Fiercely independent. Constitutionalist. Agrarian dreamer. Tech is gross, emojis worse. Dangerously funny. DMs? Bring goats or god-tier banter.

Can someone name the TEA takeover success story?

Not “they changed the board.”Not “they installed managers.”Not “they moved ratings around.”

I mean: where did TEA take over a district and produce clear, lasting academic improvement for students?

Because the record is not exactly glowing. Some districts improved on paper, like Marlin ISD after eight years, and Shepherd ISD moved three F-rated schools to D ratings. But other takeovers ended with districts dissolved or absorbed, including North Forest, La Marque, Kendleton, and Wilmer-Hutchins. Beaumont and Edgewood returned to local control with MORE failing schools than before.

And Mike Morath has been TEA Commissioner since January 2016. TEA itself admits Texas still faces “persistent challenges,” while national rankings in reading continue to lag.

In the real world, when the person in charge keeps missing the metrics, they usually don’t get more control. (Not that @GregAbbott_TX would understand the concept. Can someone say term limits?)

They get reviewed.
Or replaced.

So @MikeMorath and @teainfo. Let’sa see YOUR report card.

Does it include legal infractions?
Whistleblower retaliation?Vendor conflicts?
Charter sweetheart deals?
Or are we still pretending this is all about “the children” while politically connected people circle public education like vultures around real estate and contracts?

Funny how “accountability” always seems to land on teachers and campuses but never on the people running the system.

@TxEdHouston how’s it going down there?

@jamestalarico Somewhere, a consultant billed $40k for this messaging strategy.

Possibly the same team behind Austin’s new logo.

AI is basically Roblox for adults.

“Congrats, you made a spreadsheet, a logo, and one mildly cursed image.
Anyway, you’re out of credits.
Would you like to buy 500 more tokens to continue existing?”

Digital consumerism with sci-fi lighting.

Rude.
Absolutely not.
I do not need the wings and lace-up shoes.

@spencerpratt @RitaPanahi We are supposed to believe that is a picture of Drew Carey?

Damn. LASIK doing full witness protection now.

I’ve determined I don’t like chess because:
the rules are too constrained
the board is closed
everything is predetermined
it feels like strategic claustrophobia

I don’t like video games because:
the reality is fake
the stakes are artificial
the accomplishments feel simulated
I can’t emotionally invest in digital mushrooms or side quests

Therefore, don’t assume I enjoy the real games either.

I would like to officially opt out of the Hunger Games.

Thank you.

I never was a fan of red shoes.

Technicolor Schemicolor.

[Miss Darling @Ms__Darling]

I did not agree to these shenanigans, so I’m gonna pass on this storyline.

And so help me if someone tries to Spielberg this thing up and pull some Independence Day nonsense… absolutely not.

At minimum, give me some Jericho-esque tension or Kubrick-level psychological unraveling.

We have standards.

I’m not saying “vindication.”

I’m just saying the evidence is starting to sound a lot like me.

[Miss Darling @Ms__Darling]

It has hit the fan.

Like damn. Can the algorithm give us one capybara in a bucket before the next civilization-ending thread?

@iluminatibot @DonnaPrissyrn1 But Hantavirus….

Jesus flipped tables over corruption. He didn’t hand out campaign flyers.

He warned against using faith for power, status, and spectacle. The Church should challenge every political tribe.

Not become a fan club for one.

@redpillb0t The red shoes were already doing too much, but the art collection really said, “Let’s make sure the optics never recover.”

@scs_real You suck.
But well played.

@doogadoo11 The NBA really saw a grown man chugging a beer next to his billionaire pop star girlfriend and said:

@DonHuffines Sir, ‘private-sector experience’ includes your family buying Epstein’s ranch through an LLC.

@GadSaad I’m reading your book instead.

@v1bewithrebecca @ecom_cork Respectfully, the evidence has entered the chat.

[Miss Darling @Ms__Darling]

@ecom_cork You should see what they wear to school.

Somewhere along the line, ‘going to class’ and ‘poolside in Ibiza’ became the same dress code.
