    Feels like an appropriate bittersweet ending when I leave my laptop at Stripe for the last time and it immediately starts raining. Looking forward to what’s next but also feeling all the feelings today

    Honestly I think politics is not the problem here. It’s the inability to research and verify facts. There are so many just wrong things in that piece. I don’t know what he teaches but I’d be very worried about the lack of critical thinking and reasoning being shown

    Just a cover letter. Based on advice we held an open house with treats and drinks explaining why what we were doing was very reasonable and sent letters before as well. I was 6 months pregnant. And still got DR’ed. This city 🙄

    I've always found small learning groups incredibly rewarding and would like to help create a few more based on what I've learned. If you would like to be matched into a group of senior technology leaders that will meet twice a month please fill this link

    The district lost money - from the state by being the only one in the bay area to not reopen fully, fewer enrollments, fighting a frivolous lawsuit. It truly baffling to see progressives back such an incompetent board that did real harm.

    @UESF you really need to examine the data behind that graphic. Parents love their teachers and schools and are sick of the board making it harder for everyone. Also last I checked many of us aren’t white even though it’s sounds convenient to claim we are

    It is actually possible to both like your school and teachers and also want the BOE recalled

    Didn’t the district lose far more money from the state because they failed to reopen middle and high school in spring?

    Particularly true for those who might have visas tied to the place of work. I shudder to think of anyone that might have gone through a visa transfer to have an offer rescinded but it probably happens.
