Research shows that students who attend schools with full-time, professional school librarians score significantly better on reading tests than students whose schools don’t have librarians.

Retired U.S. Navy CDR Wes Rexrode had this to say about book bans…

Parents are more than capable of deciding what books our kids can read without government oversight.

Students need recess, unstructured play, physical education, all the Arts, and their extracurricular activities! That's how we make their social/emotional health a priority.

'Take Back the Game,' a book about the corruption of youth sports, "should be required reading for every parent. It should be handed out in the hospital along with What to Expect the First Year and Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child," says Jonathan Last. https://t.co/tvACJv16O6

Folks, the way we're funding our public schools isn't sustainable. The state must do its part so that no matter the ZIP code, our schools have the resources they need to keep class sizes small, improve outcomes, and set our kids up for success.

Teachers feel this way too!

We spend millions to implement research based practices. BUT, we ignore the extensive research that shows how play, recess, & physical activity, can improve focus, self regulation, and on task behavior, as well as academic achievement, interpersonal skills & mental health.

The other day I saw a study about how, when asked to draw a scientist, most kids make a white male. Tonight, I asked my 5yo what she would draw if asked the same. She looked at me like it was the most ridiculous question, then said, “Ada Twist.” The power of books. @andreabeaty

For real though. 💯

I’m always thrilled when I walk into a library and see the picture books labeled “everybody books.” ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

@Mark_Baden It is criminal that our public schools have to go to referendum just for operational costs when there is $ to support them. Cutting staff and programs to the bare bones is what districts have had to do. $ for voucher schools continue to take away $ from public schools.

Teachers, never take for granted a leader who makes you feel like you're amazing and appreciated. They are the difference makers for the difference makers!

This is the truth! 💯
