Alright alright...it's Friday evening and I'm angry at DESE, so it's time for GIF snark that may or may not make sense. Some of these may make no sense, but...here we go!
DESE receiving input from SCs and doing nothing with it
DESE receiving input from SCs and doing nothing with it
DESE to SCs and superintendents and community members and literally EVERYONE
DESE to teachers before giving them 10 days of extra PD. But they're optional so you probably don't even need them...
DESE to students and teachers as they go back into schools with no additional resources. This is the Yoda equivalent to thoughts and prayers.
DESE disregarding scientific evidence as they push people back into classrooms using cherry-picked data for which there is not consensus, and hoping for the best.
DESE to teachers even though they took all summer to give them any guidance around safety in their buildings and still is pushing them into those buildings even though many of them don't have adequate ventilation
DESE, as they push communities to cram students into schools in clear violation of the no gatherings larger than 25 people policy (it doesn't apply to schools)
Yoda is not always DESE!
Students signing on to their remote learning session where their teacher is simultaneously teaching in-person:

Me, to DESE!
Teachers going into classrooms getting ready to teach in person and remotely at the same time, while also possibly having to separate kids who will inevitably want to hug and play with each other
DESE to school districts when we inevitably do poorly on MCAS because we went through a global pandemic that disproportionately hurt already disadvantaged communities.
And then they'll try to slap a receivership on us

Here's teachers attempting to teach in a socially distant classroom. Those kids have already lifted their face shields 17 times in the span of an hour and the teacher has said "well, screw it...might as well keep teaching"
DESE, but also without giving districts any additional funding.
Replace Master with Commissioner, or Secretary of Education, or Governor.
Teachers walking into the classroom and putting their health on the line for no good reason
oh and #maedu for the far-longer-than-I -thought-it-would-be Yoda GIF thread
