I cannot — I will not — stop fighting to get our kids learning. Too much of this city has lost sight of the fact that our students should be our only north star.
Sign our petition today to support Oakland’s kids and say no strike: change.org/p/keep-oakland…
Here are 5 reasons why the common goods proposal shouldn’t stand between our kids and their education (thread):
Opinion: This time, striking Oakland teachers have gone too far trib.al/7yPL0la
After the @OaklandNAACP has called out this strike for what it is – a threat to racial justice and educational equity — we’re going on day 4 of disrupted learning because of a common goods proposal that shouldn’t even be a part of negotiations.
The @OaklandNAACP is right. Learning disruption has devastating effects and, as an organization that has been fighting racial injustice for over a century, they are well aware of how this strike will impact Black families disproportionately in Oakland.
We may all be thinking of compensation – and we agree teachers deserve to be paid well. But, as you can see in this graphic, the District’s proposal includes significant raises: Every Oakland teacher would receive a salary increase of at least 13%, and as much as 22%.
In Oakland, only 3 out of 10 kids can read or do math on grade level. Improving their academic outcomes should be the center of contract negotiations. It’s time to put our kids first. Add your name to support Oakland’s kids! t.ly/HTJP
Kids learning in school should be central to any negotiation between OEA and OUSD. Instead, we’re all stuck in the normalized pattern of our kids being used as bargaining chips. This status quo has to stop. kron4.com/news/bay-area/…

OAKLAND, Calif. (KRON) – The Oakland Education Association, a teachers’ union, is giving its members one week to vote to authorize a strike even as negotiations continue with the Oakland Unified Sc…
Our kids have lost so much over the last few years, the last thing they should lose is more learning time. @TheOaklandREACH has joined @CAParentPower to start this petition highlighting a public sentiment that does NOT support strikes that disrupt learning.

Yu Ming Charter School’s demographic makeup, and its success, show how the usual ways of thinking about diversity and equity in schools are becoming outmoded. nyer.cm/KUZmJvl
Prof: There's no 1 way to teach reading. Me: If you had 20 students and lost a finger or toe for every one who didn't learn to read, how would you teach it? Prof: Thats a bit dramatic. Me: Disconnecting from the cost of illiteracy produces a dramatically nearsighted thesis.

The good news this Friday is that @TheOaklandREACH is out here empowering team players and lifelong learners to be part of the solution to get our babies reading. Take this work as an example. Wherever you are, together we can #REACHforMore.
We're out in Oakland recruiting literacy liberators who will be trained to teach reading to 5,500 K-2 students in OUSD. When it comes to our kids reading, we don’t ask for seats at tables that don’t work — we create our own, and bring our own chairs. We ain’t playing!
Want to get PAID while making sure our babies can READ!

Outrageous! Only 20% of OUSD middle schoolers are proficient in math. How does vandalism and harassment solve that? Instead of developing solutions, the teachers union is focused on a recall. It’s not new OUSD has budget problems. Anyone who says otherwise is magical thinking.
