Me: Why aren't you eating your lunch?

Student: I'm saving it for later.

M: It'll go bad if you leave it out too long.

S: I know, but we don't have food to eat when I get home so I'll eat it right after school and it will be like lunch and dinner together then.

M: You don't have any food at your house?

S: (Looking down) We have some cereal.

M: Don't worry. I'll make sure you get some food at home. I promise.

S: I believe you.

M: (heart breaking into a million pieces)

@GayDeceiver thank you for the work you did. A lot people have no idea how awful it is for many, many children.

@ChrisHolladay absolutely. Also, no one should have to dive for food.

I teach students with emotional regulation disabilities and other learning disabilities. That being said, the 9th graders in general education classes are also reading considerably below grade level. I am in NJ, where our educational standards are higher than most states in the country.

Have any of you ever read r/Teachers on Reddit? Shit is WILD over there. Like, my kids come home from 7th and 8th grade and talk about how there are 7th graders who just can't read and I'm like "my kid is exaggerating" and then there's actual damn TEACHERs talking to each other saying "Shit my kids can't read like just CAN'T"... and it's apparently stuff teachers have been saying for around 10 yrs... In about 5-10 years our society is going to collapse as far as I can see.

@dlakelan we’re screaming it! It’s systemic and it’s awful.

@dlakelan I am a high school teacher and it’s a huge issue. It’s undiagnosed learning disabilities, which turn into behavioral issues. It’s underfunded schools. It’s hungry children who are often forced to work, take care of siblings/other family obligations, it’s focusing on standardized tests instead of the whole-student approach, it’s finding the way back from Covid. I can go on.

@dlakelan well in my class, not 1. They are reading between a 1st and 3rd grade level.

Saltssaltgirl,
@Saltssaltgirl@mas.to avatar

@dlakelan the test scores have been low for some time. Standardized tests take away actual learning time.

Going down a rabbit hole in Mastodon isn't as scary as some would think.
I have found some of the funniest, smartest, and kindest people while scrolling.

Hearing, “the world is a better place since you came into my life” by someone who has nothing to gain by saying it, is a wonderful feeling.

I grabbed this photo a few minutes ago. The clouds have already changed. We are under a tornado watch for the next hour.
