These congresspeople sound like disappointed teachers talking to their class after the sub leaves a bad report

[Erika Sanzi @esanzi]

Terrible tone from @GovRaimondo today on schools.

Condescending. Dismissive.

She shamed superintendents.

Putting aside the very complicated and fraught opening/closing question, that tone felt way out of line.

Anyone have the shortened clip? @TedNesi @AnitaBaffoni

[Ms. Sousa @cssteaching]

@GregSullivanHN @FRPSsupt @frps_durfee Love to see it! Even better to see Desmarais leading the school

[Ms. Sousa @cssteaching]

So we can’t have gatherings of more than 15 people for Labor Day but in two weeks we can have classrooms with 29 students for 6 hours a day? Some RI classrooms have so many students that there aren’t enough desks. Why the rush? #safereturntoschoolri

[Ms. Sousa @cssteaching]

The real kicker here will be when they fix the systems and make our schools safe and we realize the money has actually been there all along #safereturntoschoolri

[Ms. Sousa @cssteaching]

Gonna be a rude awakening when the Gov and and her team inspect schools. Most school HVAC systems are not ready and don’t have the space to properly distance. #safereturntoschoolri

[Safe Schools RI @safereturnRI]

No matter what @GovRaimondo announces today, reopening has been so poorly managed that there is no #safereturntoschoolri for students or school staff at this point. Even our DL option has been undermined. @RIDeptEd @AInfanteGreen @RIHEALTH and all of RI should be ashamed

You know what, @GovRaimondo, I'm not afraid. I'm furious. I'm furious that schools have become the be-all and end-all of social services for children. Address that, so we can return safely! #safereturntoschoolRI

@StevenMicropen1 @GovRaimondo This you?

[Ms. Sousa @cssteaching]

@GovRaimondo It is SO unfair for you to say Warwick schools “threw in the towel” and “gave up on kids”. They weighed all the options for ALL students and staff and did what was best for kids to learn and stay healthy #safereturntoschoolRI

[Ms. Sousa @cssteaching]

@StevenMicropen1 @hausmananderson @safereturnRI @GovRaimondo So because you suffer an injustice, other people should too? Don’t you want better for our kids if it’s possible?

[Ms. Sousa @cssteaching]

@EmilyPetro22 @FauskeTappe @safereturnRI @GovRaimondo Just sprinkling in some sarcasm 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Ms. Sousa @cssteaching]

@EmilyPetro22 @FauskeTappe @safereturnRI @GovRaimondo Good question Emily! I’m going to encourage you to use those critical thinking skills to try and remember what classrooms look like, what school infrastructure is like in R.I., and why these two added together make returning to schools a dangerous choice.

[Ms. Sousa @cssteaching]

@EmilyPetro22 @FauskeTappe @safereturnRI @GovRaimondo Uh... because schools aren’t open?

[Ms. Sousa @cssteaching]

@imwalrus2 I’ve had it happen in situations where I’ve had enough composure to shrug it off. It does sting a bit more to hear leadership I’ve praised and admired turn against me. I’m sorry you’ve had to face it for so long

[Ms. Sousa @cssteaching]

So I guess the hours of screen time at home with students, colleagues, and writing lesson plans doesn’t count as “working”, so I don’t deserve my pay? Gov, you are vilifying teachers and insinuating selfishness for wanting to keep ourselves and our kids safe #safereturntoschoolRI
