Tennessee ranks 45th in funding public education. With @GovBillLee universal vouchers, projection of two-thirds of recipients have never attended public school. Tennessee will now be responsible to fund two systems.
AZ vouchers as a cautionary tale: $1 billion a year in private school tuition; 45% of the students never attended public school; & a big chunk of the rest left A-rated schools. So much for helping needy students in struggling schools. 12news.com/article/news/e…

This is damn right. Science and Social Studies are being sacrificed.
The biggest time-suck isn't even SEL, it's ELA. A 2-hour "literacy block" focused on non-transferable "skills and strategies" of limited efficacy steals time from science, social studies, and the arts which builds the knowledge and vocabulary foundational to mature literacy.
Awesome!
The final scene of The Wonder Years took place on the Fourth Of July and man it hits hard as the years continue to pass

OTD: 07/04/2003🇺🇸 Albert Pujols takes Kerry Wood deep after a high & tight heater. Mike Shannon proceeds to give one of the greatest calls of all-time. “Hello 4th of July” RIP Mike🕊️
At 20, everyone feels invincible. At 40, the cracks can start to show. At 60, those who prioritized their health are running with their grandkids, while others are managing medications and joint pain. At 70, one group is traveling, while the other is just trying to get out of a…
People need to go to prison Senator Josh Hawley “What you're telling us is these big insurance companies went to a consulting firm, McKinsey, and asked them to design a program to help rip off policyholders?” “That is correct, sir” Josh Hawley “And that has that been…
“Still the Same” is a classic rock song by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, released in 1978 as the lead single from their album Stranger in Town. Written by Bob Seger, the track showcases his signature heartland rock style. It peaked at #4 on Billboard x.com/JVPALT2/status…
There’s a guy who spent decades battling obesity, but nothing worked long-term. Then he cuts sugar, refined carbs, and seed oils. He loses 80 pounds of fat. Keeps it off for 7+ years. Runs his first half marathon. Then a full marathon (at 58). Builds more strength in his late…
“Be grateful for what you have while you’re in pursuit of what you want.” —Jon Engelson 1/3
"All you ever hear is Bench, Munson and Fisk. Nobody ever talks about Ted Simmons. He’s the most underrated catcher. He’s never got the recognition he deserves. But where can you find a catcher that can do all the things Simmons can do? He hits better than any of them and calls…
The harshest critics of educators are usually the ones who’d quit 45 minutes into 1st period.
Yogi Berra caught 117 doubleheaders. Of course, after you’ve manned a machine gun at Omaha Beach on D-Day, it takes a little more than that for you to beg off of work.
50 years of “weight training is bad for you” to land at “everyone should weight train”, 30 years of “creatine is bad for you” to land at “creatine good for your brain & body”… “the mouth vs nose breathing thing is silly…” to “mouth breathing is bad for teeth, brain, face ”…

SEC provided 7-page document to media showing the “regular season gauntlet” that SEC teams face in league play. Says SEC: “No other conference has a regular season as grueling as the SEC’s”
Between the 2008–09 and 2018–19 academic years, the number of students completing traditional teacher education programs in the U.S. dropped by more than one-third! Why? Because the workload teachers face is no longer matched by the pay, respect, or value they deserve.
Of all the baseball feats I’ve witnessed in my lifetime, the most amazing by far is Tony Gwynn hitting .338 over 20 years. Never worse than .309 from 1983 through 2001. His entire career was a hot streak. And he was a great human being. Absolute legend.
