Barbara and Melissa Give Gregory Teaching Tips - Abbott Elementary

[@JiraiyaSanninPervySage]

Okay but Melissa’s and Barbara’s advice on the kids was super solid. But nobody’s talking about it

[@MentalStillness]

That's another reason why this is one of my favorite shows. Quinta has the writing ability to blend comedy and the drama of legitimate issues with public schools.

In college studying Arts Management (or nonprofit management focused on art), one of my professors would give exams this way: we all formed a circle at the front and tossed a ball around. The person who threw the ball asks a question about the given subject, and the catcher has to answer it. Goes around and around until everyone has either asked and answered a question. Seven years later it's the only course I really recall much anymore. Good job, Ms. Avila-Cortez!

100% they will ask those questions. If you answer “They are all boys”, they will ask why Hank only takes the boys. They will then ask if male turkeys and female turkeys taste the same. They might ask it they are free range turkeys or if Hank is married. Nothing is ever simple.

So for my kindergarten I would sing at times when teaching math. For third grade and up I would craft a story with them in it. It made them more invested because now they feel a part of the lesson.
