So kids have to go to summer school for several weeks to make up “learning loss”....did anybody think about not testing and using those weeks for instruction, thereby freeing up the summer weeks? Asking for a friend.

I left Antioch HS today at 11:30 after helping to pack 400 boxes of food for distribution to those in need. As I left, I noticed there were already 75 cars lined up for distribution that doesn't begin until 1. Think about it. God bless

I think you have to be careful with this kind of tweet. It dismissed the challenges these past several years , painting them as tenable. Also infers that those who leave don’t love to teach. Both are disingenuous at best

There is so much that is so frustrating at the start of this school year, and so much has changed, what hasn’t changed is teachers’ willingness to go above and beyond, to work to set students up for success, often at their own personal expense.
