  1. amalia – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner) –

  4. Ashley – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner) –

    I think some of this information is stuff we know and some is new stuff.

  5. Tracy – CLEBURNE ISD (verified owner) –

    Great thoughts about why boredom occurs and how unique it is in each individual.

  6. Carisa – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    I think she was a bit condescending in her approach. She seems above everyone. I think some of her ideals are not compatible with K-2. Int hose grades, predictability is what gets most students through the day. When schedules or routines and procedures are broken, behaviors start, and they can’t stay focused. I can see how some structured built-in choice is beneficial for some students, but it cannot be for all and the same routines and procedures need to be in place,

  7. Maria – PHARR-SAN JUAN-ALAMO ISD (verified owner) –
