@BklynBridgeNYC Absolutely vile

@david_sivella Hold on a second. West Virginia?!? Now it’s all making so much more sense

@nicolegelinas The reason why great cities like New York are so expensive is that so many people can afford to live there!

@zagrebbi The Malcolm Gladwell chapter of Outliers (The Matthew Effect) details this phenomenon really well. Great read and super consequential for the younger kids

@sfmcguire79 Barnard’s president is a Harvard Law alum and a brilliant attorney and legal theorist — of course this is how it’s going

@jessegenet One of them won a PULITZER! and 20 of them hold patents, among many other insane achievements

@InezFeltscher Inez, all of those assets matter, obviously. Yet the only ethical stance is one in which educators do all they can to provide support the to children who need it. Either we think teachers can change lives and outcomes or we don’t. I think the profession can and does.

@boazbaraktcs A Pulitzer Prize winner and inventors who produced more than 20 patents?!?! Amazing ROI

@InezFeltscher And yet we strive…

@jayvanbavel @NYMag What a case for accelerated math instruction. The math literacy of the author and editors was so (apparently) inadequate that they fundamentally misinterpret research — and then cite the error as validation LOL

[Donalda Chumney @DonaldaChumney]

@lenibriscoe @read_naveed Agree profoundly. Anyone with any knowledge of this industry whatsoever knows that @NYCMayor is just saying lots of nice words with his PR machine

@NYMag What a heap of stale garbage. A wasted opportunity to actually write something fresh and meaningful.
