@LeadingReport Awesome! South Carolina spent all this time amending their constitution to make something illegal that was already illegal everywhere. Great job!

Kids today give me hope for the future. They are paying attention, they have decided that caring about the world is cool, they are not waiting to make things better. I look at my own children and know that they are better people than I was.

There is a very inconvenient truth in this.

Lately, I hear so many folks on both sides of the aisle talk about how policy makers and school leaders should follow the lead of parents. I agree 💯. Here is an opportunity for this administration to put its money (literally) where it’s mouth is . . .

11 Promises from a Manager: a 🧵

1. We’ll have a weekly 1:1. I’ll never cancel this meeting, but you can cancel it whenever you like. It’s your time.

Today I hoped to learn that being fired was an overreaction. Instead, I experienced an attack on my character. As someone who likes to find the humor in difficult times and teachable moments when they arise, I’d like to thank @whisperbidets for letting this moment be both.

@MichelleReneF So while Gov Abbott is going after parents of trans kids, his administration is letting children in their care KNOWINGLY continue to be abused for 3 months?!?!

There are great single site charter leaders in Houston flying below the radar. It’s time for these “best kept secrets” to no longer be secret. If you live in Houston + care about great public schools, then get to know this crew! @BMIGators1966 @Etoile_Academy @htxclassical

[Richard Charlesworth @RichWorth]

@smarick Yes. There is a foundational accountability problem with charter districts. Private, appointed boards supercharge any moral fractures that creep up in senior leadership. I’ve seen it from the inside. Boards should be elected by the parents of the students.

@jvrichey @GeorgeTakei Please don’t do that…we need the rest of the country to help us walk back from the cliff-o-crazy we’re dancing on

[Richard Charlesworth @RichWorth]

@DanRather All the people responding with some form of “let the unvaccinated die”. SHAME ON YOU! I’m also angry at the masses who are putting their own tribal identity above everyones safety, but…..I don’t have more words.

Enduring a very poor experience with @UnltedAirlines trying to go home MCO>IAH, no mechanical issues, no bad weather, just a straight up $ calculation. We are “delayed” 13 hours. Then they sent us to a hotel with vouchers, but the hotel doesn’t take vouchers. #unitedsucks

This is an idea worth exploring

When I was in the Coast Guard, we were told bluntly, that we were NEVER allowed to shoot first...no matter what. Why can’t we have this very simple, life-saving rule for all police?

Hours after the Derek Chauvin verdict, a 15-year-old Black girl named Makiyah Bryant was killed by police in Columbus, Ohio.

It’s another tragic reminder that justice won’t be fully realized until we act to reimagine public safety. https://t.co/GiKb162xid

@erinmote @BklynLabSchool This happens when students trust that their teachers are truly committed their success. That trust is hard earned and teachers can’t do it alone. Thank you @erinmote and the staff at @BklynLabSchool for the years of hard work it took to get here!

[Richard Charlesworth @RichWorth]

@tgrierhisd Really disappointed in this misleading statement Terri. You know full well that charter schools are public schools.
