Vital City | Why Isn’t Education at the Center of the New York City Mayoral Race? A former chancellor and an assemblyman say Mamdani, Cuomo and Sliwa haven't been talking nearly enough about one of the mayor’s core responsibilities.

Wow! #education #literacy #dyslexia www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/why... @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social Until All Can Read!

Will @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social ask @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the others to define #dyslexia and explain how they will serve all #dyslexic students, including those 6th-12th that have not been taught to read?

Should all kids be taught to read #NYCReads or should kids whose parents can afford educational toys and test prep get special treatment? @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Our ballot initiatives are now at 8th grade level. Still that leaves out way too many people. #literacy #dyslexia #nycreads

If @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social takes @NYCReads deeper, so all kids learn to read, we would need tons more G&T schools. #Literacy should be the priority #dyslexia

And #NYCReads! We hope for continued leadership in literacy so all kids, even #dyslexic students learn to read!

Will @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social strengthen #NYCReads? Will the 3rd to 12 #dyslexic students get quality MTSS or IEPs? Will there be a #literacy at City Hall?

@percivaleverett.bsky.social I assigned "James" in my "Language and Literacy" course and I am having the students identify examples of "language as a protective factor". It's an OLA course but it seems my students are very engaged. Thanks for writing this.

n NYC, if bikes have to go 15MPH, shouldn't cars, which are much more dangerous, have the same standard? Since cyclists are criminalized, can we criminalize drivers? 3x the fine if there is just one person in the car, 2x if only two are in the car! @nycdot.bsky.social @stevevaccarolaw.bsky.social

If kids can’t get #COVID vaccinations how many days of school will they miss? How many days of work will their parents miss? @npr.org

If you can read this, thank a teacher. And also a researcher. Education improves through research and excellent research requires funding.

Yes, the laws that eventually became the IDEA existed before Department of Education. Who will enforce them now?
