As a teacher, I just can’t wait to go back to work after break. Respectful kids, supportive parents, lovely administrators, and ohh the money gonna make me the big bucks.

I would argue they are part of the reason for our country having such a class divide and obvious disparity of wealth

Boston estimates their property tax would be 10 times higher if they didn’t have non profit status it’s how they grow their endowment. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2009/5/21/harvards-role-as-a-nonprofit-harvard/ they masquerade as a nonprofit but are and act like a business

“Non Profit”

Yeah and they own like $500 million dollars worth of property so that checks out?

That makes me sad because I’m pretty sure Harvard owns like every other building in Cambridge

As a 15 year veteran teacher working in an affluent suburb of Boston, the pandemic did a number on our schools, teachers, parents, and kids. So many people have quietly quit their responsibilities. We have so many behavior problems, kids barely coming to school, parents that have totally checked out, and kids with unmonitored phones that are getting into all kinds of online shenanigans. I can’t even imagine what the situation is like in poor urban schools. Boston as a community and other communities will face social and communal problems for many years because of the dysfunction the pandemic left. Our leadership both in the state and city need to step up and do more. Not saying some of these issues weren’t there before, but things have definitely increased dramatically.
