I don’t know who needs to here this but the answer to the age old question “How do we ensure all kids are proficient in all subjects” isn’t “buy more curriculum every six years!!” It’s: Attract and retain deeply knowledgeable, highly skilled, expert teachers.
Hey @cleanh2oaction, I tried to send y'all honest feedback on the canvasser who came to my home tonight but I keep getting this message without any info to help me correct it. I promise I'm not spamming.
Here’s my spring appreciation thread for small town New England government. I got to spend some time this week with a neighboring (ish) town’s Finance Committee. Here’s the thing about spring in small town New England:
Congratulations to those of you who have been reading SARS2 science for the past 4 years, on achieving your Bachelor of COVID degree. 🎓
This is what's wild to me. True even at the MA state policy level, where the Commissioner WILL NOT HEAR of remote learning for snow days, but somehow keeps re-upping the virtual schools.

Whenever I admit I am concerned they tell me that I need to get a grip and I wish I knew how to explain to them that the reason why I am concerned is because I have not lost my grip on my humanity.
Here at the beginning of the pandemic’s fifth year we have finally succeeded in flattening the curve though unfortunately we have chosen to flatten it against the y-axis.
So every vulnerable, disabled, or otherwise covid sensible person has reached the end of their tether this week, huh?
You can think of wearing an N95 in public as awkward, or you can think of it as powerful. I’m not just protecting myself, I’m being a walking reminder that at least one person thinks the space is hazardous enough to wear a respirator. That absolutely plants seeds.
🧵 I think @jonfavs and others don't understand. THIS is how Long Covid happens in the vast majority of cases (including mine): 1. Someone has a relatively mild infection, is not hospitalized, feels "normal" in a couple of weeks, at most.
100%. On a related topic, I would typically be doing snow-themed classroom activities in December but thanks to climate change there is no white stuff in the forecast. Crossing my fingers that I'll get to use those activities in January.

The chronic absenteeism discussion in policy circles has jumped the shark. Kids aren’t absent from school because we lack the right carrots and sticks. Kids are absent from school because we haven’t done enough as a society to meet their basic needs.
One goal for educators is to avoid a situation where, as Lillian Weber once put it, most kids "begin school as an exclamation point and a question mark [but then] leave as a plain period."
1/ A real story of what happens when rigid GOP ideologies clash: I was sitting in the Education Committee today at the KY Capitol, listening to superintendents discuss what they need. There was a particularly poignant and revealing moment toward the end of that committee.
Pioneer Valley residents testify in favor of rural school aid bill recorder.com/Pioneer-Valley…
I will await the "schools should NEVER close" people advocating for gun control.
I can't overstate what an important moment this is for rural schools in Massachusetts. More information is at ruralschoolsma.org.

Just a reminder that public schools are for the public. The whole public. To borrow some of my own words, "When one group’s “rights” require the marginalization, othering, or outright erasure of members of our community they do not belong in public school."

Tennessee Republicans just cut off debate and passed a bill to arm teachers in our schools. The public chanted “Blood on your hands!” as the Speaker ordered troopers to clear the gallery. This is what fascism looks like.

There are plenty of people who have never taught who make important contributions to education policy. But there is no place at the table for those who actually do the work. I can't think of another area of policymaking that does this. It's bizarre.

You can give me 20 school vouchers...it doesn't matter. The only "choice" I have is a Catholic School 56 miles away. There is no choice in rural America. Stop the bullshit and fund our local public schools.
I hear this often, but it is wrong. I live in a town of 480 people. There is no market for a private school to come here. So our schools are defunded. I am not qualified to teach upper-level curriculum except literature. Homeschool is out. There is no choice in rural America.
@piper4missouri Schools will pop up once incentivized by vouchers. Also, homeschooling IS an option for most voucher programs. 👍🤌
