Leadership is hard because it means you have to tell people they’re not good enough. Everyone can’t be the best. Too many leaders today are afraid to have difficult conversations. This will forever be my favorite Saban clip.
Leadership is about first being teachable and then evolving into an effective coach, guiding others to be their best. A strong leader learns, adapts, & empowers, embodying the essence of leadership through a commitment to growth and the ability to mentor others!
The Texas Constitution guarantees the suitable provision for the maintenance and support of an efficient system of public free schools. The Constitution does not guarantee that financial support for private options. (1/3)
Tomorrow, the bipartisan anti-voucher majority in the Texas House will defend our public schools and fight against Greg Abbott’s voucher scheme.
Public money belongs in public schools. We will never sell out our kids. #txlege
Our oak-strong pro-#txed rural Republican #txlege House friends, while under a blistering attack from @GregAbbott_TX, are holding the line against a corrupt private school voucher plan.
They refuse to be bullied.
They deserve our unwavering support.
Now and in March primaries.
WAYS TO IMPROVE Education
1 Stop viewing our kids as numbers
2 Less standardized testing
3 Provide actual & appropriate consequences for students to learn from
4 Provide more supports
5 Provide teachers more prep time
6 Smaller class sizes
7 Increase teacher salaries
Gov. Greg Abbott says if school vouchers doesn't pass this time in the 4th special session, he's prepared to call the #txlege back again until they do.
"We’d be spending December here, maybe January here, maybe February here," Abbott said.

When teachers feel valued and their strengths are utilized, they are 6 times more engaged at school and 3 times more likely to say they have a high quality of life. Now imagine the amazing learning environment they create for their students. It's game changing!
Are you an educator and/or coach in #txed and wondering why you have received no raise for the year? Our Governor wants to make sure you have absolutely no doubt as to why #txlege#txhsfb
The Governor has called for vouchers for all. With over 1 million students already in homeschool & private schools, it could cost up to $8 billion yearly. 90% of students are in public school, & they deserve full funding before diverting taxpayer $$$ for private school subsidies.
So vouchers have:
No financial accountability, no parent rights protections, no parent choice, no protections for students with disabilities, no testing requirements or curriculum oversight? Tell me again how this is improving failing schools and empowering parents? It doesn’t..
IF YOU THINK TEACHING IS…
•Easy
•Receive 3 months off, including holidays
•An 8am-3pm weekday job
•Receive a great pension you don’t pay into
•Everyone respects you
You’re in luck! America is currently short more than 300,000 teachers. Go get that great ‘easy’ job! 😜😂
