I had high hopes for Sec Cardona when he was appointed. Sadly he’s been like a toxic positivity kinda guy since he started.

But this? He hit the mail on the head! Teachers are paid crap salaries because we’re not respected, & neither is anything related to education anymore!

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

We aren’t going to address teacher shortage challenges without paying teachers what they are worth, treating them with respect and providing them the supports to be successful.

American Rescue Plan funds can help states and districts do that.

It cannot be that teachers are worth nothing and simultaneously are the answers to everything. Stop demanding schools solve all of society's problems.

What a misogynist mess.

@Larryferlazzo 2 of my newcomers signed up for summer school this year. Then I found out they’d need to take the bus
BY THEMSELVES
FOR OVER AN HOUR
IN PHILLY.
They’re rising 8th & 9th graders!
Their parents pulled them out. It was sad, but I definitely don’t blame them.

I'm surprised that so many people think caring for students and creating a positive learning environment means that educators are not focused on academic success. They actually go hand in hand. Students learn better in positive and safe spaces & with people who care about them.

Just 6 yrs ago I gained the strength to share my immigrant story.

Ss don't have to wait till they're adults to realize the power our story holds - provide spaces & time for stories to shine. #storiesMatter

I’d argue that this is why we need more teachers that are bilingual or former ELs!

@clare_luebbert mine too! 😂😂

Instead of hosting a birthday fundraiser this year, I'm asking people to help #clearthelist for my ESOL class. I'd like to use these things with my K-8 kids to not only teach them English skills but also help them develop a love of reading... 1/2
