One of my GCs I partner w is a Trump guy. We won a new job that will start next year. I just told him I won’t honor today’s materials’ pricing past January. He asked why. I said tariffs could cause 100% increase in COGS or more. That I would send new pricing in the spring. He said but I have to sign the fixed price contract w them tomorrow! And there you have it! One lesson learned two days too late! Too bad. So sad.
As a Brit, I've been watching the American election results with sorrow for my American friends. Some are comparing it to the Brexit vote here, imagining if we'd voted for Brexit twice. But here's the thing... in a sense, we did. And here are some lessons from it. 🧵
@1capplegate @PROTAGONIST1970 When he gets rid of the Department of Education he will end the Individuals with the Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This is the backbone of Special Education in America.
@CTruittNCDPI @MoGreenforNC@ncpublicschools Thanks for being an advocate for the science of reading and helping push reading instruction into the future. Hopefully the Education Committee members of the NC legislation will look into a plan for students with disabilities. Trump doesn’t understand IDEA and its protections.
So what happens to students w/ disabilities when the Department of Education is dissolved? Will NC Ed Committee members institute any protections like IDEA for these students? Will Special Education end in NC? #NCED#NCPol@SenatorBerger@EducationNC@MoGreenforNC @CTruittNCDPI
Any idea what will happen to IDEA when Trump shuts down Department of Education? What will happen to children with disabilities protection's in schools? #NCGA#NCED@DallasWoodhouse What do you think?
