Just want to take the time to say THANK YOU to each and every one of y’all that contributed to our best year yet streaming on Spotify! Completely surreal to see some of these statistics. The love is felt immensely. Thank y’all again and we will see you soon!
@NKR_II@LilSperm@chriswyoillini@gusrevel@Blake_LDA@texasforgina You pinned a tweet to your account about babies not being able to get through tape as a reasonable example of what equity is. You can’t be a bigger clown than you already are even if you tried.
@vaxxedBTBBE1965@BeshearStan The plan is to freeze until data centers agree on contributing to where they are settling as well as taxes. It’s not unreasonable, but it is a risk when you talk about price controls. I agree they don’t work by themselves, there has to be a plan.
@M41Ld@CoxHerb I can concede that the voucher helped some families. The problem with that however is the fact that most private schools don’t help the vast majority of kids in the state of Texas. So why exactly should we continue this if it helps very few in the grand scheme?
@AlphaForDummies@doofsupreme3rd@Bgdawg66 How about you tell everybody what the district graded as a whole? Also mention recapture when you speak of said district. TEA is commissioned by a dude with no experience and republicans have had control of it for 30 years. Maybe assign some blame appropriately to them as well.
@chriswyoillini@gusrevel@Blake_LDA@texasforgina Doesn’t seem like you care about student outcomes yourself. Hope you are convinced with her policies down the line. We can agree to disagree. Have a good weekend!
@chriswyoillini@gusrevel@Blake_LDA@texasforgina Developing programs for kids to incentivize coming to school, investing in transportation (it was cut heavily at Austin ISD with great backlash), more extra curricular activities to broaden student interest, and educational field trips
@SnackPr0tein Buddy, they won because they were able to flip republicans. Addressing issues such as public education, pulling back regulations on thc, and prioritizing affordability are all real issues that are bipartisan and worth addressing.
@chriswyoillini@gusrevel@Blake_LDA@texasforgina Of course! Controversial, but I don’t mind teachers salary as it stands. I think using money to improve student-teacher ratio by hiring more assistants and teachers in general would improve learning by minimizing class sizes and lightening the load on teachers plates.
@chriswyoillini@gusrevel@Blake_LDA@texasforgina That was the highest bar the state of Texas offered at that time before they went to grades. In other words, they couldn’t have reached better. So again, explain to me the failed district point you were making? It’s ok to admit you were wrong. No judgement.
@chriswyoillini@gusrevel@Blake_LDA@texasforgina Austin ISD is a failed district? She served from 2012-2015 and these were Austin’s accountability ratings where she also served as board president. What are you talking about?
@chriswyoillini@gusrevel@Blake_LDA Who said anything about throwing money at admin? Anyone with a brain is against that shit. You fail to realize who appoints the head of TEA. The governor of Texas. Who was a Republican! Sounds like you’re criticizing his lousy job which I agree with you. Let someone else run it
@chriswyoillini@gusrevel@Blake_LDA No one wants teaching jobs and you’re firing the only people that actually show up? Come on man, I know you’re a lot smarter than that. This isn’t the 1960’s. The only thing that hurts at the end is the kids because they have nowhere to go if their parents lack transportation.
@chriswyoillini@gusrevel@Blake_LDA What do you mean no one is fired? I’ve worked in them. If they’re not fired they’re strong armed to resign. Public school loses students all the time! Does that account for your argument of accountability? We lose money because of it too.
@GenXTexasGal@Farmer_Shane91@mcardona1989 There are no teachers unions in Texas. Of course public schools should stay open. That’s where the majority of the population goes. I’m not against private schools, but broadening the funds of the voucher program to schools with no accountability is moronic.
@chriswyoillini@gusrevel@Blake_LDA Firing everybody is an incredibly stupid outlook. If you got the best teachers in the world into failing schools they are not in charge of chronic absenteeism, socioeconomic factors, high turnover rate, and staff shortages which are all contributing factors.
@chriswyoillini@gusrevel@Blake_LDA Private schools have lower student to teacher ratios, most parents who have children in said private schools can also afford a tutor during the summer and during the school year. Private schools also can pick and choose which students to be accepted and who to kick out.
