The tone of the @BaltCitySchools Town Hall is so off: dismissive, even mocking the #MakeItMakeSense hashtag.
Let me be perfectly clear: it makes no sense to rush teachers back to a worse educational situation when the vaccine is waiting to be put in our arms. #StillNotSafe
It's hard for me to understand why students and staff need to risk their lives for grades to improve? Postpone schools reopening. #StillNotSafe#MakeItMakeSense
“We’re dealing with a surge of cases right now so it’s hard to staff both vaccine distribution and the hospitals”
Oh. Wait a minute. So close to the point, so close. #makeitmakesense#stillnotsafe
Distance learning CAN work.
Let’s work to improve the system we have while keeping our families safe, rather than force unvaccinated people into improperly ventilated, unclean buildings before our public health data improves!#MakeItMakeSense#StillNotSafe@BaltCitySchools
@BaltCitySchools why are we pushing to send students back in the middle of the most important Quarter and disrupting their routines instead of waiting until after Spring Break/Quarter 4? #MakeItMakeSense#StillNotSafe
“Before we close the show”
Ah André while this may be a show to you it’s my (and my fellow educators) life.
Words mean things and it’s clear where you stand.

How can teachers be expected to provide quality instruction both virtually and in person at the same time, while also dealing with the trauma of the pandemic and fears of losing students and loved ones to COVID? #MakeItMakeSense#StillNotSafe@BaltCitySchools
.@BaltCitySchools recognized that many students take public transportation to get to school. BCPSS cannot control social distancing/CDC protocol on public transport. How can students be asked to return when they can’t get to school safely? #MakeItMakeSense#StillNotSafe
It also kills me that the district has focused so much on the in-person learning sites that they have totally overlooked the PHENOMENAL instruction happening online. My colleagues are doing amazing things online and all of that feels wholly ignored #MakeItMakeSense#StillNotSafe
Like we knew all along, the so called @BaltCitySchools' "Equity Policy" was purely performative. Where is the true care for the lives of our city's kids, educators, and all of our families? #MakeItMakeSense#StillNotSafe
