Don’t tell me that reducing class size won’t help student learning. Tell me you don’t want to pay for it. Tell me you don’t have the space. Tell me you don’t have the teachers. But don’t gaslight me. There’s a reason private schools cap class size. Every teacher knows it.

My school is on there!! Proud of the *many* MVA kids who participated today, including several Ss who talked to me about why they chose to participate.

Amazing how fast the government can ensure every child will have a standardized test to take this spring with no delivery issues expected, but couldn’t support states and cities with adequate COVID testing capacity, vaccines, and tech/internet for all kids who need it.

💛💛💛

Teaching remotely has reinforced my belief that internet should be a public utility. Lack of access to proper wifi/internet should not be a reason my students fall behind.

In the past week, I’ve introduced several people to @desmos AB. The JOY on their faces and in their texts as they realize how magnificent it is ... 😁🥰

“I’ve never thought of mathematicians as lazy, but it seems like they only care about creating shortcuts to save time.” - Student discussing @DrEugeniaCheng response to Gracie Cunningham TikTok 😂😂😂

Please. Stop. Bashing. Teachers. On. Social. Media. We. Are. Doing. Our. Best :)))))

Let’s say these 2000 teachers get an assignment/program by Friday (which seems unlikely). They then have one weekend to prepare to start teaching on Monday??

So sure, I’ll “volunteer” to do triple the work because I want my kids to have the support they need. @MOREcaucusUFT @UFT #nycdoe #uft

Yep. How easily they manipulate Ts b/c we care about our kids. I haven’t been paired with a virtual T, I haven’t seen any lessons created by the “content specialists” that @NYCSchools is supposedly hiring. I do not trust that will be beneficial for my Ss.

NYC teachers - what is your school's plan for students during teachers' 30-minute "virtual collaboration" time in the morning? Where do Ss go between arrival and classes starting? Who is supervising them? #nycdoe #uft #nycschools @MOREcaucusUFT

not sure if most people realize that in many NYC schools even “in-person schooling” actually just means remote learning on school grounds. has this been made clear to parents and students who are risking their safety to come in? @MOREcaucusUFT

I totally get that it’s different and that many parents have math anxiety already, which makes it even harder when they can’t understand their kid’s work. But like, trust us on this one. We’re really trying to help develop the conceptual understanding you missed out on!!

As a longtime proponent of outdoor learning, "I would never have imagined receiving Mayor Bill de Blasio’s outdoor learning plan with such bitterness," writes @lynnshon, a middle school science teacher in Brooklyn.

PSA: If you’re upset(rightly- it’s upsetting!) that schools may not be able to open in Sept., turn your attn to the people w/ actual power to fund schools, empower stakeholders and set policy— @NYCMayor @NYGovCuomo got us here, not teachers & principals demanding basic safety.

Looking forward to the release of my newest book: Teach Like a Person Stuck in Limbo as the Powers That Be Keep Balking on Making a Decision That Should Just Be Virtual Learning
