@jhaskinscabrera Our school board can’t get anywhere close to their budget and wants to increase property taxes instead of making cuts. Meanwhile folks are fleeing the public schools in droves.

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@luther_snell I think you’re right about the trickery. I also don’t think it’s wise for any children to be near any crops being sprayed, tbh.

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@ChrisLoomis @rpetty For a lot of private schools, the vouchers only supplement the tuition. Kids aren’t being given more than their FTE count for their assigned district or qualifying additional funds under matrix of services if receiving additional funding for special needs.

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@ChrisLoomis @rpetty Those same standards apply to public schools. There are special needs schools as well as second chance-style schools one can be sent to if the assigned school cannot serve them. Seeing that for a private school is just a smaller scale of what already happens in districts.

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@ChrisLoomis @rpetty qualified professionals who likely lack the overwhelming caseloads of specialists in school systems. What do you think the tests accomplish, and if funding came with the requirement of submitting to an end of year assessment, would you then support vouchers?

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@ChrisLoomis @rpetty Actually, public schools kick kids out (required transfer) for most of the things you named, and receive supplemental funding for each qualifying exceptionality they service. Having this funding follow the child just provides options to have their needs better served by 1/2

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@ChrisLoomis @rpetty Which standards, specifically, do you desire for them to follow? Be specific, as you are painting with a very broad brush thusly.

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@ChrisLoomis @rpetty But public schools don’t do that, which is why we have alternative schools for populations that cannot be served by gen-ed, both for behavior and profound health and exceptionality needs.

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@ChrisLoomis @rpetty I completely disagree, but that’s probably because I know the level of rampant noncompliance with the rules set for public schools. What, specifically, do you think should be required of private schools, and how does this differ from state scholarships used for private colleges?

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@ChrisLoomis @rpetty Turn that around. A 31% jump in enrollment is by no means insignificant. Do you have any idea how many new applicants there were for the homeschool scholarship this year?

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@rpetty FEA doesn’t give a damn about the kids receiving zero contractually designated and funded services who turn to scholarships as a last resort. Cheeks in seats is all they seek.

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@rpetty Their stance is that one cannot negotiate an employment contract without their help, yet their school board negotiations end up with a measly 1%. Ask the dues-paying members what they faced when they needed a union rep in a crisis — nothing but red tape.

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@NatureGirl_21 @ChristinaPushaw Oh that’s just too bad. The knowledge you’ve gained about those subjects is irrelevant because you’ve given birth and chose not to have someone else care for your offspring.

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@asymmetricinfo With an incubation of up to 8 weeks, I want you to work us through the logistics of this. I’d like you to keep in mind that 14 days translated to years, so what will your 60 days evolve into?

@tarafaul503 Bring your skates? You could do a bit of this: https://t.co/YrOFKM0SwG

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@ChristinaPushaw @NatureGirl_21 I’ve also found that becoming a SAHM translates to others that somehow every bit of education and experience you have is somehow nullified the moment you transition to stay home with your kids. Nothing you did before counts (even if training was extensive, tasks were complex).

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@FondOfBeetles Something behaving as an airborne on a ship with shared HVAC and high pressure flush plumes is different than something being deemed airborne in the general population. It’s about ventilation, primarily.

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@jeffreytucker Results are majorly skewed by the introduction of the spectrum versus standalone Asperger’s. Every single parent whose child had profound Autism that I’ve worked with identified a specific post-vaccination health event during a critical language and social development stage.

[Megan Mansell @mamasaurusMeg]

@Timcast Complying with what, though? More non-mitigating measures?
