IllinoisBATs

BATs was created to give voice to every
teacher who refuses to be blamed for the failure of our society to erase
poverty and inequality through education.

Voucher programs are not popular with the public. That's why they need dirty backroom deals to get them passed. Be forewarned. #TBATs @NJBatsa @MIBATS @BATsDelaware @OhioBATs @MarylandBAT @PennBat @NoCarolinaBATs @BATs_DC @VirginiaBATs @SoCarolinaBATs

More than 90% of our nation's children attend regular public schools. 95% of parents love their community's public schools. #SupportPublicSchools Not charters. #TBATs @iowabats @IndianaBATs @MissouriBATs @LouisianaBATs @ArkansasBATsA @MNBATs1 @Wisconsin_BATs @piper4missouri

There's nothing wrong with being woke. We should all be woke. It means you are a compassionate human being. #TBATs @iowabats @MNBATs1 @Wisconsin_BATs @IndianaBATs @ArkansasBATsA @MissouriBATs @piper4missouri @LouisianaBATs @FLBATsA
The "woke agenda" is a caring agenda.

It's easy to fool people who don't understand the technology or how it will be used. And don't ask technical experts or actual teachers. #TBATs @MissouriBATs @LouisianaBATs @LouisianaBATs @iowabats @IndianaBATs @MNBATs1 @Wisconsin_BATs
Respect Teachers!

[IllinoisBATs @IllinoisBATs]

It's no surprise that schools that have the fewest resources have the lowest scores. Instead of punishing them, we should be providing them with better resources. #TBATs #LessTestingMoreTeaching @MIBATS @Wisconsin_BATs @MNBATs1 @OhioBATs @MissouriBATs @Nodakbats

Truth from Diane Ravitch, education historian, research professor at NYU & former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education. #TBATs @Wisconsin_BATs @MNBATs1 @IndianaBATs @iowabats @MissouriBATs @LouisianaBATs @ArkansasBATsA

It's too hard to control a population with a free education, so they want to control education. But we won't let them knock us down. #TBATs @IndianaBATs @iowabats @MissouriBATs @IllinoisBATs @LouisianaBATs @ArkansasBATsA @MNBATs1 @Wisconsin_BATs
Support Public Schools!

Local wealth has a lot to do with what kind of resources your school has. Also what kind of experiences your parents can give you. Standardized Tests are unfair b/c kids don't have standard lives #TBATs @Wisconsin_BATs @MNBATs1 @MissouriBATs @LouisianaBATs @IndianaBATs @iowabats

Seems like the only efficiencies that result from privatization is how swiftly they can tuck public money away into their private pockets. #TBATs #SupportPublicSchools @MNBATs1 @Wisconsin_BATs @iowabats @IndianaBATs @MissouriBATs @ArkansasBATsA @MIBATS @LouisianaBATs

Charters weaken the voice of parents and communities, even for those who don't send their children to Charter Schools. #TBATs @MissouriBATs @MIBATS @LouisianaBATs @ArkansasBATsA @iowabats @IndianaBATs @IllinoisBATs @MNBATs1 @Wisconsin_BATs

Hmm. Sounds like certain someones want our students to become "easy prey to every conspiracy theory that comes along." #StopCensorship https://t.co/799THGfKeL #TBATs @Wisconsin_BATs @MIBATS @IndianaBATs @iowabats @MissouriBATs @ArkansasBATsA @MNBATs1 @LouisianaBATs
