Once again Anthony D’Esposito is taking marching orders from MAGA GOP leadership in Washington and selling out New Yorkers by protecting George Santos and keeping him in Congress.

@post_professor @alexjallot I wondered this, as well. The minute all those return envelopes were notes to be invalid, they should have held another vote. How many schools didn’t have their votes tallied at all? Everything has felt very sketchy with the Unity caucus.

[Ms. M-T @Kto2Science]

@PrettyGirlCase @Mssarahmssarah I voted no, as did all of my colleagues I am friends with. This contract further divides our membership. I would love to see numbers.

[MORE-UFT @MOREcaucusUFT]

Currently, @UFT is refusing to respond to our request until after the vote count - so the only way to get this information is to put some pressure on officials to do the right thing!

Worried your vote on the @UFT contract might have gotten lost on the mail with the debacle of multiple incorrect return labels? 

Email [email protected] and ask him to respond our executive board reps’ request to allow AAA to publish the # of ballots returned from every school.

[Ms. M-T @Kto2Science]

Not all PO’s have self-service kiosks. They need to scrap this vote and go back to the negotiating table. The proposed MoA is abysmal.

[MORE-UFT @MOREcaucusUFT]

The fiasco of the contract election continues. @UFT is seemingly giving new instructions on a daily basis. Everything is too rushed + chaotic, as we argued initially; this isn’t how @UFT members should feel about a document that will dictate their livelihood for years to come!

[NYC Organization of Public Service Retirees @NycRetirees]

Thank you @JamaalBowmanNY let’s do this together and change this horrible federal statute that allows for “seamless transition” into Medicare advantage! @FDNYchic we shouldn’t help privatize Medicare and enrich Aetna with taxpayer money at the expense of @nycretirees & Americans

[MORE-UFT @MOREcaucusUFT]

An excellent 90 second explanation for why the new @UFT contract is worthy of a No Vote this week:

[Jonathan @Jd2718x]

The #UFT tentative agreement - not an easy call (though I don’t vote)

pay is REALLY lousy - but alone not enough to choose

Lack of clarity on upcoming health care cuts tips the scales - I recommnd a No Vote

Caveat to all @UFT members

[Ms. M-T @Kto2Science]

Voting NO! The raises are abysmal, there is still no equity for fostering/adopting members, finally fixing wrongs with two UFT parents shouldn’t be a bargaining chip, and family engagement should always been offered remotely, so few families can meet at 2:30pm.

[MORE-UFT @MOREcaucusUFT]

How are YOU planning to vote on the @UFT contract? Why?

[Ms. M-T @Kto2Science]

@MOREcaucusUFT @UFT No! We deserve so so much more!

[Ms. M-T @Kto2Science]

@DaveUnderground @UFT More equitable parental leave, greater than 10% raise, and better dental coverage are top of my list.

The Municipal Labor Committee has diminished health care for retirees, and now they're coming for us. Rank and file get no vote or voice in their decisions. They ought to serve us, rather than Eric Adams. MLC--What Is It Good For? https://t.co/c1NkmjaKGs

@Mssarahmssarah We are super lucky to have two Counseling in Schools mental health providers at my elementary school. I know Safe Horizons is helping one of our students who experienced family violence en route to the US.

[Ms. M-T @Kto2Science]

@rachel_erin_c @ashleyrullestad @JayWamsted I answer their questions and my k-2 students get so excited to learn there’s lots of ways to parent and care for/love kids as family.

[Ms. M-T @Kto2Science]

@rachel_erin_c @ashleyrullestad @JayWamsted ❤️! I went from being single to becoming a parent to a 7 and 8 year old in 18 months and my students were also confused. 4 years later, my kids are 11, 12, and 9. (Step/bonus parent and recent foster parent). I get questions on the daily.

[Ms. M-T @Kto2Science]

@Mssarahmssarah I use a medical grade HEPA filter I received through a hydroponics grant prior to 2020 and maintain it myself with my own funds. My intellipure hasn’t been maintained since being placed in my room. They mean windows when they say natural ventilation. Mine are open, heat=cranked.

[Ms. M-T @Kto2Science]

@kelwalk12 to “support” with the exact same requirements or modifications for all. I assist my students’ literacy in class the same as I support at home. My two oldest are not ELLs, but middle kid has an IEP that includes AIS in reading and audio book pairing is a game changer for him.

[Ms. M-T @Kto2Science]

@kelwalk12 My oldest used one or the other, as his brain tracks much faster than audio and when we tried speeding the audio, it became too distracting. I have a common branches 1-6 and am working on a School Library Info Science Masters. When supporting students, it makes zero sense to me..
