Parent. Wife. Advocate. ALL kids deserve options. Don't ask me the question if you don't want an honest answer.

[PA House Republicans 🇺🇸 @PAHouseGOP]

🚨🚨 BREAKING: House Democrats just pulled the same stunt again.

They re-referred SB 9, the protecting women’s sports bill, after voting that it couldn’t even be heard in committee.

Imagine being so afraid of an honest debate and vote that you resort to procedural games to keep the public from seeing where you stand.

Sadly, politics and education are intertwined.

I am very grateful for those who put their money where their mouth is.

So are the millions of students who benefit from their support in all educational models.

[EdChoice @edchoice]

Years ago, EdChoice founder Milton Friedman spoke to Jeff Yass and said to invest in school choice. Decades later, that investment and support has paid off and school choice is blossoming. Now the next step is to keep the momentum going.

PARENTS!

This is exactly what you are doing when you give your child unsupervised access to the internet. 😳

[Martina White @VoteMartinaPA]

The report card from Harrisburg is in and the results are alarming.

Just 12% of Harrisburg High School students are proficient in reading.

Only 2% are proficient in math.

And science proficiency is just 3%.

Our students deserve better. It’s time for Pennsylvania to opt-in to the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit and give families real options at getting a quality education.

[Neal McCluskey @NealMcCluskey]

I can't understand why people think there is just one good way to educate kids & public schools have found it.

[Sharon Sedlar @SharonSedlar]

And while the article discusses "saving" taxpayer money, lives of children will be undoubtedly lost by this control seeking, money grubbing, power-hungry, and disgusting display of disregard for 65,000 PA children.

[Sharon Sedlar @SharonSedlar]

When will the harm to kids🛑? It'll never be enough for some. Using fear/incomplete context to enrage community (& scare legislators) AGAINST kids; simply bc they need "different." That's discriminatory and persecutory in my book. Context and facts in🧵

[Sharon Sedlar @SharonSedlar]

Cyber charters have already laid off staff and many are renegotiating contracts to save what they can to keep their schools and student services afloat. (BTW - federal law via FAPE/IDEA mandates services, but those somehow have been permitted to be discriminatorily cut).

[Patrick Wolf @FlowTap1]

.@MQ_McShane has produced another gem, describing a New Hope for Catholic Education in the U.S., assisted by #SchoolChoice. Quoting Pope Leo: “The family remains the first place of education. Catholic schools collaborate with parents; they do not substitute them, because the ‘duty … devolves primarily on them’. The educational alliance requires intentionality, listening and co-responsibility." Amen! @marcportermagee @nsgarnett @RickGarnett https://t.co/7OU1fpWxmf

When you can afford an option for your child, you do as THEY do. 💔

The families who cannot afford it? “Too bad.” 💔

[Guy Ciarrocchi @PhilaFreedomGuy]

“Doesn’t your heart & head demand that we rescue the students forced to attend schools that are failing academically AND dangerously unsafe? Who’s stopping this?
Shapiro attended a Jewish Day School, as do his children.
Majority Ldr Matt Bradford: His children attend a district that just misses the top 10% in PA.
House Spkr McClinton: Grace Temple Christian Academy.”

@JimBearCreek @Malliard @shesanti @Stand4Cybers @SenatorArgall @RepJamieWalsh @RepRyncavage @JoeDforPA @RepMarcAnderson @RepJoshKail @BrendaPugh @LyndaCulver They'll repeat again and again that they're "for school choice" but their actions say otherwise.

They only want "school choice" as THEY allow it - not as parents want it, or as children need it. 😠

[Sharon Sedlar @SharonSedlar]

@GovernorShapiro ⬆️ district funding for 1 million kids ❤️

⬆️ funding for economically disadvantaged kids ❤️

✂️education funding for 65,000 kids - half of which are low-income, 30% of which are special needs, all of which needed a different kind of education 💔

They deserve opportunity too

[Michael Routh @M_Routh68]

Educators are brainwashed into thinking that every child has trauma. It's not trauma, it's called REAL LIFE. We are quite literally creating a generation of victims.
