1/2 #NewMexico#covid19 "Red-to-Green" update. No red counties, many moved from yellow to green to turquoise. No word yet on what the @NMDOH's & @GovMLG's criteria are for re-opening & dropping the mask mandate (yes, we need to have that convo).
Addendum: I've answered my own question. @NMDOH@GovMLG are going the Fauci route w/ #covid19. We have to continue to be afraid of variants, & even tho daily case counts are under 200 we're still being held hostage w/ no end in sight. (pg 27/28 on the powerpt link above)

1/ I feel a thread coming on. @NMPED pull up a chair ... this concerns you.
This op-ed was published in the @ABQJournal yesterday about kids not losing academic progress over the course of this year.
Go ahead read it, then we'll come back and talk:
2/ As a mother and former school teacher, I call bull on this. Absolute and total bull.
Case in point. My 2 sons are special needs. They are on IEPs for developmental delays. Both were improving & meeting their IEP goals last spring when @GovMLG mistakenly shut down schools.
3/ They were both only a year to six months behind their peers as far as academics were concerned. Son #1 was also improving on his social goals, which were also part of his IEP.
Here's a true story ... about public education in #NewMexico
School started in #LosAlamos on August 13th, 2020. We knew it would be a weird start, but held out hope that the kids would be back at school in a timely manner. #backtoschoolnmm#covid19
2/ Kids were supposed to return Sept 21st, but the school board delayed the start of hybrid to Oct 19th. Something about "not being ready" .. what were you doing all summer? I withdrew my younger kid, b/c remote school almost destroyed him. Left my older kid enrolled.
3/ My kid went exactly 5 days before the school board voted to go back to remote till Jan 19th 2021. Last week we had snow, so no in person school. Today he went back for TWO hours only, in the PM, after all of the academic work. So basically for study hall. #backtoschoolnm
