For those who didn't watch the video:
Zack is an immigrant from Syria—and he caught a terrorist from New York.
Never forget that immigrants don't make us less safe, they make us safer; and they make New York... New York, every single day.

Today was SAT Day in NYC, an incredible waste of time and money. I get so angry when I think of all the personnel hours that were spent finding activities and rescheduling classes so all juniors could take the SAT in the name of "equity" while everyone else does nothing.

🧵 COVID-19: The unbearable 'mildness' of Omicron
The 'Omicron is mild' narrative was seeded very early and is being heavily pushed at the moment by the usual scientists, journalists & politicians.
Students of context should be cautious on these grounds alone.

So would it be wrong to add this one to my next problem set? 🤓😊 🙃 #iteachmath #mtbos

8/13/21: a student in my 13 person class tested positive for COVID & I was required to quarantine for 10 days to end the summer.
9/13/21: if a student tests positive in my room, I return to work the next day.
What changed over the last month? 🤨

There are four tools to tame the pandemic
1. Vaccines
2. Rapid tests
3. Improving indoor air
4. Masks
If we deploy first 3 aggressively and smartly
We need only use 4th sparingly
And safely do essentially everything we value
We have all the tools we need to end this pandemic

1- NYC parents, students, & teachers have spoken—the Mayor & the DOE must listen: provide a remote option for families who may need or want it. No one opposes reopening schools in September, but we are still in a pandemic, and delta doesn’t spare kids like earlier variants.

The CDC says fully vaccinated people no longer have to rationalize the denominator. #GetVaccinated

MƒA Master Teacher @stoodle talks about teaching through the pandemic with @CBSThisMorning. #MfAProud
WATCH: As the majority of school districts in the U.S. reopen, @AnthonyMasonCBS followed up with four high school teachers he spoke to last summer about how they and their students are doing after a challenging year of teaching through the pandemic.

For the record, “this is not who we are” is code for this is not the version of ourselves we wanted revealed. The shock & outrage we are seeing is so much more performative than reflective that it will not be instructive. That is the piece of this debacle that angers me most

By no means perfect, but this helps me talk through what's going on today. More kids stayed that chose the alternate activity. Adapted ideas from @denasimmons instagram post (I'll link in next tweet). #MTBoS #ITeachMath teacher.desmos.com/activityb…

“I believe two things will come together in spring: temperatures will get warmer & more people will be vaccinated. That could give us a synergistic effect that helps us to get back to normal. But going back to normal does not mean we eliminate the virus." bit.ly/34sjw09

So I feel pretty crummy as a T right now. If you have time, and if you can read what’s below, I would appreciate advice. 1/5

NEW: As schools face a staffing crunch, @NYCSchools will no longer require that blended learning students be given synchronous (aka live) instruction every day they're remote. Live teaching time will vary by school. Fully remote will still get live teaching daily. More soon.

COVID is not temporary. I buried my aunt in August. My brother still can't take a full breath after contracting in April as an MTA worker. 55 cases so far who knows what their fate will be.#wewontdieforDOE @NYCMayor @DOEChancellor #notuntilitssafe

I am a teacher at MS 88.

I take attendance every day using "Jam or Not a Jam." I play a song, and there's a Q in Google Classroom asking them if it's a Jam or Not a Jam. Gives us all 4 minutes or so to catch our breath, some music to vibe to, and a classroom culture builder. My fav routine. #dtk12chat
