It’s #WorldTeachersDay… which is just like every other day for us here at NYSUT!
Thank you to our educators and those in the teaching profession across the world! We ♥️ you!
BREAKING: Humanity survives another day. 🤖❌
Salamanca has hit pause on its robot “teacher assistant” experiment.
Parents, educators and community members still think kids deserve actual humans in their classrooms.

🚨NEWS - THE RESPECT CHECK PASSED CITY COUNCIL🎉
Solidarity is our strength! UFT members united and paras made their voices heard to move the hearts and minds of the @NYCCouncil, especially our champions @SpeakerMenin and @CnDelaRosa.
Because of the advocacy of our members and the parents who advocated for their children, 49 City Council members joined us in standing for the dignity of our paraprofessionals.
Final step: signing the RESPECT Check into law.
#TimeForRESPECT #RESPECTForParaprofessionals
This is what solidarity looks like. 👏
Congratulations to our UFT family, every paraprofessional who spoke up, and every parent who stood alongside them. This victory belongs to all of you. Now let’s get the RESPECT Check signed into law. #TimeForRESPECT@UFT@nysut

A school can't function without paraprofessionals.
When starting pay is around $34,000 a year and schools are facing 1,600 vacancies, the problem isn't a lack of dedication—it's a lack of respect.
I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: One job should be enough. The people who help our students succeed every day deserve wages they can actually live on.
