Watching the CCHS Town Hall, I realize that parents do not have adequate information on what is "on-grade" standard for every grade. We shouldn't have parents realizing their kids can't do fractions in middle and high school, when that starts as an elementary school standard.

I don't think I've ever had a conversation on what my kid was supposed to know at the end of the grade, besides reading past state tests on my own.

The B7 bus is so unhinged. Either it's 5 minutes early (leaving before it's "scheduled departure"), or 10 minutes late after disappearing off the bus tracker. @mta

9yo reading a @ReadWorks passage and has to answer this question. I understand trying to portray anger in a passage, but this somehow reads to me as normalizing violence?

Myrna is the daughter in this passage. Imagine if the father was angry and did this in front of the kid?

Something has gone very wrong if @placenyc_org thinks that *I* am a good candidate for their hateful rhetoric. Place is Everything wrong with parents in NYC education and I firmly reject any endorsement they might have given.

4) trans women are women, trans men are men, non-binary people are valid, and transgender and diverse sexually acceptance is literally suicide prevention.

And 5) all CEC members should be working towards the best academic and school experience for All students, and one cannot be a good parent representative if one is racist, sexist, transphobic, ableist, or only focuses their advocacy on their own child(ren).

Wtf is this midnight to 2am shuttle to the taxi area at JFK Terminal 4/@Delta ? With ZERO ADA accomodations, sure, no problem, just lift your suitcase onto this crowded bus in freezing weather, that's not a problem.

Is it really almost an hour wait for the @NYCTBus B83 at Broadway Junction? The 9:52 was officially cancelled, the next bus on bus time is 10:28 (so there were 3 busses cancelled??!?)

The 10:14 showed up, not on bus time, but that's still a huge time between busses for an area with zero subways.

Rewatching #Wandavision while stress baking. A few things from #AgathaAllAlong : 1) there is a Black Heart to signify the visit from Mr. and Mrs. Hart.

Vision wants to name the kid Billy, after William Shakespeare, saying "All the world's a stage. All the men and women, merely players."

Meaning Wanda was the one wanting to name the kid Tommy, who ends up with the powers of her brother.

Dear @OMNY @MTA @NYCTSubway , when is the "Ride Limit Exceeded" glitch going to be fixed? As a parent who travels with my child, I need to be able to swipe twice.

What good is tap to pay for Families if the second tap @NYCTSubway gives me a "Ride Limit Exceeded"? Is OMNY and @MTA biased against families? And having my child on the other side of the gates?

Another month another @NYCTBus complaint. B7 shows up 5 minutes before it is supposed to leave the first stop, says the next is 20 minutes away. As I call a cab to get to my meeting, a B7 shows up, so there are two busses two minutes apart. Great use of drivers, there.
