@GregAbbott_TX ... You should see parents getting involved in our PUBLIC schools! Imagine if you got behind all Texas public schools the way so many families do, how much better off the majority of students would be.
@GregAbbott_TX is this what you're hoping for, putting school vouchers into action? Less access to pub ed for people who wouldn't be able to use vouchers anyway because private ed costs way more than $8k. And yes, teachers out of jobs. Thus the decline of our economy. No bueno.
@GregAbbott_TX You know good and well that economically disadvantaged families aren't likely to get involved in the voucher system, so what you're hoping happens is to take away opportunities, and basically a future, for the ones who need our public schools ... right?
@GregAbbott_TX You hired a guy to run TEA who doesn't have a teaching cert, let alone real teaching experience, so I guess this type of ignorance from you isn't a surprise. As a parent AND teacher, I find you to be a much bigger threat than the hardworking teachers in our state. Pander much?
Or maybe if you provided better funding and resources to ALL schools, "school choice" wouldn't be an issue. It perhaps pandering if what you do best at opposed to actually being a leader for ALL Texans.
@GregAbbott_TX Your answer to the education crisis: School choice. Really. If parents want a better school choice, shouldn't they work their way into areas where "better" schools exist?
@GregAbbott_TX On behalf of all teachers in Texas ... what are you going to do make positive changes in education? For students AND teachers?? It's not just about parents and their rights ... and I AM a parent.
@tedcruz@SenTedCruz Fascinating that you have two accounts ... one to temper the masses and the other to take pride in being self-righteous. Putting it off schools - AGAIN - and not willing to to take ANY sort of measure to help schools. What good are you to constituents??
@GregAbbott_TX ... have you EVER applauded educators in TX? Just continuously attack the school system & the educators that keep it going. You tout bringing businesses to TX, but you won't claim anything good happening in our schools. You'd rather blame them than own your part.
@TheSandraG While I liked your piece on @CNN about @JLo, you were misinformed about the Latinas who received Oscar noms (Salma Hayek, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Yalitza Aparicio, Adriana Barraza, Marina de Tavira). Lots of great Latina talent that got the nod.
