Workers aren’t “quiet-quitting” to avoid burnout. They’re refusing to have their labor stolen without compensation. Idk why there are so many bad articles about this

"If the pay and working conditions are so bad, why don't teachers and nurses just quit?"
*Teachers and nurses quit in droves*
"Why aren't there enough teachers and nurses?!? How can we get more?!?"

With less than a month until school starts, Columbus City Schools has left the bargaining table. It seems likely that teachers will strike. More than two years into a pandemic and teachers are still fighting to get kids what they deserve. Here's some of what @ColumbusEA wants –

By the time you turn 35, you're in a blood feud with either Lowes or Home Depot, and have sworn vengeance against a minimum of two major airlines.

🚨I wrote about a new study that makes clear just how exceptional America is, compared to other wealthy nations, at killing its own people--in large numbers & at young ages, during the pandemic and long before it. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archi…

ADHD is thinking about all the things you have to do, getting stressed about all the things, worrying about the consequences of not doing the things, but still feeling stuck and unable to do any of the things.

1/4 Curriculum is like jarred spaghetti sauce.
Some people use it straight from the jar even though they know it's too salty.
Some add ingredients to improve it bc they know how to cook, but don't have time to start from scratch.

2% and 3% are both small numbers and large numbers at the same time.
They’re small relative to the 80-90% of the population who had had Covid by that point, suggesting around 1-in-25 of those has long Covid today, and for 1-in-40 it is limiting their daily activities...

Those men were at the constitutional convention on stolen land writing about "freedom" while eating meals prepared by the human beings they owned. Some chewed and swallowed that food with teeth stolen from someone else's mouth. And we were taught in school to call them "fathers."

A broken system is when 4 Justices nominated by Presidents who lost the popular vote, confirmed by a Senate who represent 40M fewer Americans than the other party, strip health access from 165M women that more than 230M Americans support
Abolish the filibuster. Expand The Court.

Just because a student does not raise their hand, does not mean that they are not thinking deeply about the content. We need to broaden what we mean by engagement in our classrooms/schools. This will invite/value more students in the learning process.

Getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult feels like being told you suck at Mario Kart your whole life and then finding out your game generates 40 times more banana peels than it's supposed to

NTs always say things like, ‘It’s good to be out of your comfort zone’ but they mean they went white water rafting a few years ago not that every day is a feat of endurance

Every single school should be working to figure out how to double plan time for teachers.
The US requires more instructional minutes from teachers than almost any other country in the world (Argentina and Chile are the only two higher than us).
A thread...
