    Folks keep asking if I support canceling high stakes standardized tests during the pandemic. 100% YES! I also think we should reassess whether we need to use limited resources to administer them in the future. @wplainsschools @NYSPRA @teachcardona @wpsba @WPTApresidents @nysut

    If you’re white and you think you’ve done enough. You haven’t. Anti-racism is a minute by minute endeavor. If you’re looking to be congratulated, don’t. But still, be anti-racist. Do it because it’s right. Work everyday. #BlackLivesMatter @Natalie_Zwerger @metronyu

    My son is struggling with remote learning. He is 6 and in K. He is 'present' in class daily. I called an audible, started him on activities that will teach him under these circumstances. Spoke with his T and she is okay. Flexibility is key. It's okay, moms, dads and caregivers.

    Real news: teachers’ unions are not standing in the way of full return. Vaccinate them and all school employees, tomorrow. The conversation will be wholly different. Let’s do this, America. @CDCDirector @pfizer @moderna_tx @POTUS @FLOTUS @nysut @NJEA @NEAToday

    I’m taking a moment for this because it’s important- let’s just reflect on how important our schools and our teachers are to EVERYTHING else. Let it sink in and let’s never forget it. We will get through this together #WPProud
