Im a veteran teacher and I agree 100%!!
I know veteran teachers might be unpersuadable on this point, but new teachers, listen up: The students listen to you better if they are in rows, facing you, the teacher.

Preach it Primo !!
Eight-time state-champion @SSBDwrestling coach Anthony Leon speaks to the fourth through eighth graders about the importance of gratitude at the Dragon Kim Foundation community event in which the youngsters attended classes that taught student agency and participated in wrestling instruction provided by some of the Blue Devils.

Priorities are in the wrong places
More defense spending? No debate. Massive tax breaks to billionaires? Not a problem! But when it comes to paying our teachers a fair wage, oh my – an impossible task. Give me a break.

Our state is spending $2 billion a year on tax cuts for the rich and $900 million on ESA vouchers -- while our public school teachers make salaries well below the national average and our school support staff earn poverty wages. The priorities are all out of whack.

Replying to @RealTomHorne
Are charter boards elected positions? Does the media (tv and/or written media) follow the Charter school boards the same or equivalent as property taxed districts? Do they offer a You Tube channel for their Charter School Board mtg?

While charter school founders are paying cash for a luxury home with Arizona’s public education funding, teachers are struggling to afford rent.

Never forget the goal of creating chaos in schools: privatization. They will defund your schools to create charters and private schools and funnel public tax money into private hands. They are transferring a public good into private hands for profit. It’s a scam.

One of the best deterrents for poor behavior is for students to see that the administration is totally supportive of their staff. When they see admin has their staff's back and everyone is on same page, it makes a big difference. Students know!
