Your demand that class size reduction should “pause” would leave more than a quarter million high-poverty students, most of them Black and Hispanic, in overcrowded classes for many more years, perhaps forever.
Is @chalkbeatNY bias against class size & equitable learning conditions for public school kids influenced by their own @gatesfoundation @WaltonFamilyFdn funding?
.@AGZimmerman & @chalkbeatNY have repeatedly quoted Matt Chingos who made his name opposing every class size reduction program that ever existed in pieces funded by Gates. Chingos latest screed was funded by Gates, Walton & and Robin Hood - all pro-charter funders.
Where was the Class Size Working Group that worked on this mandate 2 years? I dont recall any phone call or email to ask our input. Statements by orgs that are not current parents leaders and dont know how this Law will be beneficial for ALL our children. @ChalkbeatNY
Another highly biased @chalkbeatny article which quotes not a single advocate or parent who supports class size reduction but instead hypes POV of anti-class size groups funded by Gates & pro-charter billionaires chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025/1…
OMG please someone take the mic away from this man..opinion pieces masked as Ed reporting

I find it very strange that this reporter keeps writing articles against the class size law. The law has been passed and it should be universally applied regardless of the income level of the students in each school.

Chalkbeat cites its own flawed study purporting to show that disadvantaged students already have small enough classes but that's untrue. When schools analyzed by # & % of high-needs students, those at highest need LEAST likely to have small classes. classsizematters.org/wp-content/upl…

Did CB ever do a standalone article on inequitable distribution of teachers? Suburban poaching? Yet they cite a decades-long staffing disparity to editorialize against a once-in-a-lifetime CS law. 🤦 It’s fine, the Bx is used to first-year teachers as Chalkbeat covers the SHSAT.
Trump's Energy Department: We banned the phrase 'climate change'! Narrator: Yet in an unsurprising turn of events, the floods, fires, and heat waves continued to not give a fuck.
The US Energy Department has officially added ‘climate change’ and ‘emissions’ to banned words list, per POLITICO
Sorry, Steve--The Constitution isn't far left or far right. It's the basis on our democracy, and you're playing the terror card to try and overturn it. Won't work.
The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate…
Cuomo vs. Sliwa vs. Mamdani on schools & what Cuomo said to PLACE leaders at their education forum nycpublicschoolparents.blogspot.com/2025/09/cuomo-…
Thank you @ZohranKMamdani ! Yet once again @chalkbeatny shows its bias by framing class size law as union giveaway vs critical reform that most parents have yearned for and research strongly supports.
Mamdani visits IS 5 where classes will be reduced. He would not waiver from implementing the class size law. “The question of compliance has too often been a negotiation, as opposed to something that we are all equally working alongside to fulfill.” chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025/0…
*New* Zohran Mamdani’s campaign says it has hit the $8 million spending cap for the general election and will ask supporters to stop donating: nytimes.com/2025/09/05/nyr…

Looking to talk to NYC students, parents, educators and school staff who are doing a cellphone ban for the first time about their experience on the first day of school tomorrow. DM me if interested in speaking!
Weisberg & Vaderha "deeply involved in NYC response to a state mandate to sharply reduce class sizes — a task that will become even more complex as 80% of classes must meet the new caps by September 2026, and hundreds of schools do not have space for smaller classes." 1/
2/ First time Chalkbeat has mentioned critical lack of space as far as I know - despite many articles (many of them negative) on the subject of class size. chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025/0…
Pope Leo XIV prayed publicly on Sunday for the victims of the shooting at a Catholic school in Minnesota and called for an end to the "pandemic of arms, large and small." The U.S.-born pope spoke in English as he denounced the attack and the "logic of weapons" fueling wars…
To "get out of thinking" - is that what we want our schools to encourage students to do? cc @rweingarten
