I have said this for years but I will say it again here. This is the education equation:
adult comfort < student success & well-being. As the adults in school systems we need to do hard things to make our students’ lives better. This also means that as district leaders 1/2
Tell me again why teachers are leaving the profession? I tell ya, it’s not b/c of advocates like me. It’s because you can only have people question your integrity so much before you say “that’s enough”. Enough is enough. It is time for the #ksleg to stand up for us in #ksed
Excellent editorial by Andy Taylor with the Montgomery County Chronicle. School vouchers are bad for students, bad for public education and bad for Kansas. If you agree please share. And definitely contact your legislators. #ksleg#ksed
But if you want to get a glimpse of the great things actually happening in public schools across Kansas and how they are happening, I urge you to read reports by @tallman_mark who has been visiting schools across Kansas
It really is time for Kansans to reach out to their legislatures on the issue of school vouchers. Vouchers pose a serious threat to public school funding and would be devastating to smaller communities. Check this thread to consider the impact.
Packed house in the K12 Education Budget Committee this afternoon for the hearing on HB2218, school vouchers. This is a bad bill in so many ways. It’s bad for kids in Kansas and it’s bad for Kansas taxpayers. #ksleg#ksed
“Education Savings Accounts” or Scholarships” are the new words for vouchers. Call them whatever you want - they’re all schemes to defund our award-winning public schools. #ksed#ksleg
Hey Kansans, do you feel like sending $135 million of your tax dollars to nonpublic schools and then reducing public school funding by $11M? Check out the fiscal note on voucher bill, HB 2218 https://t.co/AgSNsjVlPy #ksleg#ksed
Our 2nd graders were building Greek columns and of course we had to get our guys from @HuttonBuilds to help out with their construction expertise. #sedgwickrocks
