This breaks my heart. My dad taught me 2 respect authority, but this untruth must b addressed. In my 37 yrs in public ed, I have never seen an educator teach anyone 2 hate their country. Just the opposite in
@WestwoodISD
where we teach love&respect of our country!

Shameful the leader of Texas is resorting to tactics that are prohibited in public schools.
Harassment=name-calling
Bullying=imbalance of power against their peers, either thru words or actions
No one is above the expectation. Time to hold everyone accountable.

Gov
@GregAbbott_TX
now targeting school voucher opponents with his vetoes. He is now saying that certain bills can only be considered in a future special session after about a voucher bill passes
#txlege
Oh
@GregAbbott_TX
, I see what you did there. Manipulation at its finest. Taking an article that isn’t even about Texas and stirring up fear.
If I was a Texas Senator or Representative supporting his scheme, I would be worried about going down with him!!

Reading & math scores plummet as racial and sexual activism replace academics in schools.
Instead of prioritizing data-proven methods to close gaps in literacy & math, some public schools have spent time on political agendas.
We’re changing that in TX.
My good friend and trusted colleague,
@OttTempleISD
, did an amazing job giving testimony in opposition to SB 8 during the Texas House Pub Ed Committee hearing.

I’m dumbfounded when a House Representative that has stood AGAINST vouchers tries to make us believe they are good because SB 8 reduces STAAR.
There is NO concession that will make vouchers good.
Stop trying to sell us a bill of goods!!

I have only been in a leadership position for 26 years so not sure I know much.
I do know that if you need a “carrot” to move your initiative forward then you are not a leader.
@GovAbbott
sir, you are not a leader. Time for a change!

Many think we will have vouchers this session but I say it is time to go to work for public schools!!
Vote your constituency & not the will of a couple of people!

Calling ALL advocates of public ed!
SB 8, which will be heard in House Pub Ed on Monday, would create the largest voucher program in the US. Testimony will be by invitation ONLY but your voice can be heard!

Many nuggets of wisdom from
@DangeRussWilson
!
1) Mindset must be built every day
2) When under pressure-get to neutral, state reality, keep it simple, visualize success
3) Love Big, Serve Big, Forgive Big
4) Don’t waste energy on fear/failure

These comments by
@MikeMorath
r concerning! While I’m trying to understand, I have to wonder if these statements r driven by:
A)
@teainfo
leadership is out of touch w/reality
B) This is more about $ & a contract w/vendor & not about kids
C) All the above
The three questions we need to ask students:
1) What problem do you want to solve?
2) How do you want to solve that problem?
3) What do you need to learn to solve that problem?
As educators, we enter in and add value after question

As a follower of Jesus, you are part of something larger than yourself. When you involve yourself in the community of believers, you get more out of your experience with God and His blessings in your life.

Some House Pub Ed Committee members saying SB 8 will eliminate STAAR.
Then
@tasanet
breaks it down & this doesn’t look like a reduction to state testing.
Clearly we need to slow down & understand the implications of SB 8.
Beginning to understand why some are moving quickly😳
Fantastic moments like this happen every day in every public school across Texas!
We need to talk less about vouchers, state assessment, A-F Ratings and begin celebrating the great work happening in every Texas Public School District!!
Let’s tell our stories!!

What is good for the goose is good for the gander!
If

wants to threaten those that oppose vouchers with primary challengers, let’s do the same.
As educators, we must unite & support candidates for a primary run against those that support vouchers!

Great leaders understand that the journey to success begins with the first step. Don’t wait for everything to align, just start! They also understand failure is part of the journey. Take risk! And lastly, we know the best is yet to come. Create your future!

Shining a light on SB 8 is making the intent very clear!
TEA Comm of Ed pushes STAAR Redesign which could lead to increasing low performing schools
SB 8 allows any student enrolled in a “D” or “F” campus access to voucher
