Middle School, Middle Level- these are the people who guide the boys who have to jump as high as they can on every doorway. The girls who are figuring out what to carry in their purse. The ones who call eveyone “bruh” and “bro” every day and as generically as possible. The ones who will -probably- work for a single Starburst, or any type of food… The ones who still need recess every day even if the school doesn’t schedule it, because kinetic energy is still all over the place… when they act awake after 9am. The ones who can change the smell of a room in 3.5 seconds. The ones who are too cool and are too silly- within five minutes and back again. The ones who sometimes have the self-control of a gnat, and then have startlingly profound awareness. The ones who are both mean and kind on the same day. The ones whose brains are neuro-organizing all the files in new places and they forget everything and all their stuff. The ones whose energy could power the world, just like Monsters Inc. The ones who take a special kind of teacher to *get* them. They’re not just smaller high schoolers. Hats 🎩 Off to the Middle Level Educators.

Rome WAS built in a day. Better EARLY than never. The LESS the merrier. These don’t quite flow off the tongue. But if we change them Ever so slightly They become normal again. High School is a bit like a cliché. We’ve been doing it the same way for a long time. If we change one word, And give it a little time, it makes sense again and becomes the norm. What if we changed a few things about what high school has been To be what it can be? #education #concurrentenrollment #dualenrollment #collegeinhighschool P. S.

I've worked in all kinds of schools in my career, but this story is one that reveals how informed practices can live in charter settings - and can fuel an excitement among teachers - but not without the heavy hand of compliance pushing them aside. Charter schools do not need to be spaces where kids and teachers are controlled - with the fear of poor test results as the driving force in their existence. When a system ranks schools and teachers, they accept and EMBRACE failure, and with it attracts the Monkey McBeans (reference Dr.. Suess) who close down schools by ripping their stars off their chests - "for just $10M+ eaches" - and open new ones for more dollars "eaches." Follow the money, my friends. Too many charters are a feast for non-educators to bask in the trough of public funds. Leaders in and of charters - there are options - ones steeped in solid educational research. The kids in charters deserve a quality education - not one that can be reduced to a bar code or dashboard of numbers. Why so much compliance demanded of the charter school student population? Food for thought?
