From my old colleague SlavaG, this image really rocked me. This is not what we want for our children...this has to stop. (P.S. Love the hair ribbons!) #Ukraine

My manager thinks I shouldn’t work in #SFUSD (and I have no idea why). I, my colleagues, mentors, and students all disagree. If you live in SF, and if you care about such things, maybe consider saying something? ebar.com/news/commentary//31…

Obviously Judge T.S. Ellis III is not a cheese lover. So disappointing. nytimes.com/2022/01/12/busin…

Is Gruyère Still Gruyère if It Doesn’t Come From Gruyères? (Gift Article)

A federal judge says yes, siding with U.S. cheese producers who say gruyère can be produced anywhere, not just in Switzerland and France.

Dear @sfchronicle , care to account exactly how much more is ‘far more’? “On average, each full-time teacher eliminated saves the district $135,000 in total compensation …although top management positions account for far more.” sfchronicle.com/projects/202…
S.F. school board must pass plan for painful cuts at tonight’s meeting or face possible state...

Even with a budget of more than $1 billion, cuts in San Francisco school district spending will run deep. Here’s a look at what’s on and off the table in an effort to balance the budget.

And while you’re at it @sfchronicle , perhaps you’d like to break down why SFUSD has well over 3x the number of these ‘top management’ positions’ than comparable CA districts?

And why would imply declining enrollment means schools are over-staffed but not ‘top management’? Seems to me that you could have said a lot more than ‘far more’. Why no details?? Why no cost analysis?

This is the carnage that the Common Core has wrought! After being forced to "Explain how you know" since Kindergarten, CommonCore has them so twisted up that 7th graders don't know how to just solve a damn equation. 🤬
