Did you know since 1999, the start of the so called “education reform”movement, the Florida Education law book had nearly doubled, going from 680+ pages public schools must follow to 1,330 pages. How about FL DOGE look into that @GovRonDeSantis? #LetKidsLearn #LetTeachersTeach
Question - if someone speeds, let’s say 5 miles over the speed limit, are they a criminal? Why or why not?

Over the weekend, FEA President @andrewsparfea spoke at the @FloridaPTA Leadership Conference, joining dedicated parents and education leaders from across the state. Big thanks to Florida PTA for standing strong with our families, public schools, and communities!
Wouldn’t it be cool if lawmakers produced a bill that was not just going to barely pass, but would pass with unanimous support? You know a bill that actually helped all Americans and did not pit people against each other. Just imagine.
Why do Florida’s students feel they are overtested? Why does Florida rank 50th in average teacher pay? Why does it seem that Florida does not support public schools? Watch to see why. Then share your story, feaweb.org/shareyourstory.

Este #DíaDeLosCaídos, hacemos una pausa para honrar a los valientes hombres y mujeres que hicieron el máximo sacrificio al servicio de nuestra nación. Su valentía y entrega nunca serán olvidadas.
Today we honor the men and woman who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We remember their selflessness and bravery. We remember their families. Take a moment today a remember and honor those who fought for this country and our freedoms.

We must break the status quo of testing, underfunding, limiting curriculum and blaming teachers & staff. Just let us teach!
FL's Pre-K-12 ranking fell from 10th to 22nd in one year. Add that to: 📉 Critical teacher/staff shortages 💸 50th in avg teacher pay 🏫 Political interference in schools & colleges Public ed is in crisis—and higher ed could be next. 📰 @usnews: bit.ly/3F5WUZ1
Andrew Spar, the president of the @FloridaEA , said “lawmakers had a chance to actually do something to address the massive teacher and staff shortage” by doing things like raising salaries in a state that ranks 50th in teacher pay but took a pass. orlandosentinel.com/2025/05/07/flo…
