I said this at the beginning of the pandemic and I& #39;m gonna say it again:

I understand the needs of my Ss. I also believe in Science. I am a Black woman with Black children. We are more likely to die from Covid. (1)

The district where I live gave an option. My kid is doing distance learning.

The district where I work has a high number of cases. Too high to return. We have a large population of Black & Brown Ss. (2)

I am not ok w/these tweets about the numbers of Black & Brown families who want their kids back in schl.

We are not going to pretend that simply sending kids back will solve anything; it will not. (3)

I tweet damn near everyday (pre-Covid) about the sh*t happening in SpEd but ppl really became concerned when schools were closed.

Let& #39;s be real: Schls need to open so ppl can go back to work. Mostly the Black & Brown ppl. (4)

Schls need to open so the privileged don& #39;t have to help their kids 6+ hours/day.

Now you all understand what we actually do in a schl year. (5)

You may have 1-3 kids; we have 10+.

I& #39;m not risking my life to appease privileged folks& #39; demands.

(6)

And some of the folks complaining likely voted for that turd, both times.

It& #39;s on you.

(7)

Teachers get on this app & crowdfund/beg for classroom supplies (including wipes & sanitizer) every damn year, but ppl want us back in poorly ventilated & shittily cleaned classrooms, without PPE and social distancing.

(8)

I& #39;m not going out from Covid. All the hereditary sh*t I& #39;ve avoided? Tuh.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.

You know where to go & what to do on the way there.

And yes; I& #39;m still pissed about the tweets I saw of a parent demanding someone come into their home to serve their kid.

Like I didnt raise & teach my kids while working full-time (teacher other people& #39;s kid) & finishing 2 grad degrees.

Tuh.
