"The first two weeks of school are crucial to the foundation you will set for the rest of the year," writes one educator. #EWOpinion https://t.co/PXGnJxFsEl

listen up, stupids:
the January 6 insurrectionists all went to prison because they believed Donald Trump's lies.
the fake electors are all going to prison because they believed Donald Trump's lies.
the pool boy, the butler and the IT nerd are all going to prison because they believed Donald Trump's lies.
Donald Trump doesn't give a fuck about these people and their ruined lives.
Donald Trump doesn't give a fuck about you.
maybe it's time to stop believing Donald Trump's lies

@neubauer32 @RandyOnEd It takes money to PAY teachers! When I began teaching there were 300 applicants for each position. Now we are in a CRITICAL teacher shortage with 3-4 applicants for each position. Why would young people choose a profession that puts them in debt, pays little, and is disrespected

Almost half of all private schools in IA are in 11 urban counties. Almost 2/3 of private school students attend those schools. $900 million of vouchers will be an economic stimulus for those counties while, once again, rural IA gets the shaft. One more reason to vote #novouchers

Missouri Republicans passed new rules:
1. Women lawmakers are banned from showing their bare arms.
2. Women lawmakers are required to cover their dress with a “second layer”.

The road to the Handmaid’s Tale world is lined with people telling us to stop overreacting.

Somewhere your kindergarten teacher still remembers and cares about you. You may not recall every moment clearly, but she dedicated a whole year of her life to your growth and well-being. Trust me when I tell you she’s still praying for your success. Send her a note today.

Our students need more recess, unstructured play, Physical Education, all the Arts, and extracurricular activities! That's how we make their social/emotional health a priority. #2023goals

If you haven't been following the wave of harassment against librarians, this piece will get you up to speed. https://t.co/sQXS1PBjVH

And be sure to follow @FReadomFighters for ways to support librarians.

Teacher evaluations should be more aspirational to reflect professionalism of the role.
How are you doing this year?
What do you think we are doing well?
What is an area we can improve?
How can I best support you right now?
What professional goals can we help you achieve?

School vouchers are an imported idea pushed by powerful groups who are focused on ideology, not on what's best for Iowa.

Education has always seemed to be focused on fixing teachers. Teachers don’t need to be fixed but they do need to be supported, encouraged, & appreciated. Thank you to all the leaders who do!

If you're one of the people that complained/tweeted about President Zelensky’s uniform for his White House visit you are officially an asshole.

This man's country is being bombed every day.

His people are being raped, tortured and slaughtered.

His wardrobe DOES NOT F matter.

The Taliban are reportedly shooting and beating male students who walked out of their exams in Afghanistan today in protest against the ban on women going to university.

This is truly barbaric and horrifying. The world must watch, listen and act now.
