McDonald’s worker in the US: $9/hr
McDonald’s worker in Denmark: $22/hr, 6 weeks of annual vacation, a union, 1 year of paid family leave, life insurance and pension.
America must join the rest of the industrialized world and ensure that our working class can live with dignity.

I think our commissioner of education should declare a true snow day for Tuesday. No synchronous or asynchronous. Just sleep, sledding and soup. Who's with me? #avengersunite

Just stating the obvious.
EGHS has the absolute best PTG in the whole wide world. Thanks for all that you do for all of us. I know it takes @nan_shea and a small army of volunteers countless hours to do what they do and it is so appreciated. Thank you!

Hey fellow educators... I saw another teacher make this promise earlier today.
Let’s promise to one another to not give a stitch of homework over the holiday break.
Our students deserve to take a break... a real break.
Retweet if you’re with me.

So, we are still planning on administering state tests and AP tests that were developed pre-covid and assess standards requiring all students to be in safe schools every day with little concerns about their or their teacher's health. Is that about right?

There is a huge difference between "reopening" and "operating." We can "reopen" the schools as buildings that warehouse children but that does not mean that they will be "operating" as schools.

Incredible scene at Colorado’s Capitol right now. Thousands of protesters are lying face down with their hands behind their backs chanting “I can’t breathe.” They’re doing this for 9 mins. #copolitics #denverprotest #GeorgeFloyd
