Bargain for labor all you want but @massteacher PLEASE for the love of all things STOP telling us that you’re doing this for the students. You must not have heard the very concerning calls from doctors to re-open schools for these STUDENTS who so badly need it. (1/n)
In case you missed it @massteacher, some quotes from the folks who really are standing up for students ⬇️
We care about the STUDENTS. We are standing up for the CHILDREN. @massteacher bargains for their members. Our children don’t have a union. So if state leadership has to be the ones to step in and make it happen for them, so be it (/end).

Parents are getting used to the shaming from elected leaders: Kudos to these Lexington parents for speaking up when *elected* School Comm member @kathleenlenihan publicly mocks them.
This is why we applaud 👏 @MASchoolsK12 disrupting local control
This, folks, is what us parents are getting used to dealing with from @MASCSchoolComm elected leaders ‼️
Simply because we are vocalizing that our children need to be prioritized and that any semblance of routine and in-person schooling is sorely needed. Shameful! #openschools
At @MASchoolsK12 mtg: Commissioner @JeffreyCRiley discusses a provisionally accepted study by interdisciplinary group of doctors in a top infectious disease journal: "The effectiveness of 3- vs. 6-feet of distancing for controlling the spread of covid-19 among students and staff"
The study compared 194 MA districts operating at 6 feet with 49 MA districts at 3-feet from Sept to January, with all other mitigation in place, concludes: "there was not a higher case rate of COVID-19 in either students OR staff based on the difference in spacing." #openschools
