Welcome to #WeirdEd! Tonight I want to talk about what we can’t talk about.

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:00 PM EDT

#WeirdEd I understand this will be inherently tricky. But we’re smart and we should give it a go.

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:01 PM EDT

#WeirdEd I wrote a blog. I didn’t name it #WeidEd but it was written to go with tonight- https://t.co/EAfOY99Huh

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:02 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Tonight’s a night of few Qs bc I think the topic will carry us through pretty well. If we don’t hit an hour, well, that’s ok too

mrburkemath Jun 1 @ 10:02 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens @TheWeirdTeacher No, that's "shouldn't" We *shouldn't* talk about Care Bears. Or Bronies. #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Jun 1 @ 10:02 PM EDT

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:09 PM EDT

#WeirdED Let's dive in. Like I said, this might be a tough one to do. Interested to see how we do.

shadow_uzumaki Jun 1 @ 10:09 PM EDT

@mrterborg Yeesh! #weirded That'd be a day I get to moderate a weirded chat

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:10 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Q1 What parts of teaching do you find it hard to talk about? With family. Even w other teachers?

#weirded I am the weirdest teacher! my students say so.I quit public Ed this year after 15 yrs. bcuz I couldn't say what I really wanted to

shadow_uzumaki Jun 1 @ 10:11 PM EDT

#weirded Anyway, Thomas Mision, I don't think I can word for word a movie w/ a sound off. Could quote lines during the movie tho

mrburkemath Jun 1 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@korytellers @nathan_stevens 'tisn't just contradiction #WeirdEd

scmaestra Jun 1 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher Wonderful question, Mr. Robertson. #WeirdEd

oolalume Jun 1 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@chrisandres003 @TheWeirdTeacher I say this to my 11 yo constantly bc he thinks the world starts and stops at his convenience #weirded

doodlinmunkyboy Jun 1 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher just rewatched Clerks. Haven't watched anything since Clerks 2 #WeirdEd

mrterborg Jun 1 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher So, we can't talk about it? #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@OutsideLearn #WeirdEd I'm the weirdest teacher bc OTHER people's students say so! ;-p

korytellers Jun 1 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1 It's not so much that talking about teaching that is hard. It's finding others who really understand what I am sharing. #Weirded

nathan_stevens Jun 1 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@korytellers no beats me in a #gifwar #weirded https://t.co/qEm1GKld1a

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@doodlinmunkyboy #WeirdEd Huh, that's unusual for him. He must have tried.

korytellers Jun 1 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1 I haven't found many teaching topics hard to talk about w/other teacher friends. I have a good circle of T friends to talk to. #Weirded

TheMrsC_9 Jun 1 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1: Dealing with the reality that some students inevitably fall through the cracks no matter how hard you try. #WeirdEd

GeoJo22 Jun 1 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1 Students at risk. I had a pretty normal childhood. Still can't believe what some kids go through. #weirded

mrterborg Jun 1 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@korytellers @nathan_stevens You're still beating me. I can't gif. Really. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@korytellers #WeirdEd And it's not even the talking about Teaching that's hard. It's the other stuff that comes with it.

shadow_uzumaki Jun 1 @ 10:13 PM EDT

#weirded A1. Just behavior issues, they tend to default to "Go teach in PH, kids are more wellbehaved" Clash of Cultures

korytellers Jun 1 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1 I think a lot of people think you are exaggerating when you share some of the experiences Ss/families share with you. #Weirded

TheMrsC_9 Jun 1 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1.2: Also that there's just never enough...never enough time, money, energy, space, resources, anything. #WeirdEd

MViTDiTeach Jun 1 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@korytellers Agree. Glad to have great colleagues. Otherwise NO ONE would get me or what we go through! #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@OutsideLearn Don't forget the hashtag so everyone sees. Can you say more? #WeirdEd

mrterborg Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

#weirded How much Ts don't understand Librarians need collaboration & classroom objectives.

