Disbelief.
Educators quipped about not being able to find a well-funded school anywhere.

Fantasy!

When was that?
@killgored
Where? Another country maybe.

Non-existent.
@wejustplay.allday
Where!!?!?!?!
@ramsowera
Mental health support.
It’s very clear that we need more mental health services in our schools to address trauma.

Counseling services that not only the support the kids, but also their families, parents and teachers!

A school where kids don’t have to save their mental health problems for two days a week.

@magzterb
More supportive services.
In addition to mental health services, a well-funded school includes school nurses, aides, paraprofessionals, librarians and more!

Full-time aides, counselors, nurses.

Curriculum & materials for learning.
Classrooms are missing basic supplies for their students like ink, paper and more.

Every student and educator has the materials and support needed for learning every day!

Smaller class sizes.
We’ll say it again and again if we have to. Class size matters.

Small class sizes!

Appropriate class sizes. 25 at elementary (we have 4th grade classes at 35 at my school!)

More support for special education.
Special education educators must get what they need to address student needs.

State and federal funding for Special Education so students needs can be met adequately.
@sbittner319
Special education getting the staff and resources it deserves (and is legally entitled to!)
@admarinelli

An equitable, healthy environment for all.
We must work toward a healthy environment and quality public education for all of our students, educators, families and local communities.

An equitable school doesn’t exist in my community. It may somewhere, but not here.
