I mentioned that at every parent meeting. You are right on!!! 🥴
Many parents will say they want a coach who holds their child accountable… Until the coach holds some of their children accountable. Then we need a meeting, two administrators, game film, witness statements, and possibly congressional oversight.

Equitable grading is grade inflation which equals higher graduation rates. But it also means some students are years behind in reading and math while the graduation rates say they’re doing just fine. How did we get here?

Education absolutely refuses to reckon with one simple, undeniable fact: Some people are simply smarter than others

This is one of the best and most moving political ads I have ever seen. New York... Vote BLAKEMAN for Governor this November. There are tons of 9/11 families in NY who feel this way. This type of pain doesn't fade. These kinds of wounds never fully heal. Do it for them.

Idiot! 👇🏼
The SAVE America Act has never been about securing elections. The midterm election is just weeks away, and House Republicans want to immediately implement legislation that would upend our elections and make it harder for millions of Americans to vote.

We are teaching in an age where accountability has shifted almost entirely away from students and parents and onto TEACHERS.

My school district paid BIG money to a motivational speaker to “motivate” teachers. He was awful. This is how clueless many districts are. Teachers don’t need motivational speeches. They need support, accountability, and fewer distractions from actually teaching.

We've known for over a decade that advanced degrees have little to no measurable impact on teacher effectiveness. Therefore, it's wild that we’ve normalized teachers spending thousands of dollars and years of their lives earning degrees that leaves them no more effective in the classroom than they were before. Are there other fields of work that have this problem or is it exclusively education?

There is a complete professional development void in education. Administrators should stop looking for outside fixes and tap into the professionals in their own buildings. Plenty of teachers and employees have decades of experience and have seen it all. Let them take the lead.

Hey Educators. What word/phrase annoys you the second you hear it? I’ll start…”Differentiated Instruction”

We ALL know that the reason you are against voter ID is to keep open the option to cheat. Didn't you plead guilty to election law violations in the past? You, sir, are fooling no one.

Serious question: Why do neighboring school districts each need their own full central office staff? Do 4 nearby districts really need 4 separate math curriculum consultants? Couldn’t SOME services be shared to save taxpayers millions?

BREAKING: Western Michigan HC Lance Taylor says there were ZERO SECONDS left before his player touched the ball. “I know when I looked up at the clock, it was past 0 before we touched it” The commissioner is now involved. There will be an investigation.

You are ratioed EVERY time when you bring this subject up...which is about every single day. But you know that. You are following orders from party bosses. Not representing the wishes of the vast majority of your constituents is what you are best at. Congratulations.

Every child in the 9th grade should have to watch the National Geographic documentary of 9/11 from beginning to end. It should be mandatory in order to graduate high school. This is how the next generations truly understand the gravity of what occurred that day.

I think that Trump renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America is pointless and stupid. Wanna know what else I think is dumb? The fact left-wingers are triggered about this after they spent the last decade plus renaming sports teams, public schools and universities, streets and highways, food and condiment brands, and redefining half the dictionary altogether. Here’s a list of some in case you forgot: • Washington Redskins ➡️ Commanders • Cleveland Indians ➡️ Guardians • Stanford Indians ➡️ Cardinals • Loudoun County Raiders ➡️ Captains • Edmonton Eskimos ➡️ Elks • Columbus Day ➡️ Indigenous Peoples’ Day • Lee–Jackson Day ➡️ eliminated • Robert E. Lee High School ➡️ John Lewis High • Jefferson Davis Highway ➡️ Richmond Highway • Mount McKinley ➡️ Denali • Fort Bragg ➡️ Fort Liberty • Fort Hood ➡️ Fort Cavazos • Boy Scouts of America ➡️ Scouting America • Aunt Jemima ➡️ Pearl Milling Company • Uncle Ben’s Rice ➡️ Ben’s Original • Eskimo Pie ice cream bars ➡️ Edy’s Pie • Land O’Lakes ➡️ removed the Indian, but kept the land • Illegal alien ➡️ undocumented worker • Hispanic ➡️ Latinx (a term Hispanics did not want and do not use) • Mother ➡️ birthing person • Anchor baby ➡️ child of noncitizens • black ➡️ Black • Breastfeeding ➡️ chest feeding • Inmate / prisoner / convict / felon ➡️ justice-involved person • Ex-con / ex-felon ➡️ returning citizen • “Gender” as a biological fact interchangeable with “sex” to being a social construct • Fat ➡️ plus-sized • Master bedroom ➡️ primary bedroom • Manhole ➡️ utility hole And so on and so on. . .
