Not sure most people understand the number of high quality and hard working teachers who are truly on the verge of breakdowns due to being overworked and overwhelmed this school year.

I don't know who came up with this idea of teaching two cohorts of kids (some in person, socially distanced, some online) simultaneously but it's wrong. It's two jobs. It's not good for kids, and it's not good for teachers.
I have been a teacher for over two decades. I have never felt this uncertain, stressed, and tired. I am teaching in-person and online - 12 hour days, routinely in classes I have taught for years. I wake up every day and think about quitting. - an anonymous teacher

Ayyy. Somebody always going to be mad. Secure yourself - you’re the bag. Say what comes from deep in your soul. Stay centered on your calling and never fold. Do not be swayed by fads and trends. Your twitter followers ain’t your real friends #HipHopEd #TenToesDown #AWord4Someone

This. Is. So. Important.
Black mothers have been crying over their dead children’s bodies for generations. But people turned a blind eye. They didn’t believe it—or didn’t want to believe. But now because of smartphones, you can’t deny it. You can’t turn away. It’s there.

Last night was tough for so many people who love Atlanta. Here’s a bright spot: I’ve counted at least a dozen volunteers who brought trash bags, gloves and brooms to help clean up. One man told me simply: “this is my city. I’m here to help.”

It’s up to all of us—Black, white, everyone—no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own.

How is it not discrimination to allow some students to choose to get “a GPA boost” because they HAVE (some or all of) the privilege of enough devices, reliable internet, parents at home, steady income, but the students who can’t or don’t can just “go ahead with Pass/Fail?”

Normalize saying “I don’t know enough to have an opinion.”
