Autism mom and sped teacher. Inclusion isn’t a program- it’s a right. I also love swimming, running, and drinking a Diet Coke before yoga 🧘‍♀️

@DrTeeeee @dcpublicschools @MayorBowser @DCPSChancellor @WTUTeacher Yup. I get it. And unfortunately I’m went until I was totally burned out. I taught self contained and just couldn’t take it anymore- not the kids but the lack of support. I didn’t listen to myself- for so long. Then I had a panic attack at work.
I’m mourning it. Trust me.

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@DrTeeeee @dcpublicschools @MayorBowser @DCPSChancellor @WTUTeacher Yup! Sounds like what we had

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@NBCNews I don’t have the stomach to watch it. Prayers for that young man and everyone around him.

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@DrTeeeee @dcpublicschools @MayorBowser @DCPSChancellor @WTUTeacher When you say dropping do you mean calling out sick or quitting? I’m the 3rd at my school to resign but I wonder how things are playing out across the district.

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@jenniferejoness No.

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@ScottPalmer61 No

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@MagisterBracey It’s not. I’m on FMLA and likely won’t be able to return. It’s too much- and not getting better

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@ExamineBaseball @Learnadvocate @AnnieTangent To me it’s not about credit. It’s about division of labor. The original poster blamed a teacher, who didn’t want a vaccine, for a management problem- staffing. That’s not how this works

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@ExamineBaseball @Learnadvocate @AnnieTangent Then I’d still say it’s a structural failure. Why are teachers quitting- not joining the profession? I agree that no one can produce teachers out of thin air- but they are responsible for the reasons schools are understaffed.

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@ExamineBaseball @AnnieTangent 💯 and this is more a system failure. It likely wasn’t a surprise to anyone that teacher wouldn’t take vaccine. While I understand the impact it has- it’s an admin failure

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

The vast majority of folks with student debt are working-class people. The rich simply do not have student debt — again, they're rich. We've asked, but nobody has been able to find this magical multi-millionaire with $35k in student loans.

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@EThorntonGHS Agreed. And we are still being evaluated like it’s 2019. That’s a huge stressor.

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@A_Math_Teacher A district nearby did work to rule. They only work contract hours. That’s all it would take

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@Roushketeer1 I teach in DC public schools

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@EDUwithEmily I wonder if there are teachers without side hustles? 😉 I teach swim lessons and kids yoga. It’s so great to be around kids and families without the pressure of testing

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@SecCardona Does anyones letter say your loans are done? I qualified for ten payments (consolidated late) then tonight’s email said I qualify for an additional 112. To my math, that puts me over the top. But they didn’t come out & say it

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@StrikeDebt Lies I tell. I made the cut- even though when I called they said I didn’t.
I want everyone to experience this. The fight goes on

[Autism_mamma22 @AMamma22]

@StrikeDebt Nope. Didn’t have federal loans.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Good morning. There’s power in withholding your labor. It’s your right.