MmeHibou Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

Q1: It's hard to talk about times where I feel isolated or am struggling. #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher A1 I am an open book but deign in higher Ed doesn't give much interaction with parents #Weirded

btcostello05 Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1 I rarely talk about the things my kids are dealing with, they carry so much weight or such small people #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@MmeHibou #WeirdEd Interesting. Bc you don't want to sound like you don't have it together?

scmaestra Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1. I find it hard to say literally how much the work, and the students, matter to me. I sound like a sap or a liar. #WeirdEd

mrburkemath Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1 The bad days are bad. Indescribable. don't have the words bad. So people think it's like what they've seen on tv or something

msmeggyweb Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

Q1 #WeirdEd I find it hard to talk about my learning process because it seems people don't have time #stillneedguidance

korytellers Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher Exactly, that's what I meant but hard to explain in 140. People just don't get it, hard for them to empathize. #Weirded

shadow_uzumaki Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@korytellers #weirded I know, right? There's a certain feeling to being an educator/future educator thats hard to explain to others

OutsideLearn Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher #weirded Empathy, I feel sad for students

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@TheMrsC_9 #WeirdEd Catcher in the Rye, trying to catch everyone.

oolalume Jun 1 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1 I hate how people want 2hear the shocking/how bad/inept edu system is. #weirded Yes, can b improved, but doing great stuff--not in crisis

EducatorSanchez Jun 1 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1 For me the pressure and the isolation to keep it up, all the different roles we play. Social worker, judge, etc. #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@GeoJo22 #WeirdEd And it's hard to express that.

mrterborg Jun 1 @ 10:15 PM EDT

#weirded That Specials are active learning times and not "Babysitting" times. (there, I said it.) I feel better.

doodlinmunkyboy Jun 1 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1: I'm blessed to be married to a teacher, friends with teachers... I can have the chats. #WeirdEd

OutsideLearn Jun 1 @ 10:16 PM EDT

#weirded So many students have anxiety, high stakes testing and punishing grades, sad to me.

shadow_uzumaki Jun 1 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@GeoJo22 #weirded Yeah, coming from a different culture, altogether. Authoritarian vs. more student-centered

msmeggyweb Jun 1 @ 10:16 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Q1 it's hard to say things and not get judged. Worrying about my professional standing over growth

chrisandres003 Jun 1 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A1: hard to say "I've done all I can for that one." it's hard to realize you've put others before your own family at times #weirded

nathan_stevens Jun 1 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@oolalume word. Kids are awesome. Teachers are awesome. Systems tend to suck everywhere. Accentuate the positive #Weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@MmeHibou #WeirdEd Underrated Disney movie. Kronk is the best. #squeaksqueakensqueaker

#WeirdEd Reminder that I have very few Qs for tonight bc I'm hoping we can bounce off each other's responses a bunch.

shadow_uzumaki Jun 1 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@MmeHibou #weirded Just watched that recently, made me miss handdrawn animations vs. CGI

mrburkemath Jun 1 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @MmeHibou Definitely a sleeper film. They just tossed it out there. Warburton delivers #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@scmaestra #WeirdEd Listing the work and the connection does sound dramatic and hyperbolic.

MrLeBrun Jun 1 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A1: My willingness to try something brand new that - more than likely - won't work as I hope. Other Ts don't get this. #WeirdEd

scmaestra Jun 1 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A1. I don't like talking abt issues my students -- working class S of color -- deal with. Reinforces stereotypes for some white ppl.#WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Jun 1 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@btcostello05 Kids never seems to fail to shock me when talking about something they are dealing with #WeirdEd

bcreech01 Jun 1 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@btcostello05 This to me answers this question perfectly. Sometimes it feels like a confessional. Go home worrying. #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@msmeggyweb #WeirdEd Like, how you're struggling but can't ask for help?

doodlinmunkyboy Jun 1 @ 10:18 PM EDT

Though I do filter some of the frustrations, and only discuss some stuff with certain folk. #WeirdEd

KathleenDiver Jun 1 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A1 It's hard to chat about grading w/ others. They do not understand why it takes me so long #weirded

scmaestra Jun 1 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher Yes. And many people just don't really care. I mean, do I care about my friend's accounting practice? Not too much #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Jun 1 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@MrLeBrun I enjoy the heck out of things that don't work. #WeirdEd

#weirded I get that Ts have a hard life. But Specialists can see and grade multi-grade groups. I have 2 libraries to maintain, tech +more

btcostello05 Jun 1 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@bcreech01 my kids have seen more heartache and struggle in 8 years of life than I have in more than 4 times that many #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@MistyMitchellm #WeirdEd That would be helpful. Wife is a Special Ed T for tiny humans, so she gets it too.

msmeggyweb Jun 1 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher yeah. I'm just finishing my second year and I'm worried about putting on a strong face instead of showing that I struggle

shadow_uzumaki Jun 1 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@msmeggyweb @doodlinmunkyboy #WeirdEd We tend to share The Best Stuff. So when Ts inevitably compare themselves to others they feel lacking
