We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. When we can’t give students more recess, physical activity & Arts then we don’t understand education.
Thinking a lot about Adam Schiff’s words this week:
“He has betrayed our national security, and he will do so again… You cannot constrain him. He is who he is. Truth matters little to him. What’s right matters even less, and decency matters not at all.”
Three kinds of people are actively trying to dismantle and defund public schools:
1. Those who profit off of privatizing education.
2. Those who are opposed to independent thought, truthful history, and an inclusive education.
3. Those believing the lies of 1 and 2.
Please stop saying that we need to increase teacher salaries in order “recruit the best and brightest” as if the best and brightest are not currently teaching.
We need to increase teacher salaries because those currently teaching deserve and earned it.
