TEA creates STAAR Tests.
Holds us to BEST standards.
Uses tests to show public schools are “failing.”
Pushes for vouchers to steal $$ from public schools to pay for tuition to private schools.
Private schools don’t have to take STAAR Tests or provide for fiscal accountability.
@nigronia@Larryferlazzo Oh wow! That sounds awful for his students! I was doing what you did! It amazes me at the number of teachers that refuse to move into the new technology world!
As Teacher Appreciation week ends, understand we have a teacher shortage because we have an attrition crisis. Teachers are leaving in droves because they don’t feel supported, valued, & they are simply burnt out. We need to take care of our teachers more than one week a year.
Not all teachers desire to leave the classroom & move into admin! But, they may desire more leadership within the school. We need a model shift in education where great talent is not promoted away, but given more pay/responsibility in the school! Creating a dynamic school culture
