the Ghostbusters

shadow_uzumaki Jul 20 @ 10:01 PM EDT

@djsardine @TheWeirdTeacher It will always be this time, unless Doug says otherwise #WeirdEd :)

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jul 20 @ 10:01 PM EDT

#WeirdEd And when they don't text you back right away you're gonna wonder if you did something wrong, they're normally quick, I'm sure it's

@mrburkemath #WeirdEd I did a brief presentation of Scrooge confronted by Ghost of Christmas Future, probably one of my best in 6th grade

@TheWeirdTeacher That scene where Harry tries to talk to him about Sirius ... gets me every time. #weirded

@slwindisch No bowties or tweed tonight. My Muppet Abbey Road shirt isn't very professorly (even if I do like books). #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jul 20 @ 10:12 PM EDT

#WeirdEd We could do the whole hour on the upcoming first Q, but that would be CHAOS! Cats and dogs, living together.

MarciaDressel Jul 20 @ 10:12 PM EDT

Time on phone means time for dusting etc. so call me maybe #WeirdEd

.@TheWeirdTeacher This sounds like my childhood home. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jul 20 @ 10:13 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Q1 Let’s jump in with both feet- Was school better or worse when you were a student? Why?

MrsBennettELA Jul 20 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1: School was different- but kids were different, too. The world was different. And it wasn't that long ago. #weirded

MarciaDressel Jul 20 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@TeacherWithTuba when I grow up I want to live in your part of Idaho (visited once) welcome to #weirded

CrazySciTeach Jul 20 @ 10:14 PM EDT

Kim, MS STEM T from Fresno. Peeves!! do poltergeists count? #WeirdEd

shadow_uzumaki Jul 20 @ 10:14 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1 Well,depends, it was mostly "Eh" until 5th-6th grade,then I got cool Ts

TheLaneFloyd Jul 20 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1 I can say that 100% of the accountability was on me in school where that is not really the case today. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jul 20 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@MrsBennettELA #WeirdEd How were kids different? Bc I don't think kids were all that different. Interested why you think.

TeacherWithTuba Jul 20 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@MarciaDressel @slwindisch & I sure like it here. It's a beautiful place (but the politics can get ugly) #WeirdEd

mrburkemath Jul 20 @ 10:15 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1 My HS is better now. The tech, the courses, the opportunities, the girls (coming this Sept, finally) Schools in general, IDK

TheLaneFloyd Jul 20 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1b that and I was not tested to death when I was in school. #weirded

AWuerfele Jul 20 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1: School is worse now, one assignment means at least 20 to grade, but I have more friends now. #WeirdEd

jenfromri - Moderator Jul 20 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1: I loved school, but objectively, worse. I experienced basically no student choice about anything. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Jul 20 @ 10:15 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1 although, moving from 1 country to another does do cultre shock

CrazySciTeach Jul 20 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1: I feel like Sci is the same, maybe because I try to teach the way my Ts taught me, lots of experiential and hands on learning #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jul 20 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@TheLaneFloyd #WeirdEd You feel students are less accountable now than they were?

Snydermanmath Jul 20 @ 10:15 PM EDT

Everything wasn't the teacher responsibility, my parents actually had to do something! #weirded

lesliefarooq Jul 20 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1FollowUp: Better than what? Better than it is for students now or better than it is for me as a teacher now? #weirded @TheWeirdTeacher

GeoJo22 Jul 20 @ 10:15 PM EDT

We are talking 1960s. It only worked for me because I was smart and compliant. Desks bolted to the floor. HS was a bit better. #WeirdEd

MrsBennettELA Jul 20 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher Pre-internet innocence and ignorance were easier to keep. Also no public forum at our fingertips- no phones, apps #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Jul 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1 But it seems like, as a student, we had more time to do classes,but when I volunteer, schedule seems packed,not enough indepth

MsMarshallCMS Jul 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A1 Worse...we never did fun stuff text books, workbooks, even the "cool"projects were not as creative as what's possible now. #WeirdEd

GeoJo22 Jul 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Damn. Forgot the A1 sauce. #WeirdEd

tlnwilkinson Jul 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A1 I think worse It was fine for me a self-motivated everything-comes-easy-learner but it lacked individualization we have today #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jul 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@MrsBennettELA #WeirdEd So kids know more and are less innocent than we were? Might be true. And they are louder now than they were.

