@SecCardona Loan forgiveness for our credentials and grad school loans without 120 qualifying payments would really help!!!!

[Arielle Haze Mayer, M.Ed. @mirdonamy]

@POTUS How does this help teachers trying to achieve PSLF? We have 120 qualified payments we need to make that are very expensive. Are you going to lower the cost of these payments? These are for grad school mostly.

[Arielle Haze Mayer, M.Ed. @mirdonamy]

@SecCardona I can't figure out how this helps teachers trying to reach PSLF faster and with lower payments that qualify.

[Arielle Haze Mayer, M.Ed. @mirdonamy]

@SecCardona Please adjust PSLF so that teachers do not have to make 120 qualified payments to get debt relief. It's fine if you want teachers to work 10 years in public service, but making those payments is nearly impossible.

@rickwormeli2 This superintendent is going down a very dangerous path. I would quit too, if I taught there. This is horrific!

There have been a lot of individuals, particularly in education and politics, who push back on alternative perspectives or progressive ideas lately, and they do in the form of, "Where's the science?" or, "If you don't have specific research citations, then you're wrong and your perspective doesn't count." This is seriously flawed on many levels. In some ways, it's cowardly, too, because it allows us to avoid candid, uncomfortable conversations about what and why we teach the way we do, as well as the ego sting that comes with change that which we have associated our identity. The simple truth is that we don't have robust research on every little and great thing conscientious teachers do, and the science is not settled on a lot of the elements some claim as such. And quite often when teaching humans, the sterile, objective-data-only, devoid-of-local- context decisions made are the most harmful of all. So, let's be honest: Education research is a deeply valuable tool for successful teaching and growth, but wow, there are cautions against setting it upon an altar and never drifting from it. Here's my take on this, in case it helps:

Yesterday the Supreme Court made it harder for anyone who isn't white to pursue higher education.

Today the Court made it harder for anyone who isn't rich.

Are you seeing a pattern?

@whichwich your grilled cheesewich with broccoli, greens, & garlic aioli is the best sandwich I've ever had! I was devastated to find the Which Wich in Palm Desert didn't carry it when I drove 1 hr down there yesterday. Truly disappointing. This sandwich should be everywhere!

The reaction to the Titan submarine has shown that like a digital Tower of Babel, social media is evolving into an increasingly ugly and chaotic space — a real-time repository for our worst impulses and ill-formed thoughts that should be kept to ourselves. https://t.co/Zq3wpU0oaq
