Whether Opening Schools Without Covid Precautions or Demanding School Choice, Lying That It Will Help Poor Children of Color Legitimizes Anything

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

If your partner or spouse is a teacher they probably answer 2,000+ questions every school day.

So try to avoid asking them questions the minute they get home, especially questions like, “So what’s for dinner?”

Smaller class sizes have minimal effect on student achievement? Where are the studies you’re basing your statement on? Where were they conducted? What was the socioeconomic status of children in the room? How many students had IEPs? What is your definition of skilled?

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

An important argument: Smaller class sizes generally have minimal effect on student achievement. What they do is reduce teacher salaries. More skilled, better trained teachers who can handle a larger class + policies to reduce workload allow for T's to be MUCH better paid.

@molly_esq @theVogelman They’re playing that again now too…

@PEMDAS59 HOW.

Petitioning to give BIPOC the day off on DEI PD days to avoid subjecting then to the trauma of white people working through (or refusing to work through) their own racism. My body hurts.

Journal entry from January 15, 2021: “Today a student said, ‘Bye Ms. Tang thanks for making science not boring’ and it was really nice.”

You guys how do we escape Smart goals?

Eww

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

Our work to transform our schools is crucial to creating a strong economic foundation for our country.

It’s time to break down the silos between K-12 systems and college, career, and industry preparation programs. This is how we transform education in this country.

When the Secretary of Education posts a tweet saying that “teaching isn’t a job” but rather my “life’s purpose”?

I don’t know about y’all, but life’s purpose doesn’t pay my bills.

[Julia E. Torres (MAEd., MA, MLIS) @juliaerin80]

One not fun thing about the end of the semester few people know about is the way education laborers' bodies contract the flu or colds just as break arrives. The body carries stress, when stress lets up even a little, the body often gives in to illness.

You don’t get to brag about hiring the district’s first Black female superintendent when you oust her in a year and a half.

Please explain to me what’s funny about this tweet @Twitter. Go ahead. We’re listening.

Imagine thinking in 2022 that what students need to succeed is less compassion. Couldn’t be me

[Rafał Zaorski @privateZaorski]

I reckon one of the best examples of Cognitive Load Theory in practice is the load placed on teachers by Behaviour Management.

Every ounce of concentration taken by BM is a loss in attention devoted to teaching the content. And there is a finite amount of attention available.

Tying teacher pay to student test scores is illogical. Only eduhacks & out-of-touch policy wonks believe teachers can “make” students pass tests

@IDoTheThinking Also not sure how you feel about AirBNBs but my friend @what_itissbaby has been running a great location in NOLA for years. A+ for drunkenly riding the trolley back in the middle of the night

@IDoTheThinking Oh and don’t breathe in while you’re eating a beignet at Cafe Du Monde. Powdered sugar in the lungs is not a good look
