Just discovered a 2018 @CDCgov report regarding children and brain injuries & some @biaamerica statistics.
From this, I'm absolutely convinced WE MUST MANDATE ALL KIDS 3-17 WEAR HELMETS AT ALL TIMES (exceptions noted later).
First, the cold hard facts...
1/10
The Brain Injury Association reports that:
-Brain injury is the leading cause of disability & death for <18 in U.S.
-For <14, brain injury results in an estimated 2,685 deaths, 37,000 hospitalizations per year.
Newly released video of a @SanMarcosUSD HS teacher going off on students and their parents over distance learning and other issues. Originally posted to FB. Apparently this is a common occurrence.
Attorney for @SanMarcosUSD argued Thurs in court the district was negotiating to expand in-person instruction. Instead, union & district agreed to not change, enforcing 6 ft spacing limiting in-person time. CDC & CDPH allow 3 ft. On Fri, union posts members celebrating at 0 ft.
This same teacher is celebrating the half-baked hybrid plan as providing “small class instruction.” Is that the end game? Cut educational minutes to a fraction of what they were before in the name of “smaller class sizes?”
I’ve been inundated with reports of school districts spending state and federal Covid relief money on substantial one-time bonuses to teachers and administrators instead of spending them on getting kids back in classrooms or to curb learning loss.
This thread will document them.
First, it’s fitting to start with what the @NEAToday pres. admitted Friday night.
In her words, the light at the end of the tunnel is... the 1.9T fed aid package giving 170B to schools.
You’d think this money would be spent on PPE, supplies, and programs for kids. Not quite...
This is the craziest one I’ve seen so far, $6K proposed bonus!
There absolutely is a conflict of interest. The unknown is if Dr. Bardach’s husband’s company has or will benefit from the Safe Schools Team’s decisions. Action is needed to ensure there’s no abuse of power. sandiegouniontribune.com/news/education…
After rumblings of the potential COI started, Minerva began scrubbing their website referencing high-school. How is that not an admission of a conflict interest?
First image was archived by wayback on 3/6. The high-school reference is now gone. Second image is from today.
BREAKING: @BerkeleyUnified union pres. Matt Meyer who has led efforts keeping Berkeley schools closed nearly a year because it’s “unsafe” caught dropping daughter off at private in-person school. Why is it safe for him but not the rest of BUSD families??? Credit @GuerillaMomz 1/3
Here is the YouTube video. One of the union demands before a return to the classroom was every teacher vaccinated. How long has Matt Meyer’s daughter been attending in-person private school? 2/3
For what it’s worth, here is Matt Meyer’s Facebook profile picture wearing the same shirt. It reads “Keep Teachers in Berkeley.” Sadly, it says nothing about keeping families in Berkeley. 3/3
