A little comic relief for frustrated #parents ... "Despite recent national test scores showing that local elementary schoolchildren are ordering from food apps at below a first-grade level ..." https://t.co/4JXbjj2EVn

Schools can't seem to commit to phone bans. If kids can have phones in class, I guess that means using food delivery apps is just fine too. #Education

Call me crazy, but I'm pretty certain high school kids can read more than 3 or 4 novels each school year. #schools #Education

In #Seattle, public school parents received an email on Monday that made the terms of the Sunday #Seahawks victory clear for each and every family. There will be no FUN during regularly scheduled school hours ... https://t.co/Zx7lbALaAR #seattleschools #education

#Seattle schools are happy to trumpet the new hypothesis that kids do better when they don’t have access to cellphones in class. It took only some expensive magnetic bags, and, presumably, a whole lot of degrees in education, for people to figure that out. https://t.co/PCYsKtgS7P

Well, it wasn't saving enough money when 21 #SeattleSchools were going to close, and now we're down to 5 schools. Huh.
School Board members horrified as they realize, months after approving closure proposal, that 20 schools might close (satire)

Seattle Public Schools says it will close 17 to 21 schools. But it's not quite adding up, is it?

It's been really frustrating to watch the importance of the #SATs be downplayed in #SeattleSchools.

@JetBlue We have been calling and calling. That approach isn't working and there's no excuse for this delay. Everyone has been very nice but completely ineffectual. This needs to be fixed. #jetblue @jetblue
