Why is @alamodrafthouse putting all the fun shows on Staten Island? No one wants to go over the Verrazano for a movie…

We continue to firmly stand against the proposal to expand corporate charter schools in New York. We'll keep working to ensure that – like "fetch" – it doesn't happen. #CharterSchoolsDivideUs

Over the last 10 years, @JetBlue has gone from my favorite domestic airline to one that I will now avoid at all costs.

We've always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, play, & classes like Music, Art, Physical Education.But they have been taken away or reduced to spend more time on testing, & then we wonder why students lack social/ emotional skills & misbehavior that comes with lack of it.

Standardized testing, especially in elementary level is not only a massive waste of time and money, but has little to no impact on student learning.

Teachers, want to take something off your plate? Put HW in the trash. Especially for elementary, let students go home, run, play, and enjoy being a child. And read a little after playing. Then they come to school recharged instead of stressed out and you will too!

All over NYS school districts are releasing 2023-2024 calendars this week. When will @NYCSchools @DOEChancellor @NYCMayor let NYC families know our school calendar?? Help families plan ahead for childcare!

Young voters are breaking 3-1 for Dems. No generation has been this progressive or politically engaged in American history.

A look at what youth voter turnout has gotten us:

@TishJames #TeamTish all the way!

When you want to be happy that your HS classmate is running for governor but you can’t vote for him because he has promised to take away the rights of women, uphold racist policies, and dismantle public education. #NotZeldin

[Katie Mark @MissusMark]

This is how he wants to win an election? Disgusting. https://t.co/IAJk4gBqnJ via @gothamist
