Extended School Year (ESY) program for students with disabilities begins in a month, yet @fcpsnews is short a special education teacher for one out of four classes, and they're still missing half the paraprofessionals they need.

1 of the reasons I fell in love with education reporting is just the sheer complexity & importance.
Everything that is (&isn’t) happening in our schools impacts everything else for decades — the economy, workforce, criminal justice, etc.
How do we keep failing children this badly

Something I’ve noticed in these students’ testimony is they’re not only asking for help, they’re offering solutions.
“Our expectations are not that high … We are simply asking for an investment in our mental health and social workers. By investing, I mean long term investments”

Two months and two days after a shooting at Magruder High, a student was found with a BB gun at the school today. A BB gun was also recovered at Walter Johnson High today. bethesdamagazine.com/bethesd…

Striking decreases in Kindergarten readiness in Maryland, where PreK was mostly-virtual.
Declines most pronounced for Black children.

Going to see more articles like this. This is what we were saying all along. This is why I supported the #UrgencyOfNormal and the work of @drlucymcbride @MSmelkinsonPhD @JeanneNoble18 washingtonpost.com/education…

1/2 @MCPS mom sends her daughters to Sierra Leone for in-person school after major frustrations with remote learning for over one year, never making it off the waitlist for in person school in spring ‘21, & constant quarantines in the fall. thesentinel.com/communities/…

🚨BREAKING: The mask mandate will end for MCPS — Maryland’s largest school district — effective immediately. Vote was unanimous.
TogetherAgainMCPS retweeted
Ahead of the Montgomery County school board's expected vote tomorrow to lift the district's mask mandate, MCEA (the teachers union that represents abut 14,000 educators) tells me in a statement it "agrees" with the move.

While the student member of @mocoboe should not be bullied, that position should not be immune from criticism. Maybe it’s an argument that a student should not be eligible to be elected to an adult position responsible for spending billions of dollars.

These pictures represent six emotional expressions: happy, fearful, disgust, sadness, anger, & a neutral facial expression.
Can you tell which one is which?
The eye movements for disgust, sadness, & anger are quite similar, making it difficult to differentiate them with masks.

Regardless of much how I disagree with what Ms. O’Looney said, I am SMH about the idiots who are mocking the young lady based on her name. I can only assume & hope that those people don’t have kids of their own. If you’re one of those people, now is the time to delete your reply.

Picked up my son Tanner from his private school today. First thing he said: “Mom! It was a great day!” Me: “What happened buddy?” Him: “We are going mask optional as of Monday!!” The joy on his face was indescribable! Thank you @ADWCathSchools for allowing my son this joy!

Thank you to @RebeccaOnBoard & @KarlaSilves_BOE for supporting #maskchoice !! Thank you for supporting a return to normalcy for our kids and recognizing that parents need to be able to choose what is right for their own children! And for teachers/staff to make their own choice!

ADW letter. Mask optional in Maryland Feb 21 (but "transition week" to let schools stay stupid another week if they want).
Complying with Bowser, masks on in DC.
Still following insane quarantine guidance.
Gratuitous lie about "every effort" to be open last year.