slwindisch Jul 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach Oooh, see - I didn't get that until HS, which was sad bc I LOVE science. I think the Ts at my school do more labs #WeirdEd

TheMidwestTeach Jul 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher I don't know that it was better or worse. I think we had a lot less testing, which immediately makes me biased. #WeirdEd

TeacherWithTuba Jul 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A2 Worse then. Too many worksheets & I got in trouble for breaking rules instead of being celebrated for it.

lesliefarooq Jul 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach I feel this way too, Kim. #WeirdEd

msmusiced Jul 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A1: It's much different for me- I grew up in a rural school, teach in a suburban/urban setting now. #WeirdEd

AwesomeScience Jul 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A1 Better - I went to school #littlehouseonprairie style - One teacher for K-6 differentiation, PBL before the words were invented #weirded

jenfromri - Moderator Jul 20 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@TheMidwestTeach That's a good point. Much less testing. #weirded

MarciaDressel Jul 20 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A1 elem was nothing challenging, had some great HS Tts - overall worse then. Ss 2day have more challenge/choices #WeirdEd

MrsBennettELA Jul 20 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@TheMidwestTeach Agree with you here- was tempted to go this direction as well. #weirded

jenfromri - Moderator Jul 20 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@AwesomeScience That sounds amazing! #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jul 20 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@TeacherWithTuba #WeirdEd You think you'd rather be a student in 2016 than in 1989?

nathan_stevens Jul 20 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher A1 not sure. #WeirdEd

TheLaneFloyd Jul 20 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher Absolutely at my first and second schools and one was Top 100 in the nation and the other was low Title I. #weirded

@mrskmattson I looove this movie! My favorite Christmas movie. #weirded

slwindisch Jul 20 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A1: What was meh then is meh now - I still feel like I need to elaborate on school to get out of it what others just _get_ #WeirdEd

Snydermanmath Jul 20 @ 10:18 PM EDT

1989 had better hair! #weirded

MsMarshallCMS Jul 20 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @MrsBennettELA Kids seem a lot more "emo" teens at least. Insecurity over better lives seen on social media. #WeirdEd

CrazySciTeach Jul 20 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@slwindisch my MS Sci Ts were awesome, they really made me love Sci, HS Ts kept it going, but it all started in MS for me #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jul 20 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens #WeirdEd Half and half?

slwindisch Jul 20 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach I had a really rad MS Sci T too - I had her twice. I was so lucky. #WeirdEd

msmusiced Jul 20 @ 10:19 PM EDT

TeacherWithTuba Jul 20 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher Yes, I think there is more creative teaching happening now. Plus, I liked the standardized tests. #WeirdEd

@slwindisch I hope that's what my Ss will say about me when they're older 😬 #WeirdEd

lesliefarooq Jul 20 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A1: Anything I think of is marred by what seems like simpler times and nostalgia makes me say 'then,' but now is very cool too. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jul 20 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@msmusiced #WeirdEd I think the amount of play comes from the T to, yeah? My kids, for ex, get play. But other classes don't

TeacherWithTuba Jul 20 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@mrskmattson Muppet Christmas Carol is a favorite, but I like the tuba part for the 3rd ghost's theme so much I'd pick him #WeirdEd

mrskmattson Jul 20 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A1: In HS, I was tracked into upper level courses so I only saw Ss that played the game of school like I did. I see more apathy now #WeirdEd

slwindisch Jul 20 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @msmusiced At our school it's mandated. Like, instructional hours are a REALLY sacred cow. #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jul 20 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@TeacherWithTuba #WeirdEd I never hated the standardized tests either. https://t.co/QUhSCJ0ZN8

AWuerfele Jul 20 @ 10:20 PM EDT

.@MarciaDressel Agreed. I feel like I did a lot of WS in school, some projects. Don't remember being REALLY pushed, but I'm old. #WeirdEd

MrsBennettELA Jul 20 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @msmusiced Yes- one of my goals this year is to incorporate more play in ELA class. 8th graders need it too. #weirded

@slwindisch @msmusiced gift to. I vividly remember recess in junior high and ours don't get that #WeirdEd

TeacherWithTuba Jul 20 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher I thought the reading passages on the standardized tests were more interesting than most of what we read in class #WeirdEd

#WeirdEd Aside from Tech, I feel like meeting Ss socio-emotional needs still needs lots of work. Such as cyberbullying (still tech related?
