@DCDGS My school has been reporting a leak in my classroom all year. My floor is soaking wet every time it rains and don't get me started on the smell. Today my class had to evacuate bc raining from the ceiling. How many more people will come take "pictures" before it is fixed?

I can’t even imagine what would happen if teachers and school staffs only worked their contractual hours, only fulfilled their contractual duties and only used the resources their schools provided.

BREAKING: Joe Biden has been elected the 46th president of the United States, according to the AP — narrowly beating President Trump after a turbulent race. More here: https://t.co/Ulpk1kSqOc

The @TODAYshow series, “Mental Health & America’s Kids,” featured Ms. Nguyen's class at @VanNessDCPS! Through social emotional learning, Ms. Nguyen says, "We're really teaching our students how to be good people. We're teaching the whole child."

THREAD: School will look different next year. Oddly, one component of instruction that people are working hard to maintain is “live lectures”. Not only are they an ineffective way to deliver content, but they are uniquely inaccessible to kids with limited resources. 1/2
