Miami Educator

Miami Educator is a publication of Rank & File educators of Miami Dade, and autonomous group of union MDCPS educators engaged in organizing and direct action

[Miami Educator @MiamiEducator]

We, the Rank-and-File Educators of Miami Dade (RFEMD), reject the latest tentative agreement by @UTD_AFT1974. A 0.57%- 0.76% base pay raise for instructional, & 0% base pay raise to other bargaining unit members is unacceptable and insulting. https://t.co/ItnSc7BcSF

The Freedom Foundation is funding the Miami-Dade Education Coalition, a fake group that will roll back worker protections, cut our benefits, and push a right-wing agenda. Learn more at https://t.co/NbAybS2AYd and tell employees of #MDCPS to join #UTD today to save their contract.

Why is the Florida Department of education trying to gaslight TEACHERS on what the state standards are? Do they think we can’t read them?

“We [@moms4Libros] are parents as well, and our children have the right to receive a COMPREHENSIVE public education, not one full of limitations because of one persons hurt feelings or ignorance. They don't understand that children have rights too…” read the full article ⬇️

@RyLazChi @kourtneelynne @POTUS Tell me you’ve never been a teacher without telling me you’ve never been a teacher.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

When teachers make more money working their side hustles than they do teaching, it means that society sees teaching as a hobby and not a career, or that because teaching is 78% female and we don’t value the work of women, or… both.

@onteria @BalconyPlant @ShelleyJo890 Most people with loans are on this track and work in the non-profit world/education/public service.

[American Association of University Professors @AAUP]

Ron DeSantis plotted an all-out assault on public universities:

Records show FL's governor drafted plans to strip autonomy from individual universities & colleges, centralize power in Tallahassee, & impose more restrictions on what students are taught.

@EducationFL @JuddLegum You’re trying to teach students about “communism” but you won’t teach children about the real AMERICAN HISTORY. Why?

[Farron Cousins @farronbalanced]

My wife may end up getting fired from her teaching job (as a special education teacher in Florida) because a parent has accused her of teaching “critical race theory.” I’m trying to keep it together but my blood is boiling.

[Miami Educator @MiamiEducator]

With the teacher and overall educator shortage we have and no solutions in sight, what do you think education will look like in 5, 10 years?

[Nikki Fried @NikkiFried]

As governor, I will say gay. I will say bi, trans, lesbian, queer. Because love is love and you are you. 🏳️‍🌈

[Miami Educator @MiamiEducator]

@changeiwanttoc Do you follow it tho? No one can stand for 8 hours a day with no break. That’s not doable.

[Miami Educator @MiamiEducator]

@_ashawndabney Should American history be taught in American schools? Yes.

@TODAYshow @HeidiNBC They’ll do anything except properly Fund schools and pay teachers a living wage. 🥴

This is the story of failed leadership and the road to 1 million expired COVID-19 tests. Chapters 1-4:

[Daniella Levine Cava @MayorDaniella]

I know many are unable to leave their homes to get tested for COVID-19, and worried they have it.

That’s why Miami-Dade County is now offering at-home testing for homebound residents.

Monday - Friday from 8:30 am - 5 pm

[Andrew Weinstein @AWeinstein]

The fact that Florida has reported a 1,000% increase in Covid cases over the last two weeks and yet there’s still not a single state sponsored testing facility should really be a much bigger story.
