If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.
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.
If our Christianity is threatened by even the idea of other people being able to freely live according to their own beliefs, even if we disagree with them, then our Christianity is based on controlling others rather than loving them and we have begun to see ourselves as God.
As a Texas teacher trust me nobody has time to teach anything but the TEKS so kids can take the mandated STAAR test that you are so big on. Oh and we say the pledge to the US and Texas flag EVERY DAY. Maybe you should actually visit a public school @GovAbbott
Questions nobody has answered …
If public schools are “failing” and private schools are “successful” then why don’t they modify public school requirements to match private schools?
No STAAR
No financial reporting
No accountability system
No SPED compliance
Parents, can you please indoctrinate your kids to be kind, respectful, honest, curious and hard working?
(Will take 3 out of the 5 😐)
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Every Teacher in the World
One minute you’re a student teacher excited to have her own classroom and the next you’re a 4th year teacher crying every night because you’re overworked 😅
