At this point, I have the beginnings of several blog posts and several unsent tweets responding to a lot of the nonsense around schools right now.
I keep reopening them, re-reading, getting overwhelmed with exhaustion, and closing them again.
There’s been a recent renewal of the “why won’t anyone think of the CHILDREN” line #onhere, as if somehow it has escaped the attention of local leadership of districts that we don’t have children in buildings and that has consequences. #ThanksWeKnewThat
I think folks need to be super super careful (and I would use stronger adverbial descriptors here if I spoke that way) when speaking about the children of others whose life and experience aren’t theirs (and I speak here from inside my own glass house, as it were).

The joint meeting of the #Worcester City Council Education subcommittee and #WorcSchools Cmte Finance and Operations isn't livestreaming on Facebook, but you can find the livestream on the @TweetWorcester site worcesterma.gov/video-on-deman…
The agenda (with substantial backup) is online here: worcesterschools.org/wp-content/upl… #WorcSchools
Oh, nice reminder of City Council purview there by the assistant clerk (aka the councilors can't make requests of the school department unless they do so through the Committee)

Let's plan on starting the livetweeting thread here (I'll be jumping off this around 11:30, as I have a presentation to do) #mapoli #MAEdu
Rep. Michlewitz regarding MA's net contribution to federal taxes on President's tweets: he "should stop referencing us as a blue state and start calling us a green state" #mabudget
Rodriguez precarious position: still no help from federal government, high unemployment, ravaged by health
revenues up a meagre 1%

#MAEdu folks, if the main thing you're pulling from yesterday (and the only thing you're directing your ire at) is the note that we'll have the MCAS in the spring, you've missed the main ongoing undermining of district efforts to keep students and staff safe during a pandemic.
Note that the Governor, in defiance of both logic and best practice, reopened major gathering spaces in so-called green or grey communities.
That is precisely what is not needed at this time.
The Secretary of Education pointedly thanked *only* those districts and school committees that worked to get students back into buildings (not any of the rest of us, apparently).

Concentration of east of 128, non-cities, non-smaller districts, non-regionals...from that perspective, not particularly representative ('though it wasn't created with any of those in mind) #MAEdu
It's a ten member board and right now, two are from Boston, two are from Newton, two are from Brookline, one from Belmont, one from Lexington, and the Secretary is in Milton.
And Michael Moriarty from Holyoke. #MAEdu
If the troubles with the livestream continue, we could run an "average combined effort yield as a percentage of foundation" calculation there, and it would be...eye popping. #MAEdu
