"Bring back the time
The heart, it never changes
And inside we're still the same kids
We were back in '89"

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.

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#covid192/ 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.
