Your child's school has an assistant superintendent for curriculum, an assistant superintendent for instruction, a director of teaching and learning, and a coordinator of academic services. Your child's teacher has thirty-two kids and no copy paper. This is not a funding problem. It is a priority problem.

You want to fix education?

Stop treating teachers like they're the problem. They're the ones who showed up every day, documented everything, and told you the truth all year. Start there.

More days in school doesn’t mean more learning.
And this isn’t opinion.
The data backs it up.
The OECD has reported that simply increasing instructional time does not improve student outcomes.
Pew Research shows there’s a wide range of instructional hours across countries, with no consistent link to performance.

If time alone worked…
the countries with the most hours would dominate.
They don’t.
In fact, students in the United States already spend more time in school than many countries.
By the end of lower secondary school, students in Finland receive about 6,300 hours of instruction.
In the United States, it’s more like 9,000+ hours.

That’s a huge difference.
And yet… more time hasn’t translated into better outcomes.
So it’s not a time problem.
It’s how we use the time.

High-performing countries don’t cut arts, PE, and music to make room for more academics.
They protect them.
Because they understand these actually help improve student learning.
Movement improves focus.
Arts build creativity and thinking.
Music strengthens cognitive development.
So while we’re trying to cram more academics into more time…

They’re building better learners.
That’s why they can do less time and still get strong results.

But we keep going back to the same thinking,
if a little is good, more must be better.

That logic doesn’t hold up anywhere else.

No coach is doubling practice time thinking it will double performance.
That’s not better training… that’s overtraining.

And overtraining doesn’t build athletes, it breaks them down.

The brain works the same way.

There’s a limit to how much it can take in before more actually starts working against you.
You don’t get better learning—you get fatigue, disengagement, and burnout.

Especially with kids.

So when we add more days without changing the experience, nothing really improves.
We’re just stretching out the same problem over a longer period of time.

We don’t need more time.
We need to use time the way kids actually learn,
not the way it gets designed by people who aren’t in the room.

@BasedRedWolf Honestly I have no idea what value they bring. Nothing they do impacts my classroom or makes things better for students or staff.

I saw a woman on TikTok say she was a "good girl" her whole life. Did everything the "right" way. Followed the rules. Kept the peace. Put everyone else first. Now she's in her 40s and said all she feels like she has to show for it is grief and a lot of built-up anger. And honestly, as a woman, I felt that deeply. Because nobody really talks about how being the "good girl" often benefits everyone around you except the actual good girl. Everyone else gets the patience, the understanding, the sacrifice. And she's the one left realizing she spent years shrinking herself just to keep everyone else comfortable.

Trump would rather pay for foreign wars instead of pay for American day care. This is where we are at.

And generally applicants are less advantaged than final users of the voucher—regardless of how approval priority tiers work.

The reason is basic: private schools—not parents or the state—get to choose which voucher-approved students actually get to enroll in their schools.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Mr. President: I have a better idea. Instead of spending over a trillion dollars on never-ending wars abroad while plunging the working class into poverty here at home, let’s invest in universal childcare, Medicare for All and affordable housing.

America first!

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

[Robert Anglen @robertanglen]

The Arizona Department of Education and ESA advocates have relentlessly attacked @CraigHarrisNews for reporting 20% of parents misspent millions in the state’s voucher program. An ADE supervisor now confirms the findings were accurate.

@FixingEducation In elementary, 24 is too many with the increase of high emotional needs and massive academic gaps.

Trump's DOJ has been quietly removing Epstein files from the DOJ website since the attack in Iran ; CBS reports.

This is a coverup.
