Texas Education 911 is a parent & community-led effort to drive the conversation to URGENTLY fix Texas public schools. R/T not endorsements. Opinions = opinions
The perpetually-funded powerful who have caused the problems continue to profit by fighting moms, dads, good legislators. Day in. Day out.
They will OUTLAST your passion.
They are PAID to fight you.
They are EXPERTS at workarounds.
They KNOW the system lacks accountability and that you can be swatted away like flies.
They are not like us.

This is exactly what ALL Texas parents are up against. Voting and nonvoting.
Gaslighting.
The people destroying education are NOT those who want parents fully included, ethical administrators, transparency and lawfulness.
You have to laugh.
@LeeMcClymont@LenValyrian Extremist anti-parent attitude, there. And insulting! How can children be safe in any school where teachers loathe their parents??
When your classroom is the best-run one in the building, you don’t need to win the debate. Former teacher @MrDanielBuck broke down for the Teacher Freedom Summit how good teachers stand their ground.
Texans are free to think, study, inquire, wrestle, challenge and question.
So, if someone is telling you to "shut up and color" or "suck it up" instead of inspiring independent thought and application of facts and intellect, they forgot American history and ethos.
What's their angle?
Is unquestioned conformity so essential to their agenda?
BOLO.
Remember, "Iron sharpens iron."
The secret to a good education is the parent.
Can you believe there are people who want to allow ISDs to continue to trample parents' rights? How anti-pub ed do you have to be to actively work for that?

@Allison90878013@FrontlinesTPUSA Some people clearly HATE conservatives, are not Christian, and resort to violence if there are ideas they don't like being expressed freely within America.
This kind of behavior is in our ISDs (unaddressed).
It is fostered with a WHOLE lot of indulgence.
@FrontlinesTPUSA you could see about pushing for a #MAHA fix - it is possible behavior like this is driven by medication or diet.
WATCH: Student tears down an American flag and assaults a TPUSA Field Rep plus two students with a prop cane after calling them “fascist pieces of s**t” during a Pick Up the Mic event at the University of Texas Tyler.
Campus police swiftly arrested the student and transported him to the county jail for processing.
No injuries reported.

Yep. Packed houses. We are funneled in and out like cattle with 5-7 minutes where the teacher speaks and there is ZERO interaction or time to ask a question. Then PTA gives a sales pitch. Then you walk a half mile to your car b/c the lot was full of teachers' cars.
Half the time the teacher spends showing a video about their own family, and then directs you to a QR code.
When you have 3 or 4 children, you have to pick which children's teachers to visit because your admin refuses to stagger the cluster school teacher nights.
If PUBLIC EDUCATION in Texas gets worse, more parents will yank out their children. So many are on the verge.
Why?
One Root explanation: The parent-teacher divide has been grown.
(Yes, that's grammatically correct.)
This is NOT the doing of parents. One can argue it's not KNOWINGLY the intention of teachers. However, having parents totally unaware of what is going on in school benefits very specific groups, so wedges are driven between critical players who, when education worked better, were on the same side.
A broken parent-teacher relationship also, sadly, makes parents an easy scapegoat for failures of the "Machine."
In an echo chamber of stress (which is 95% not caused by parents at large0, if "APAB" is the default, then NO CHILD can learn under that caustic mentality.
Thank God for the good teachers and administrators. We need them to be WAY more vocal, to help all Texas kids.
But those intentionally driving the wedge (through continuing ed, ed fads, union messaging, staff meetings, ugly social media speech) are nothing short of anti-child, anti-American, and anti-God as the giver of all our freedoms and families.
There is no other way to see it, is there?
@M4LHarris Suggest referring to these as grooming tools for pedophiles.
If people want to protect the groomers' tools, then are they not pedo protectors and co-conspirators?
These are not novels or books by any historical standard.
And there're still people out there whining about "book banning." These are grooming instruments, and pedo protectors protect the tools.
No decent school board allows harmful material to be put in front of children. Until we have ethical competent school boards which are not controlled by the superintendents, lawyers or lobbying entities, kids do not seem safe!
Book 2 is a graphic novel called “Improve: How I Discovered Improv And Conquered Social Anxiety” by Alex Graudins. Messages include “Lucifer is my new Jesus” and “Ninja Sex Party”…is this what should be put in front of children as young as 11 using YOUR tax dollars?
The military enlistment oath is so clear and patriotic!
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
It's so important our children learn about serving others in a selfless capacity. So much emphasis is on "ME" in schools and that's not having good results. Nor is it good for our Constitutional Republic.
Thanks to all Veterans, everyday!
Same here. And on a local scale, an ISD can take a failing school and just switch it up like with a new focus or approach and get a "reset."
An absolute JOKE!
Read this, though! 👇👇👇
How Government K-12 Manipulate Proficiency Scores.
We used Indiana as an example below but all government K-12 uses these dishonest tactics to “cook the books”.
|| Resetting Baselines ||
Whenever statewide scores drop
significantly or plateau at unacceptable levels, the state routinely redesigns the
assessment or changes the cut score (the score needed to be labeled "Proficient"). For the 2025-2026 school year, Indiana rolled out a redesigned, through-year ILEARN model and reset the baseline as "Year Zero," which conveniently erases long-term historical comparisons and makes it nearly impossible for parents to track multi-year learning loss.
|| Substituting "Growth" for Actual Mastery ||
State accountability formulas (like
Indiana’s Graduates Prepared to Succeed framework) heavily weight "Student Growth Percentiles" (SGP). If a 7th grader performs at a 3rd-grade math level, but improves to a 4th-grade level, the school receives full accountability points for "accelerated growth". The school gets an "A" or "B" rating for progress, while the child remains years behind
grade level.
|| Streamlining and Diluting Standards ||
To pump up passing percentages, states periodically "streamline" academic standards. Indiana's revisions,for example, cut curriculum content by over 25% under the guise of focusing on "essential" standards. By removing advanced, foundational topics from what is tested,fewer students are flagged as failing, but most have no understanding or mastery of basic subjects.
|| Diluting Accountability with "Readiness" Indicators ||
Rather than rating schools purely on whether students can read, write, and do mathematics, state grading models incorporate non-academic or low-bar indicators. By awarding points for attendance, social emotional learning, and “digital literacy”, poor math and
reading numbers are mathematically buried inside an inflated overall school grade.
|| "Grading for Equity" and Credit Recovery ||
At the district level, high schools inflate
graduation rates using "no-zero" grading policies and automated online "credit recovery" modules. A student who failed Algebra II can spend a weekend clicking through computerized multiple-choice recovery quizzes to receive a passing grade. The student graduates on paper, but possesses none of the mathematical foundation required for college engineering or calculus. (See first comment below)
*****************
So when you see the dismal reading and math proficiency rates across the country, that is DESPITE a school system cooking the books. In other words, even students who they rate “proficient” in 2026 are nowhere near students who were considered proficient in the 60’s, 70’s, or 80’s.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the intended result of an “Equitable Education”.
