So predictable, so devastating, so avoidable.
The people who kept our schools closed and supported school closures need to be held accountable and we must do more. Why don’t we have one on one tutoring in every district? @pps_portland chalkbeat.org/2022/11/16/234…
We are so very proud of Rene!! We are proud of the campaign you ran and the class you showed when the opposition lied about you and us. We will never stop fighting for Oregon kids.
Go forth and do good for our City!!
We will await final counts but we are bursting with pride for @reneforportland. We had your back. We all had the backs of Oregon children. We will be here fighting for kids with you. Forever.
This is a perfect description of Ed 300. People attacking us for reaching across party lines and putting kids first are wrong. We need more moderation and collaboration to solve big problems, not more polarization. nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-o…
This. We are proud of our work and we will not be tarnished by lies uttered for political gain by people who stood by silently while kids suffered.
A thread on local politics and the behavior of @JoAnnPDX campaign. Bear w me for a few tweets. 1) the lies and smears she and her campaign have engaged in against @reneforportland and @ed3009 are what keep good people out of local politics. wweek.com/news/city/2022/10/…
This. All the people attacking Ed 300 - where were you? How many kids did you check on? Feed? You took away their safety net and then abandoned them for 18 months - while you sat on your comfy couch.

Our accusers say we demanded schools open without masks. The receipts say otherwise.
What kind of people attack parents who volunteered their time fighting for all Oregon students?
Where were they when our students needed them most?
There are a lot of falsehoods being spread about who Ed 300 is and was. We were a group of thousands of parents with a single-minded focus to give all students the CHOICE of in-person school. We held rallies, wore masks and wrote our leaders. That is who we were.
“Politicians have been happy to use the classroom as a battleground for fighting about broader cultural divides or to cater to politically powerful teachers unions, while neglecting questions about whether students are learning.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

See this @BLPSchools and @cookstev? We don’t need “equitable grading.” We need to raise the standards and help kids meet them. Not lower the standards so your graduation numbers look good. @OregonGovBrown @Tina4Oregon
The pandemic has laid bare the failures in public education.
“The way to reverse declining student achievement is not by eliminating standards. It’s by doing more to help students meet them — and holding schools accountable for their results.” bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

“With little evidence that school closures saved lives and ample evidence that they hurt kids, this is a policy that failed. “

It bears remembering that school closures did not help prevent the spread of Covid. No benefit for all that harm reported today.
“Importantly, the data … show no relationship between the extent of school closures and COVID-19 infection rates…” oecdedutoday.com/education-r…
Unsurprisingly- learning loss was greater in states where schools were closed longest.
Comparing NAEP math scores from 2019 to 2022 shows an expected trend of more learning loss in states that closed school longer.
Also keep in mind, these 2022 scores are from students that are still around to take the test.

This is why we fought tooth and nail to open Oregon’s schools. Every day that they were closed, students fell further behind. Our detractors said remote school was school and students were “resilient.” They were wrong. oregonlive.com/education/202…
Schools were always safe. The data was clear on this by mid-2020 from Europe and then states that opened (including D run Rhode Island and Marin County, California). Yet, Oregon was almost second last to open.
