@cslape Cognia is the huge accrediting body used here in GA and it’s merging with EL education. So it will be setting standards and offering the curriculum to meet standards. NOT OK.

[Philana Nowak @3MomWarrior]

@cslape Get rid of the CDC whole
Child model, teacher unions, Ed tech companies and the education associations (superintendent associations, school counselors). And then get rid of Cognia.

@PhilHollowayEsq @JayBarlowBot @FIFAWorldCup Prices are high, plenty of seats are available. I was down there today for something else and it was an empty. Traffic getting in was easy for the time we needed to be there. The news was showing the “crowds” for economic impact and it was a normal summer ATL day.

I ask this all the time! Never get a good answer! But it’s grown by over 20%, if not more. Salaries are huge! 6 people in communications made a combined $1 million. That’s insane. That could fund 14 teachers at 70k per year!

A good question for superintendents: “What percentage of your central office staff improve student learning outcomes in measurable ways?”

This 15 year old girl was nonconsenually and unknowingly touched, groped, and violated by a man.

This is beyond a civil offense. In a just society, every adult who allowed for this scenario to play out would be criminally charged.

A teacher just said the quiet part out loud: it's time to go back to the old ways.

Maureen Mulvaney, an English teacher at Washburn High School in south Minneapolis, pulled the technology out of her classroom. No screens. No shortcuts. Just Pen, paper, books.

@mimibrowntv @breakfastclubam Keep showing us who you are! Leaving the courtroom before the sentencing. My son is my son for life, and I would never leave at that moment. Kids don’t grow up doing things like this, thinking they will walk away without consequence. He is a product of a parenting failure.

@Williamjkelly Always pandering to the voter base & party instead of being accountable to the people of the state of IL. Always performing for the camera by shifting blame. He’s repulsive.

I’m trying to understand the left’s argument supporting Karmelo Anthony.

Karmelo followed Austin Metcalf into the Memorial high school tent. In high school athletics, this is a provocation.

15 times, Karmelo was asked to leave the tent. He didn’t.

He then challenged Austin Metcalf to touch him and “find out.”

Someone pushed Karmelo. Per video, maybe two minor pushes.

Witnesses testify Austin Metcalf did NOT punch Karmelo or do anything that would cause serious bodily harm.

So Karmelo had no reasonable belief—the standard for self-defense—that his life was in danger.

Nonetheless, Karmelo immediately grabs a knife from his bag —which he was carrying illegally, no knives allowed on school property— and stabs Austin Metcalf in the heart, killing him.

Karmelo then throws the knife and runs away.

Moments later, after police arrest him and refer to him as the “alleged” suspect, Karmelo admits he killed Metcalf, saying: “I’m not alleged, I did it.”

So—

The jury was NOT “all white.” There were Asians, Hispanics & Arabs reportedly on the jury.

Karmelo’s lawyer wasn’t a public defender, he was a private attorney.

The left claims “racism!”

But facts matter.

There is ZERO evidence of racism.

And all the facts demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt that Karmelo Anthony murdered Austin Metcalf.

If you think Karmelo should walk free, YOU are the racist because you’re basing that on his skin color alone while ignoring the reality of the crime he committed.

@Citizen_of_KS @JamesAFurey What’s remarkable is that I had an asst super tell me that a student in my kid’s class has rights, as if my kid doesn’t have the same rights. Both are in the same special ed class. When did there become a hierarchy of rights in the sped class? I was told to remove my kid.

[Citizen of Kansas @Citizen_of_KS]

FAPE is the most widely used catch all excuse for why disruptive, often violent, students are kept in a general education classroom. Somehow those students have a right to an appropriate education which the other students and teacher in the room provide, while they destroy that right to an appropriate education for everyone else in the room.

FAPE is a classic trolley scenario and education repeatedly chooses the one (that doesn’t even get anything out of being there) vs the many.

@NedStanley @lawyer4laws @marcportermagee We need to stop blaming Covid. Many schools did not close for extended periods of time & are still not closing the gaps. It’s the focus on social justice causes, equity & social emotional learning over traditional education-math, reading & writing.

[Tina Descovich 🇺🇸 @TinaDescovich]

The achievement gap widens. As a former school board member I can tell you that ed leaders track this number obsessively. Districts and states pour a ton of money into closing this gap.

[Derrick Evans @DerrickEvans4WV]

This is NUTS.

A Rhode Island School Cmte member posted a letter to Austin Metcalf’s dad:

“Your son is dead because you failed to teach him that black boys have boundaries.”

This is disgusting. @Linda_McMahon needs to defund this district for having psychos around children.

He shoved his fingers through her spandex, digitally penetrating her.

The victim shouted to her mom that his fingers were inside her "c**chie."

This is so disturbing. She's a 15-year-old girl & this young man assaulted her in public in a wrestling match.

UPDATE: N. Kingstown School Cmte member Jennifer Lima won't attend graduation today after promoting the murder of a child based on his race bc everyone is calling the school.

This is so on brand for Pritzker.

He blames Texas governor Greg Abbott for frittering $3B on illegals, leaving no money to negotiate with to keep the Bears.

It's never Pritzker's fault.

My favorite genre of Atlantic articles is the one where they present something as nuanced that has been obvious to conservatives all along

Decline in religion made politics more vitriolic

@Mom1234567890 @jenteach13 We found an admin that expensed her child’s airfare on the school CC. She is still employed, as is the person who approved it. They claimed it was an airline error. No, we are not stupid. The same expense report had one airfare & 3 travel insurance charges. Her, Hubs, Kiddo.
