Tell me again how important all those learning gaps are if we are not taking care of the socio-emotional + mental health needs of all of the kids. Room for connection, joy, rest, creativity, fun. We can't do anything w/o this, and we see the consequences if we don't. (we=schools)
I think the most frustrating part for me about being a teacher right now is that the school system is like, “You need to change everything about what you do.”
And when we’re like, “Can you maybe change a little bit to help us?”
They’re like, “Lol. Don’t be stupid.”

@GovPhilScott I understand this is difficult but it is WRONG not to vaccinate teachers now. They all deserve protection AND an unqualified show of support #VTed#bsdvt
Good idea! "We should take a page from the Japanese tidying expert Marie Kondo the curriculum, discarding the many topics that have accumulated like old souvenirs, while retaining essential knowledge ..topics that spark joy." https://t.co/kGoGAkFXGZ
