@daveschmittou Easy. Movies and kickball offer far more educational opportunities than state testing.

@eduleadership It’s not a school problem. It’s an addiction problem. A scan of all the discipline incidents in schools clearly reveals that kids do not have the executive functioning to contend with the neuroscience and marketing behind the devices. Most adults don’t either.

@eduleadership I’d support a law treating cell phones like cigarettes, guns, and driving cars. Minors should not be in possession of cell phones.

@Mathgarden @DDSBSchools @DDSB_712Math @DunbartonDHS Wouldn’t it be inspiring if we could read about what to expect in the course, what we might learn, and why we might want to be in the class?

@ShiftParadigm It's counterproductive. Period. Unless the school is in the business of denying diplomas.

Should this cause alarm? #divergentthink

@howie_hua Learning math requires a linear curricular path.

[Chris Balogh @PrincipalBalogh]

I'll always be on board with a free education. BUT- why is it compulsory? Let's rethink it.

[Chris Balogh @PrincipalBalogh]

@SelenaCarrion Sounds like what an ideal employer/school/district would embody.

Don't post pictures of your kid's report card. #parenting #school

@msmtchnk All I can immediately think of is a big virtual hug. Keep breathing. Take care of yourself.

Without a diploma, our youth are 8X more likely to be incarcerated. Sticking with local graduation standards this year is going to fuel the school to prison pipeline, increase the gap (all of them), and, in general, be a huge disservice to our communities.

[Chris Balogh @PrincipalBalogh]

In CA, 130 credits are required for a high school diploma; districts can add whatever they want on top of that. During this time of #schoolclosures and #COVID19 why are district still requiring the extra?

[Chris Balogh @PrincipalBalogh]

While schools and teachers have been going over the top, we are still not offering the same opportunities pre-closure. If we can't deliver to the same level (sports, clubs, activities, in person instruction) how can we demand the same level from our students?

[Chris Balogh @PrincipalBalogh]

@NRA Wait... Do criminals follow any laws? What are you suggesting?

[Cult of Pedagogy @cultofpedagogy]

What I'm hearing a lot of today is that teachers in distance learning situations are struggling to meet the needs of students who receive special ed, RTI, or ELL services and students who read below grade level. Please share any resources you have for these concerns.

[CA Department of Education @CADeptEd]

To reduce the strain on students, families and educators during the COVID-19 outbreak, @CAgovernor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order today to waive, pending federal approval, this year’s statewide testing for California’s more than 6 million students in K-12 schools.
