Lo siento, no puedo salir. El colonialismo me obligó a vivir en un lugar donde me da una depresión estacional brutal. Tal vez la próxima vez

Some thoughts 🤔💭

I want to apologize for being inactive this summer. After getting rejected from my phd program I was so heartbroken I needed some space to be present with myself, family and friends. I'm doing much better and im feeling inspired to start using my knowledge and platform to help my island and people!

6/ A quienes están en esta misma búsqueda: los veo. Y aunque el camino se vea cuesta arriba, tengo fe en que no estamos solos. Algún día, tal vez pronto, construiremos algo distinto. Más justo. Más humano. Gracias por leer. 💔🇵🇷✨

5/ No escribo esto para rendirme. Escribo esto porque sé que no soy la única. Muchos estamos soñando, luchando, buscando cómo volver sin perdernos en el intento.

4/ Amo la isla. Amo su gente. Y quiero devolverle lo que me ha dado. Pero a veces me pregunto si el sacrificio es sostenible. ¿Se puede vivir del amor a la patria cuando el sistema no permite respirar?

3/ Con el costo de vida subiendo por los cielos—rentas infladas por los alquileres a corto plazo, compras carísimas por la Ley Jones, y cuentas acumulándose (préstamos estudiantiles incluidos)... ¿cómo sobrevive uno? ¿cómo lucha sin agotarse?

2/ Mi sueño es contribuir a la transformación del sistema de educación pública en la isla. Lo llevo en el alma. Pero, ¿cómo se empieza ese camino cuando el salario promedio de un maestro es $2,600 al mes?

🧵1/ He estado buscando trabajo en el campo de la educación en Puerto Rico con la esperanza de mudarme para estar más cerca de mi familia y amistades en la isla. Pero seré honesta... el proceso me ha roto un poco el corazón.

10. Let’s reflect. Let’s get loud. Let’s build something better. Because our kids deserve more than survival—they deserve to thrive. #PublicEducation #SchoolReform #EquityInEducation #EndTheSchoolToPrisonPipeline

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

9. We deserve a system where: ✅ Parents aren’t punished for spending time with their kids ✅ Kids aren’t criminalized for being poor or neurodivergent ✅ Teachers are respected, paid, and supported ✅ Schools are hubs of joy, healing, and creativity—not pipelines to prison

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

8. It's time to sit with the discomfort and ask the hard questions. Why do we allow this? Who benefits from the chaos? What would it mean to build systems that center children, families, and communities—not capitalism?

100

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

7. This isn’t just about education. It’s about values. We need to ask: What kind of society are we building when we normalize this level of neglect and call it "normal"?

110

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

6. We are watching the most vulnerable population in our society—children—bear the burden of systemic greed, disinvestment, and generational poverty. Why? So a few people at the top can keep hoarding wealth while the rest of us barely scrape by.

100

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

5. Meanwhile, educators know the ugly truth: 💔 If a child can’t read by 3rd grade, the system has already mapped out a prison bed for them. Yes, prison beds are projected based on reading levels. That should disturb every single one of us.

110

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

4. We make massive budget cuts to the very things that keep students engaged—arts, music, sports. We replace joy with constant testing. And we pour billions into assessments that don’t improve outcomes—just stress and burnout.

100

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

3. The truth? Most families don't get the time to truly live together. When you're in survival mode 24/7, there's no room for quality time, healing, or joy. And yet—we expect kids to show up every day ready to succeed in a system that is actively failing them.

100

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

2. Children spend 40+ hours a week in school, and we expect them to learn, behave, and thrive—even when they're painfully aware that everyone around them is struggling. Their parents are exhausted. Their teachers are underpaid. Their communities are underfunded. Children are so aware and smart.

110

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

1. We need to have an honest conversation about how public education in America has become a glorified day care system—not by design, but by necessity. Because when families are forced to work endlessly just to survive, schools become the only consistent structure kids have. 🧵👇

Of course I have generational trauma.... my people were colonized and enslaved 🙄

10/ Let this be a call to action. Not just for more counselors. But for systems that feed, house, and nurture kids without question. Because prevention can’t just be individual. It has to be structural. 🖤 Rest in peace to the student we lost. We will keep fighting for the ones still here.

010

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

9/ If you're in education and you’re feeling this too: You're not alone. Your heartbreak is real. Your exhaustion is valid. And your care is revolutionary.

100

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

8/ We, as educators, social workers, counselors, and staff—are holding it all. And we’re tired. We’re grieving. We’re angry. And we’re still showing up. Because our students deserve better than this world has given them.

100

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

7/ We ask why young people are struggling—but rarely interrogate the systems we’ve built: A society that demands performance but denies support. That glamorizes grind culture while shaming rest. That treats therapy like a luxury instead of a right.

100

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

6/ The mental health crisis we’re in didn’t come from nowhere. It’s the result of policy. Of capitalism. Of survival mode being the default for too many families for too many generations.

110

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

5/ We tell kids to "work hard and you’ll make it." But what does “make it” mean in a country where generational wealth is the real key to success? Where the bootstraps were always a myth?

100

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

4/ The truth is, many of our students are suffering—silently and deeply. 🍽️ Lack of food 🏚️ Unstable housing 💸 No financial safety net 📚 The crushing pressure to succeed in a system designed for their failure

100

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

3/ We are expected to comfort students, reassure families, manage our own heartbreak, and keep going. And it makes me wonder: How did we get here? How did the burden of holding society’s fractures fall so heavily on educators and school staff?

100

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

2/ In the aftermath, I’ve been reflecting on how much we—those of us who work in education—are expected to hold. Not just grief. Not just lesson plans. But entire communities.

110

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

🧵1/ Recently, I experienced something I never thought I’d have to face so early in my career—a student death by suicide. Nothing prepares you for this kind of loss. Not the degrees. Not the training. Not even your own strength.

122

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

10/ I still believe in what I do. But I also believe we need to radically reimagine what education could look like — less like a prison, more like a place of care, healing, and possibility.

010

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

9/ As educators and counselors, we need to constantly ask: Am I supporting liberation, or am I reinforcing oppression? Because sometimes, even well-intentioned roles can become complicit in deeply unjust systems.

110

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

8/ It’s not that schools are inherently bad. But the system they operate in was never designed to liberate marginalized kids. It was designed to sort, contain, and produce obedient workers.

110

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

7/ We ask children to focus in school when their families are in survival mode. When rent is late. When food is scarce. When home isn’t safe or stable. And then we punish them for “not trying hard enough.”

111

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

6/ Let’s not forget the role of poverty. Many of my students' parents work 40–80 hours a week just to survive. They’re too exhausted to parent, to follow up, to engage. Some can’t even read or write themselves — a systemic failure that spans generations.

110

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

5/ Schools become practice grounds for carceral systems. Order is prioritized over healing. Silence is rewarded more than expression. And when you're a counselor in this system, the cognitive dissonance is real.

120

Mango 🥭| Reformar la Educación Pública de Puerto Rico @mayanmango.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

4/ But what about kids with trauma? Kids with disabilities? Kids from unstable homes? They’re often caught in a loop of punishment without actual support. Detentions, suspensions, referrals — rinse and repeat. It’s not accountability. It’s containment.
