Save Our Schools NC

Parents, teachers and students in favor of Public Schooling in NC

@ForwardPartyNC @ForwardCarolina @msbsexton I’m not particularly interested in keeping you, an anonymous stranger, honest. I merely reject your apparent premise — that there’s wasteful spending or admin bloat that must be rooted out before it’s possible to raise salaries. Seems like the one need not depend on the other

@ForwardCarolina @ForwardPartyNC @msbsexton Because it stalls the conversation, demanding that ~someone, somewhere ~ prove that all education programs are perfect before we can start on the hard work of actually tackling problems.

[Save Our Schools NC @SaveRSchoolsNC]

@ForwardCarolina @ForwardPartyNC @msbsexton Is every single education program a perfect gem with no faults, staffed by perfect people who do perfect jobs at all times? I assume not, especially given the way this legislature hands out money to cronies. But the vague hand waving is conveniently counterproductive. 5/

@ForwardCarolina @ForwardPartyNC @msbsexton I understand this — I (Renee) grew up in the 80s, absolutely steeped in a cultural ethos that claimed government is always bad and always wasteful. I suspect a lot of my neighbors were raised the same way. 3/

Today I binge listened to all the election episodes of Advocacy Bites, the podcast by @RaSekel and @susan_book. They are a must listen for all Wake County voters! #wcpss #advocacy #wakepol

Today was a big day for public education in NC. We live-tweeted today’s Leandro hearing. Please note that we butchered some names of attorneys as we spelled them based on what we heard in the hearing. Corrections (an apologies) are at the end of the thread.

@SaveRSchoolsNC New Podcast Episode Up! Take a listen. Then don't forget to do your homework and come to the Every Child Rally on Saturday. Let's celebrate Leandro, public schools and our kids! #Rally4Kids #LeadWithLeandro https://t.co/eBZYf1yebR

What is your pay was determined by whether a student rated you a 😊 or a ☹️? Feeling 😳? ⁦@educatedpolicy⁩ joined us this week to give us the rundown of the proposed teacher licensing/pay proposal that could base teacher pay on emoji evaluations. https://t.co/S3JEf9Kyy2

Be in the know about who is running for our school boards. We need to filter out the extreme candidates for our children in public schools all over the nation. Yikes.
