Friends of twitter, the word of the day is betrayal. The @NYCMayor has betrayed families. The chaos many of us felt weeks ago because we are educators and their allies is now wreaking havoc in all families' lives. Check out this dipatch from a South Bklyn HS Town Hall

In an op-ed in @NYDailyNews today, Brooklyn Tech parent Art Chang describes the screening system for staff and kids correctly as "an honor system". Clean and scrub all you want-without an intelligent and effective testing protocol, there will be infections in the schools.

New Tonight: Disturbing video from @WBFO in Buffalo, NY shows an elderly man walk up to police in riot gear. An officer shoves the man...he falls backwards, hits his head...starts bleeding immediately...motionless.

High school teachers - I'm looking for ideas. How are you checking in with students while closed? (Not how are you delivering e-learning, bc we're not really doing that.) What methods are you using to check in on your students' mental and social well-being?

Thank you so much @NickyHilton for lending your voice to @FoodBank4NYC's efforts to combat hunger during the #COVID19 crisis.
If you have the means, now would be a great time to donate to your local food banks. (Money is usually preferable to donating canned goods). Every $1 donated to @FoodBank4NYC provides 5 meals. secure3.convio.net/fbnyc/sit…
