I have a student with a severe peanut/cashew allergy. As an educator, I'm required by law to protect that student. No matter I love peanut butter, that it's my religion to eat it daily, I can't have nuts in my classroom. Period.Same with masks--if it protects one child, we do it.

As governor, Chris Christie called NJ public schools “failure factories” the same year they were ranked among the best in the nation.

America doesn't de-escalate. It normalizes. School shootings were something unthinkable. Now, children prepare for them as part of their curriculum. What happened yesterday was unthinkable, and now it will be a concern every election. This doesn't go away when Trump does.

Was told by my mother (a teacher) to do anything but teaching. I’m a teacher.

The pandemic not only revealed how broken the education system is and has been, but also that it has only functioned (as long as it has) due to exploitation, unpaid labor and sacrifices of educators and staff. #schoolsreopening #teachers

We have to stop talking about what is politically feasible and start doing what is scientifically necessary.
