Pub Ed Thread 🧵 I need to get this off my chest, so I will start with a few pictures. Photo 1 - On February 24, @DeAngelisCorey came to Dallas to debate the School Choice issue on a panel with me and @AllenWest and @NateSchatzline. Photo 2 - The following evening, Corey…
Oh @33YouSee
🔎#txlege State Rep. @BriscoeCain filed HR 33 commemorating the premiere of Season 14 of the King of the Hill animated television series. The show takes place in a fictional TX community of Arlen (based on Richardson), & returns after hiatus for the 14th season on August 4
⚠️🚨 Mayes Middleton was never here to help us — and he still isn’t. 🥺 He backed the very legislation that made #TxEd schools what they are today: underfunded, overtested, and micromanaged data-mining facilities harvesting the souls of TEXAS children. 🧠📊👶🏼 Laws that…
We need your HELP @mayes_middleton
Wild that @DrBone4TX is siding with a district police chief who built internal policies around violating FERPA, scapegoated parents to shield his own abusive indiscretions, and got fired for not having his @TCOLE certification—all on her watch as @RoundRockISD trustee. I guess…
Hello, Dr. Bone. Our founder’s legal history is irrelevant. @Mayes_Middleton’s lack of legal experience is an issue worth serious consideration given that the AG is responsible for issuing legal rulings that directly affect our ability to secure FAPE on behalf of our children.
Trump the Trojan horse for the Technocrats… Where is the right wing media? @benshapiro @dailywireplus @theblaze
Research shows these tests do not measure learning. Why are we still wasting money?
The legal challenge needs to be with AI grading. School districts should not have to pay $50 per student for a human to actually grade their tests. Can you tell me why it costs 90 million each year for computerized, AI graded tests? Who is getting all the money?
Homelessness is a HUUUGE business. I could tell you so much on how people profit off of homelessness
You are so right. When I saw this billboard in LA I knew it meant social impact investing. Any social ill can be turned into an investment vehicle. Austin was first to roll out ID2020 on their homeless population.
I agree with the author, Dr. Pat Huff 💯 to get rid of the Texas Accountability System! I was a teacher in the 80's before this system became the political game it is today! I worked in Title One schools most of my career as a teacher, supervisor & assistant principal!
Did you know The American Federation for Children fired him? He's complained about teacher's salaries but never disclosses his triple figure salary.
Really? Tell us about charter schools using tax payer money…
So many people stood up for you against Abbotts lock-downs and thought you were a warrior for basic human rights. You became exactly what you were fighting against. Enjoy your "endorsement endorphins", ma'am. It's not the flex you think it is.
Ken Paxton still hasn't filed an investigation into PowerSchool/Bain Captial that impacted millions of Texans....nor gone after the schools that still haven't reported to AG or notified families.
TEE , charter schools & all law enforcement associations are exempt, proving that this isn’t about taxpayers, it’s about censorship
Maybe you can’t but I damn sure can and did! Don’t ever underestimate a momma whose kids have been hurt.
They don’t know how to make a course correction, even though the data shows they have not helped schools at all.
Speaking of Sandy Kress—President Bush’s official lead advisor on No Child Left Behind policies 😱— Here he is,👇🏻 tagging all the #txlege &/or #EdTech accounts that may need some fresh angles by which to weaponize student data against *OUR* 📚 neighborhood schools🎓 to help push…
@Kress_Sandy & @1in5advocacy are back to bully LID/BIP parents if they make good points, too.
