World-class talented leader is seeking @RIDeptEd @AInfanteGreen approval to eliminate the PE and Foreign Lang graduation requirement?! What are you doing to our Ss? As if social promotion isn’t horrible enough now we are taking away graduation requirements! This is atrocious-

Where is the outrage from the @pvdschools leaders? Many teachers, parents, and community members are speaking out publicly but crickets from the β€œleaders”. Looks like $20k can buy a lot!
"Toe popping" = "inappropriately touching children" & please let's not pretend otherwise by giving it a cutesy or funny name as cover.

If only the, β€œI have zero sympathy for gangbangers,” crowd would donate to and volunteer at the after school programs and wrap-around programs that help support families and keep kids out of gangs.

The argument that George Floyd died of natural causes while Derek Chauvin happened to be kneeling on his neck is so farcical it’s hard to believe anybody could take it seriously

I've taught at five schools. Never once have I had an exit interview asking what the school did well/could do better; never once have I had an entrance interview asking what my last school did really well. Why? Missed opportunities for growth.

The school leader must decide if they want to control or grow their teachers. Because you can't do both. Growth is better! – at Maryville, TN

So George Floyd was so big and strong that he had to be restrained for 9 minutes with a knee on his neck even as he lay on the ground unconscious and handcuffed. But George Floyd was so weak, unhealthy, and fragile that he died from a totally routine police use of force.

RI Parents - you can opt your child out of RICAS for any reason. It is federal law and you don’t need a medical note. Students have had enough going on this year without imposing another test to measure deficits during a pandemic.

To be clear: forcing students to take standardized tests in the middle of the pandemic is intentional. The results, which will obviously be worse than previous years, will be used to: - continue to blame teachers - defund public schools even more - implement more testing
