Teachers are heroes and change lives everyday. The impact that they make on students’ lives is immeasurable. This guy has it all wrong, and has for decades. Cheers to all our teachers. At @OfficialATPE we love you and have your back! #txlege#txed#EducatorPlus
Today's comic is a special one because it discusses #dyscalculia, which co-occurs frequently with #adhd. I personally live with it and it's something I feel should be discussed more often. (1/2)
Kids thrive on routine and consistency. This year, many kids experienced disruptions to basic needs of food, financial security, shelter, and social connection. It is time to extend hold harmless funding & cancel/rethink staar.
What is most infuriating about @GregAbbott_TX and @DanPatrick response to the blackout is that they pretend they and their party did not create this system. Abbott appoints the PUC! GOPers blocked reliability standards. Do not let them blame the poor @ERCOT_ISO folks for this.
Testing during the pandemic: If students do well we will be told it's due to tech, if students do poorly it will be due to the teachers. It's a no-win situation.
@6to12elbow @Stephen_Dewayne@JustSam__ @djordxc According to a plumber - our southern copper tubing has a seam that the northern tubing does not. It’s a weak spot prone to split in ice.
No matter what format the learning experiences will be in for schools, the foundation and most important work remains on connecting and building relationships. Support staff so they can support kids and families.

If more parents taught their kids to respect authority, fewer kids would think they could disobey authority figures without consequence.
It starts in the home. Every time.
.@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”
@realdonaldtrump: “You can’t do that.”
Swan: “Why can’t I do that?”
Republished on our @OfficialATPE#txed advocacy blog today from The Texas Tribune: Gov. Greg Abbott stresses local school officials "know best" whether schools should reopen https://t.co/NFRcjmIzNC
@GovAbbott TEA is again not addressing needs. Districts need: cancellation of STAAR, TELPAS, and ALT 2; waiver on contract time for personnel so people do not have to work through the summer; suspension of mandatory truancy law; adjustment of makeup time rules for students.
Not only was the “scholarship” personally paid for by DeVos, this girl only attended public school in kindergarten. She’s been going to a private Christian school & then a charter school at no cost. Total deceit top to bottom. https://t.co/S0BF8LI1xz
Idea Charter Schools’ CEO and his private jet, his $500,000+ pay package, and his $400,000+ in tickets to San Antonio Spurs games should tell EVERYONE what they need to know about PROFITIZING public education. #txed
