Let me tell you a story. This is Susan Lung. She taught me to read and write in a single year when I was 7 years old. I've been looking for Susan, hoping to thank her in person, for almost twenty years. And then she surprised me at my reading last night.

This is Stephen Balch.

He’s a conspiracy theorist who called Biden’s election a “literal coup” and pushes White Replacement Theory.

The Texas State Board of Education just picked him to revise our social studies standards. The Big Lie is coming to a textbook near you.

Two Sessions ago teachers took notice of the #txlege focusing more on bathrooms than classrooms.

They spoke up, some seats flipped, and we got the biggest change to our school finance system in decades.

I hope teachers are paying attention now, because damn.

Important reminder...

@cdolat So much fun to see and visit with my former 5th graders...and Freshman English students. 💙💛

If your "reopening" plans don't include a robust, intentional, and well-funded effort to help students who are dealing with the loss of family members, neighbors, coaches, teachers, bus drivers, etc, then your "for the kids" mantra is hard for me to take seriously.

[Alma Gonzalez @507Tweets]

True...so very true.

If you avoid talking about American politics or history with your kids, experts say, you're teaching them that those conversations aren't important or appropriate. https://t.co/ekFsIxKKNz

MARCH: Teachers are going above and beyond.

APRIL: Teachers are heroes and deserve our support.

MAY: Teachers should be millionaires.

JUNE: We need to cut school budgets.

JULY: Teachers need to go back to school.

AUGUST: Teachers are selfish and don’t care.

💯 truth...

[Herbert O'Neil, Jr. @herbertoneiljr]

In dealing with school reopening everyone gets to pass the buck. All levels can pass it. The only person that can’t is the school superintendent. Think about them as you tweet out every little thought you have.

[Alma Gonzalez @507Tweets]

@BasharaDana Much love and support to you and the leadership team. 💙💛

[Alma Gonzalez @507Tweets]

Said before, and I’ll say it again: ALL the props, finger snaps, shoutouts, etc. to the #txed superintendents - A to Z. AHISD’s @BasharaDana to ZCISD’s Carlos Gonzalez Y’all truly exhibit grace under pressure. ��🏆🌟🏆❤️

[Alma Gonzalez @507Tweets]

I see you my @WoodridgeElem and @AHHSmules peeps. I see you. ❤️📚🏫❤️

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

I think some people really take for granted for much work it is for educators to set up meaningful, engaging lessons for their students over zoom. There's a bizarre narrative that online teaching is easier for educators, but I don't know a single teacher who thinks that's true.
