Common Core isn't gone, it's just been renamed in state after state. Standardized Tests are still required & they're all based on Common Core standards. Time to dump the tests. #LessTestingMoreTeaching#TBATs

Teachers making less according to NEA. Large class sizes and #LAUSD wonders why there's a shortage of teachers. psstt... .@LAUSDSup & .@LASchools Beyond Recovery Platform. it's a long read but it moves us in the right direction for students and schools
We have a #HeatEmergency in the city, Mayor Janey has ordered cooling stations around the city. Our school buildings were built in the 1930’s - no AC.
