#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!

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…

#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

“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.

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!

The “it’s your problem, not mine” school of governing is exactly what this moment in the #COVID19 pandemic doesn’t need — but that seems to be all @MassGovernor Baker is capable of offering right now, writes Heshan Berents-Weeramuni (@wheresmyporsche). trib.al/sU26CsK
