“How can someone really understand what is happening in our schools without actually being in them? I believe it is our job to educate legislators and the general public on how our schools work.” #TakeYourLegislatorToSchool #aledchat https://t.co/uwyCGCTD3V

Comparing the 23-24 legislative budget increases for preschool, higher ed, and gifted education in Alabama is just sad. Check it out! Numbers don’t lie!

@gajenx @Trish_Crain Thank you Trish Crain for all you do to report what’s happening in Alabama education! Please keep the Gifted Student Program budget in mind! We need all the help spreading the news!

@Trish_Crain Gifted education in Alabama is put on the back burner when it comes to funding from legislators. Companies complain when they can’t seem to find people with leadership and skills at management levels. What’s wrong with this picture? Contact your Alabama legislators!

@gajenx @Trish_Crain Not in my elementary classes! We paint, research and compare cultures around the world, read books and study leadership characteristics in famous people along with STREAM!

Birmingham City Schools offer consultative services to our gifted students along with the AP/IB classes. I agree more needs to be done in secondary schools for our gifted students. Consultative services in organization, study skills, and social emotional needs.

@gajenx @Trish_Crain We also research deep space, perform archaeological digs, create house plans and build it, build Lego Spike Essential robotics kits and code them to move, look at timelines and how everyday items have changed over the last 100 years, see how tech can be good, bad, and ugly, etc.

@Trish_Crain Well our best and brightest students are leaving the state in droves due to little support. Ask Mercedes Benz executives who had to go back to Germany b/c they couldn’t find people w/ qualifications needed! Hence support gifted education by funding it-zero raise in budget this yr

@Pixieduster7 @Trish_Crain Having quality gifted and talented classes for bright learners isn’t the same as peer tutoring. Only one person is learning something new in your son’s class. Try Khan Academy, https://t.co/lds4GSr87x, or go to https://t.co/ptqcXPSOqp for more parenting info and bookstore! 😊
