🎉 We did it. SB 2821 - the bill for free period products in all @HIDOE808 schools - passed the final committee hurdle yesterday. It now moves to the Hawaii House for a final vote. 16 years as a teacher & I don’t think it gets better than this. ❤️ #PublicSchoolProud #EndPPinHI

✌️ Twitter - fellow radical educators, see ya on the other platforms. I don’t know if we’ll ever find a space like 2016-2020 EduTwitter, but I’ll stay hopeful.

@TeachinginHI I can get salty about admin asking teachers to “find our WHY” but for real, this is it. The ‘glimmers’ keep us going. Thanks for sharing your light

You can really tell who has 2016 trauma and who was too young to remember.

So I enjoyed today’s pod, but it felt like @jonlovett was Sam and @JessicaTarlov was Ainsley. So curious what’s being said around the @CrookedMedia office today.

Your podcast challenges me @citizenstewart. I came to teaching via TFA & lost my youth to teacher martyrdom in TX. My friends burned out at KIPP, YES Prep, IDEA charters I found union support & I’m not looking back. Yet, I’m 19 years in & only make $60k.
