I connect the dots: Mayor indicted, Chancellor resigns, & Panel for Educational Policy eliminates its Contract Committee; so much for Mayoral control!! nycpublicschoolparents.blogspot.com/2024/09/mayor-…

@TeacherArthurG I totally agree with you. It’s a horrible way to educate children.
English
For the record, "asynchronous" learning is code for kids not actually seeing a teacher. It's ridiculous, and not remotely what any kids need, especially those with many needs. 🧵🧵🧵

This is being framed by @NYCSchools like we have enough teachers already and would need to spend an additional $1.9B to comply with the law. Out here in the Bronx, where a swiftly revolving door of teachers leaves our classrooms chronically overcrowded, we desperately need more.

I super co-sign! Zara is remarkable and we have gotten so many wins already with the organizing and coalition building!

Very neat to be finalists in education reporting on school choice (and to see @Suntimes + @WBEZ nominated for their excellent series on the 2013 school closings):

@JennBinis @ChalkbeatNY @AGZimmerman Excellent article covering this teacher and her teaching techniques. Thank you.
English
Taking a moment to feel very down about the fact that there are no guidelines for ventilation or air purifying in NYC schools, and that’s not going to change, because we have a mayor who’s obsessed with himself, thinks he was chosen by God, and doesn’t care about kids. 😵💫

The Vineyard has a reputation as a respite for the elite. I get it — I’ve worked/lived/visited my entire life. But the island’s many cultures have defined this longtime summer destination as a place of community and joy.

I gotta say, @DianaAyalaNYC is bringing the fire and fighting for our most vulnerable New Yorkers!
We must support our newcomers in the most effective way while still advocating for @GovKathyHochul and @POTUS to provide us with state and federal funds!
New York City Council@NYCCouncil
As NYC sees an influx of asylum seekers, @NYCCouncilAyala joined @PIX11News to discuss how the Council’s recent legislation to reduce barriers to housing vouchers will provide relief for our overburdened shelter system by accelerating the transition to permanent housing.

@ChalkbeatNY @AbigailKramer11 @THECITYNY @propublica Curious @chalkbeatny @abigailkramer11 whether the report includes charter schools.

NYC schools call 911 on kids in emotional distress thousands of times a year - despite a pledge to stop relying on NYPD for students having mental health episodes, an investigation by @AbigailKramer11 for @THECITYNY + @propublica found. ny.chalkbeat.org/2023/5/4/23710…

A tiny bit of news: I am officially going to begin covering NYC's early childhood education system. Please reach out with tips, and let's get all the coffee!
English
@terryparrisjr @reemadamin @galeabrewer Totally agree. DOE or NYCPS or BOE or whatever they are calling themselves now, can't reach parents by newspaper. I think that's what Gail @galeabrewer meant. And @reemadamin - everybody! reads chalkbeat! (or should!)
English
@reemadamin @galeabrewer doesn't seem that out of context tbh
English
Out-of-context @galeabrewer during the pre-K/3K hearing: "Nobody reads a newspaper in this city anymore."

Again, I’m not going very far — and will have more job news to share on Monday. So let’s hop on the phone or meet for coffee this week. My DMs are open! (6/6)

Some personal news, as they say: My time reporting on education for The New York Post has come to a close — but expect to see my byline very soon still covering NYC schoolkids. (1/6)

Somebody remind me again—by name—which journalists told us that Biden’s lack of popularity—and a focus on Dobbs and Democracy—would sink the Dems. Obviously everyone on Fox News. Who else got it exactly wrong? Name them since we know they’ll do little or no self analysis.

Heard this (though not as frequently) on one of the trains I took last week, too.
Kate Hinds is on Bluesky @katehinds.bsky.social@katehinds
The conductor on my C train is making this announcement at almost every stop: “Attention passengers: there are officers from NYPD on this platform should you need assistance.”

@reemadamin @ndhapple Reema- you have lovely hair! Enjoy it! Embrace the absence of the ordinary!
English
@ndhapple Ugh. My tried and true routine — wash, fave styling cream and diffuser — was absolutely no match for this hellscape today.
English
This is why I didn’t think this day deserved the rating it got. My curly hair is a bird’s nest at the moment.
Nolan Hicks@ndhapple
Can confirm, my hair is an absolute disaster.
