This “shift to virtual” is a joke #phled . Note the city of Phila communication which states that air quality has improved, and outdoor programming will resume today.
As air quality issues continue, #PHLed buildings will close to students Friday - but staff must still report. (And most schools have collected Chromebooks.) Story: inquirer.com/news/philadelp…
Tomorrow is going to be asynchronous for #phled So in reality this means movie day. Any of the following last day of school movies appropriate for a 10 year old? 1. Dazed & Confused. 2. Can’t Hardly Wait. 3. Superbad 4. Say Anything. 5. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Many #PHLed neighborhood K-8s can't offer algebra to 8th graders - an important pathway into STEM & more. At Nebinger, a parent volunteer worked with some students to bridge the gap. But these kids are on a mission to bring algebra to all district schools. inquirer.com/news/philadelp…
The #phled model is always: 1) do nothing when you should do something 2) have parents, students and teachers yell at you for it 3) do something that doesn’t make sense when it’s too late.
Got an email from a rockstar educator who’s leaving SDP for all the reasons you expect: no resources, unsupported, expected to do more with even less in the fall. We talk til we’re out of breath about how student success requires talented and stable teachers, yet… #phled
They're very few good options, but announcing that schools and students would not be held accountable for their attendance during a climate crisis would be a nice idea #phled
I think when we talk about celebrations in terms of 'decorum' and 'norms' we really need to think about what norms, whose ideas of decorum, and where those ideas come from. #PhlEd
I'm not making my child get up at 6 am tomorrow morning to get to school on time and sit around to do nothing in a building without air conditioning because grades were finalized on June 5 and WHY THE FUCK WOULD THE SCHOOL BOARD DO THAT TO CHILDREN
With a Code Red air quality alert in effect, #phled tells schools to keep windows closed, cancel outdoor activities. Story: inquirer.com/news/philadelp…
I just don’t think this is sufficient given the circumstances. There are high school kids who have to walk up to 1.5 miles to and from school (that’s the minimum distance for a Fare Card). #PHLed
