After six months of asking @nychealthy.bsky.social to reconsider its partnership with @talkspace.bsky.social — we thought sharing a recap of the teen data privacy implications might help remind everyone of the stakes. #Parents4Privacy #leoniehaimson @nyclu.bsky.social

I’m sorry I couldn't receive this “Skinny Award” in person. Although I never feel worthy of receiving awards for saying & doing what is expected of me by my community, I want to say thank you to @leoniehaimson @DianeRavitch & @ClassSizeMatter for this very special honor. ❤️🎉🙏🏾

Now that we got that part out of the way, @AdrienneEAdams1 can you please bring a Class Size Reduction bill to the floor of @NYCCouncil for a vote? Students, families, and educators all deserve it. @leoniehaimson

What does this mean for schools that are already overcrowded? The capacity numbers for each school will go down which means school buildings will be even more overcrowded. Can we build new schools to go with this? @leoniehaimson

Thanks @leoniehaimson for inviting me. It was a great conversation! The problem is there is so much to discuss and so little time to discuss it. I look forward to doing it again!

@johnflerner @leoniehaimson You have lots of interesting stats - sources would be helpful. So would apples-to-apples comparisons.

@johnflerner @leoniehaimson Interesting - what do ELL rates look like at the Roslindale neighorhood schools?

@SchlFinance101 @leoniehaimson Also, can't speak of large-scale voucher programs w/o mentioning Colombia: <a href="http://www.nber.org/papers/w10713" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://www.nber.org/papers/w10713

@shankerblog @leoniehaimson She said mayoral control "eliminates democracy." Under what definition of democracy is that not asinine?
November 8, 2024 at 3:08 PM
@shankerblog @schlfinance101 @leoniehaimson @nancyflanagan Worse, they're scaremongering; no one says fire 5-10% EVERY year.
November 8, 2024 at 3:08 PM
@alexiswiggins @samchaltain @leoniehaimson So how is this not by definition dilution of the teacher's full attention?
November 8, 2024 at 3:08 PM
@alexiswiggins @samchaltain @leoniehaimson Even so, diff. is still dilution. Any time spent on certain kids is time NOT spent with others.
