My eyes are tired from side eyeing and eyerolling at the blatant gaslighting of teachers, the weaponizing of parents against teachers, comparison of nurses vs teachers, and all the lies folk are telling themselves with #hygienetheatre #wewontdieforDOE

I have to ask why these pinterest teachers are spending their own money to make pandemic education look cute, while still placing kids next to each other, in schools where masks are not required. Is it for likes? Why add more surfaces to clean? Can we stop gaslighting ourselves!

Lets talk about the mold, lead in water, PCBs. Lets talk about 100 year old buildings with out of date HVAC systems. Lets stop trying to put lipstick on a pig. Our schools have been crumbling for years. EdDeform made social distancing more difficult. Break this down.

Custodians should not carry the weight of this reopening on their backs, like the silly ghostbuster packs that are being rationed across the city. Hire more custodial staff, give more hours to them, give them all the tools and equipment and supplies they will need.

Lets talk about how now parents are NOW fully aware of why we send home back to school lists as long as a CVS receipt asking for cleaning supplies in addition to communal school supplies . Not every school gets funded the same. Uncover that inequity...

Call out teacher bashing. Why? Because when teachers are silenced, you send kids into schools with unresolved issues, unhealthy conditions, and warped profit focused methods that squander funds.
