To my teacher @MSTA and school administrator @MASALeaders@MOASSP@MoAESP friends--if the road ever gets a bit steep--I always used to watch John Wooden's presentation "The difference between winning and succeeding." I needed it today---it still works. https://t.co/2Mij2qdTeG
Public Educators: regardless of role thank you for all that you will do this year to serve our students and show them how to succeed. Please know that for every critic there are 10 admirers saying “thank you!” God Speed on 2021!
I heard the perfect Covid quote today.
“If you don’t trust doctors and science to keep you from getting sick, why the hell are you clogging up hospitals trusting them to cure you?”
Today, the 5 most vaccinated states (14M people) had
580 people in hospital, 12 deaths
In the 5 least vaccinated states (16M people)?
6,600 hospitalized, 104 deaths
Per capita , least vaccinated states have
10X hospitalizations and 7X deaths
So yeah, vaccines are working
"Missouri teachers and support staff are doing what has been asked of us. We ask that you now do the right thing. Please prioritize Missouri educators and support staff for immediate vaccinations." @GovParsonMO @
Missouri teachers @MOEducation far behind Kansas teachers on getting coronavirus shots. Under current plans, it may be summer before Missouri teachers can get the vaccine. Every state that touches MO except OK now giving teachers COVID shots. https://t.co/HUybiCGte9
It continues to baffle me why Missouri teachers are not considered right behind our front line workers! Ours have been showing up EVERY DAY since September. Kansas teachers are getting COVID vaccines now. In Missouri, they might wait months https://t.co/JV3GP1H1EK
Another example of evidence that continues to mount regarding the general failure of charter schools. However, some Missouri legislators continue to push for expansion of charter schools. https://t.co/pqghVQU1Hj
Why should we care about MO children enrolling in for-profit online programs paid for by taxpayers?
"During the 19-20 school year, 56% of students enrolled in MOVA passed their courses."

Public schools are not failing students.
Public school teachers are not failing students.
The system is failing public schools, teachers and students.
Stop saying public schools and teachers are failing students when the system is setting them up to fail.
