#mapoli, I see we’re getting the “we passed a state budget that funded a third year of the historic Student Opportunity Act” social media posts.
While those legislative votes were unanimous, #MAEdu, don’t you ever forget who *led* that effort…

#Ukraine In Kharkiv, a chimpanzee escaped from a zoo. It was walking around the city while zoo employees tried to convince it to return. Suddenly it started to rain, and the ape ran to a zoo employee for a jacket and then agreed to return to the zoo.

We repeatedly told @DrOz that we had pre-made veggie trays..excuse me “Crudité”…in the deli starting at $5.99. $7.99 with guacamole and salsa. Vote @JohnFetterman!
True for college teachers/students too. Thanks @AvashiaNeema

Just spent 10 minutes watching video of 1990 Johannesburg bc my 11yo came home with the young reader version of @Trevornoah ‘s Born a Crime and he’s ‘pretty sure the picture the media has put in his head of South Africa is wrong and he just needs a visual.’ Thank you teachers. ❤️

Which is to say, some people in Boston get paid more to sit in cars at construction sites than others do to feed and care for our students who need the highest levels of support. Our values in this city are absolutely fucked.
"Among the lowest-paid city employees...are teaching assistants, paraprofessionals, cafeteria workers, and custodians. Many of these employees work for less than $20,000 in base pay, and far more work for less than $30,000 in base pay." boston.com/news/local-news/2…
This is real. It’s real for K-12 and 13-17 (aka college).

My kids are involved with YES-it's been amazing, specifically for my 14 year old during remote learning. She is SO excited for this space even though she knows it probably won't be done while she's still in HS-she's excited for all the kids who will get to use it in the future.

#ELECTtheBSC Statement: Hiring and determining the tenure of a Superintendent is one of the most important functions of a School Committee. In the other 350 municipalities in MA those School Committees are elected. Bostonians deserve that same democratic oversight. #bospoli

Congratulations to the City Champion Swim Team! bostonherald.com/2022/02/03/…
Melinda’s awesome science teacher + other amazing faculty and staff at BLA lost their supplies/classrooms to a burst pipe this weekend. Help getting a working classroom going again would be greatly appreciated and f you feel inclined.
Over the MLK wknd a pipe froze/burst completely destroying the contents of five classrooms and one office.
I’m asking my fellow Dragons to pitch in so that these five teachers and one guidance counselor can quickly replace some of their lost items.

“I think the tragedy is that we have a Congress with a Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.“ - MLK
59 years later, we are facing the same tragedy.
I stand with the MA students walking out of school in protest of the unsafe working and learning conditions. Trust students. Trust teachers. @BSACbuzz
Students across the Boston Public Schools system are planning to walk out of class this morning to urge officials to provide remote learning options and stronger COVID-19 safety measures. trib.al/YZcUppo

Seriously, people who tell undergrads they can’t use the first person in essays, who are you? And why do you do this?

A wild thought a colleague just shared. Covid absences are, quite obscenely, showing our public school kids the class sizes they deserve 😳
9 kids! 12 kids! 15 kids! (Not 34!)

There is no logical reason to hold mid year exams during a surge in COVID. 25-40% of students are out. Symptomatic students WILL come to school during testing b/c they care about their grades. The data will be unreliable. Cancel the exams. Please sign!
