People ask why I go to parent teacher conferences when my kids have good report cards 😕😕😕 because they are more than a grade #EduGladiators

My school seems to be in process of rebranding. So much groundwork to do behind the brand! #EduGladiators

Probably why so many Ss that didn't do well in traditional school, do well in life #EduGladiators

Totally agree but it's called over testing! 1st things squeezed out is creativity & the arts. #EduGladiators

It takes time to move from "You must follow this pacing guide & TE with fidelity" to"be innovative". Patience & guidance. #edugladiators

Don't have to jump thru the testing hoop in our school - probably why Ts take risks #EduGladiators

This is true - you have to give freedom to cover the curriculum in innovative ways Focus on skills not content #EduGladiators

A4 We're known as the "hippy" school - the reputation (meant to be negative) unexpectedly gives Ts & Ss freedom to explore #EduGladiators

agreed and agreed. It's frustrating that by middle school, 2nd conferences are optional, like if you "need" them. #EduGladiators
