Can we calculate one half? Easy, right?
How about two-thirds? Harder, but there's a quick trick.

At the United Federation of Teachers Delegate Assembly, good thing someone knew that 2/3rds ≠ 66.5%

Fractions at the Delegate Assembly
Some teachers tell kids “fractions are your friends” but in the United States that’s often not the case. We end up with a lot of adults who feel uncertain around them. How many jo…

"The people doing the work - teachers, paras, secretaries, therapists, counselors, etc - should have more control over our working conditions, over how our schools are organized and run, over how classes are organized, over what's in curricula, and over what is taught. (continued)

Today we remember the victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. It happened in Manhattan on Saturday, March 25, 1911, and was the deadliest industrial disaster in the history of the city, and one of the deadliest in U.S. history. This tragedy ultimately led to significant labor reforms.

Today we gathered once again to pay tribute to the 146 lives lost in the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist factory in 1911.

More than a century later, it’s crucial to stand together to protect the hard-fought gains of the labor movement, and expand protections to all workers.

This is an earned benefit. Every person who gets Social Security has paid for it. When they close a Social Security office, it’s to make it harder for people to get their Social Security. - @rweingarten.bsky.social

You don't have to be one of the thousands of AFT members on our town hall call to send a letter to your members of Congress. They must urge the president to reinstate the protection of schools, hospitals and churches against ICE.

Let's be clear on the law (Plyler v. Doe)

All children have a right to equal access to a free public education, regardless of the immigration status.

Our union’s position is clear: We will continue to fight for schools to remain safe zones. Our students deserve an education free from fear, humiliation and trauma. Children should feel safe and protected at all times, and when they are with us in our schools, we will ensure that they do.

Important. But I’m not comfortable just standing pat.

How do we defend the law?
And how do we protect our students if the government attempts to violate the law or repeal the protections?

Reminder: All students in the US have a right to public education regardless of immigration status. This is the law of the land, at least for now.
