The @PHLschoolboard and President Streater pay lip service to our #PhlEd students. But they routinely break promises and lack follow-through. inquirer.com/education/phil…

The eternal conundrum: a student doesn't "really like Cs", but also doesn't like working hard enough to produce work that would earn a B or an A. #PhlEd

Our school's water keeps being turned off by contractors hired by @PhillyH2O. This is DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. @PHLPublicHealth, this has got to be against health code. A school full of children about to go to lunch. No running water. @PHLschools is not much help. #PhlEd

Y'all realize that grocery store cashiers do not set prices, right? You should not be dumping all your grocery rage and economic anxiety on them. Save your anger for these greedy friggin billionaires who are responsible for the problem.

As we finished reading 'Ghost Summer' by @tananarivedue.bsky.social with my 9th graders, they asked if there was a movie of the story. I wish. But then the students were reminiscing over other fave books they read in school. They loved Hatchet, Bridge to Terabitha, House on Mango St. #PhlEd 1/2
