Distance learning has been tough. For me as a teacher, for my students, for my student’s families, it’s been a huge change that we’re all slowly adjusting to. I’ve had to learn to quiet my mind & focus on things that matter that are within my control.1/2 #HI4PublicEd #808Educate

@LeannaAgcaoili It’s my escape from all the craziness!

[Dulcy Dawson @dulcy_dianne]

My girl ⁦@MiliLaff⁩ telling her truth per usual. We are doing our best and holding out hope that this all serves to a much better future for us all. https://t.co/uE8aTKtQKe

@EAducator @ZacharyMorita @HIDOE808 @HIDOE808_DrK I’ve seen our CAS twice & Supt once at our school. But both times CAS was invited by me to attend our school science fair. Supt’s visit was nice. I appreciated that she came to visit on her own. But, as a leader, you need to be there for those you lead in the good & hard times.

Hey @HIDOE808 Ts! RT & reply if you might be interested in inviting & hosting @HIDOE808_DrK in your classrooms & schools next week during in-person student distance learning training! It’d be great for her to experience the plan she is asking Ts to carry out next week!#808educate

[Elizabeth Mahi @MsElizabethMahi]

@HIDOE808_DrK Would you care to take the time next week to visit classrooms & schools during in-person student distance learning training? I think it’d be great for you to experience these plans you & other @HIDOE808 leaders are asking schools & Ts to carry out next week!

[Elizabeth Mahi @MsElizabethMahi]

@ZacharyMorita @HIDOE808 @HIDOE808_DrK Couldn’t agree more! They need to see how their choices affect schools, teachers, and students!

@HSTAvoice Kaimuki Middle. 8/17-8/18 Virtual distance learning student training via Webex with homeroom teachers. 8/19-8/20 Start synchronous block distance learning schedule with Ss.

Dear @HIDOE808_DrK,

I have been a big advocate for your vision. Your statement just now about teachers broke my heart, because I believe in you, but you clearly don’t believe in us.

Signed,
A Teacher

[Dr. Erika Garcia Niles @flyingmonkey13]

I love kids unconditionally. That’s why I do what I do.

However, the further I get into leadership, the deeper I understand that the best way to love kids is to love teachers.

[Tyler Black, MD @tylerblack32]

So, maybe take a page out of the Dr. Black playbook:

"School doesn't matter right now, we need to focus on safety, security, and the things that will make you healthy"

THREAD: School closure and kids

I am an expert in child & adolescent EMERGENCY psychiatry. This is my expert opinion: It's complex, and it is not easy to answer

COVID = BAD
Education = GOOD
In person schooling in a deadly pandemic
= GOOD + BAD
