How Moral Distress is Eating Away at Teachers progressive.org/public-schools…

❄️☃️Worcester Public Schools Closed on Monday, January 29:

Due to the forecast and timing for accumulating snow, all Worcester Public Schools will be closed on Monday, January 29.

Head Start and before- and after-school activities are also canceled.

I just wrote to my state rep and senator and urged them to prioritize the passage of the Thrive Act and put an end to the MCAS grad requirement. Please join me in taking action. secure.ngpvan.com/0ku5vBO8zkmaCW…

Stop telling educators they received a raise when their increased healthcare costs outweigh their salary increase. 🤨

No, rent shouldn’t cost this much.

Groceries shouldn’t cost this much.

Wages shouldn’t be this low.

I know it’s harder to report on what DOESN’T happen. But just a reminder:

The Biden Administration has not had a single cabinet resignation, zero firings of senior officials.

Just steady leadership and governing.

This isn’t nice to say, but it needs to be said…if you think indoctrination is happening in public schools, or think librarians and teachers are groomers, you’re a simple person.

You have no ability to separate fact from fiction and you’re gullible.

Justice is a routine that keeps us all safe.

Bringing the joy back into teaching is a hot topic and I get it. But most of what robs teachers of joy are systemic problems. Pay Teachers. Improve working conditions. Reduce class sizes. Address the things that rob this profession of joy and do it loudly.
