@MargoinWNC So interesting because your image shows that NC actually is above the national average for math.... The NC property tax rate is 0.8% with 35 states having a *higher* rate. https://t.co/GS6ELiLVBD

@nckhui No child should *ever* be denied a meal while at school. I know comments were made about having parents sign up for free/reduced lunch, but many families don't qualify, but still face food insecurity. Even if from a wealthy family, a child should never be denied a meal!

@nckhui Do you know where the 2.5 million impact comes from??? Because $336 x 16,000 employees does not equal 2.5 million. It equals over $5 million.

@sboomgaarden @WCPSS It popped up on the website under updates for families and then was removed!

@nckhui Please don't forget that...THEY CHANGED THE READING TESTS AND THE SCORING DURING COVID (2020-2021)

They made it LOOK like more kids are failing , but you can't exactly compare different tests.

[I hate the cold. @NorthernerToNC]

@nckhui Shows where their priorities are.... Fund private schools instead of funding public schools properly 😡

@SethAbramson Harris/buttigieg or Harris/Cooper (NC governor)

@heymrsbond Nancy drew, boxcar children, animal ark

@Angela_Watson Yes. If we pay for it, why would the school/district/county/state?? .... I'm addition, it makes others that don't (or can't) spend their money or personal time look like they don't care or are bad at their job.

[I hate the cold. @NorthernerToNC]

@nckhui Yes please! It's not the kids fault if they don't have $$$

@nicoleaoii @FixingEducation And having kids performing at 2-3 grade levels below all the way to 2-3 grade levels above in the same class....

@sharkieslux @CaliFKNfornia What's the time for each team?

[I hate the cold. @NorthernerToNC]

@FixingEducation Ive never had less than 24. The past few years it's been almost or above 30.

[I hate the cold. @NorthernerToNC]

@FixingEducation We and the students have 25 minutes. For all of us, it ends really up being 15-20.

[I hate the cold. @NorthernerToNC]

@__2Christine @FixingEducation Ooo 6.5 hours 185 days a year??? Where do I find that job? I'm a teacher and work 200 required days that are typically 9.5- 10.5 hours long!

[I hate the cold. @NorthernerToNC]

@Becky4Wake @M4LWakeNC Are you basing your claim on reading EOG scores? If so, please remember that they CHANGED the grading for reading EOG in ~ 2021.... So the % of proficient students before the pandemic and after isn't exactly compatible because they changed the test and the way it was graded.

WHY CLASS SIZE MATTERS #EdChat

- Limited time for personalized student support and relationship building

- Increased behavior challenges

- Higher workload with more assignments and tests to assess and provide feedback

- Reduced chances for enrichment activities

@HStoub @nckhui 2014-2015 school year: 1.76 % (2736 of 155,814)
2022-2023 school year: 3.25 % (5143 of 158,412)

[I hate the cold. @NorthernerToNC]

@FixingEducation Yes! So many kids missing school!

[I hate the cold. @NorthernerToNC]

@NiPath7 @nckhui If a teacher can't teach because they are doing all the things those individuals should be doing it means less actual teaching.... So, yes it does have academic implications.
