@JeffBezos after spending 6 hours talking to your company, I know where you have the potential to lose $110.449 billion a year and can fix that. Customer service still can’t explain the problem and I will probably be dealing with them for another 6 hours.

Sigh

This kid is a LEGEND…

CNN: "Why do you want to be here?... Why do you love being a part of history?

Kid: "We're going back to the f*cking moon, that's why!" 🤣

@LaceyPresley @elonmusk Is that your USAFA jacket on it?

[Tanya Snook @tanyapsnook]

This is so true about working with any kid. He and @flipflippen need to get together. Very powerful!

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

When I visit our Minor League clubs, I don't just jump right into coaching.

The first thing I do is listen and watch. I start "collecting coins."

"Collecting coins" is finding out about who the players really are. I want to learn about them.

Were there two parents in the house growing up? Just mom? Just dad? Any mentors? Did they love school or struggle with it? What do they like to do when they're not on the field? Movies? Books? How do they learn best?

Anyone can read a scouting report and tell you about their arm strength or speed.

But real trust starts building when you take the time to learn about who someone really is.

Here's what I've learned: nobody lets you coach them until they trust you.

And they won't trust you until they know you care about them as a person, not just what they can do on the field.

Make a difference today.
Love, Clint

Look at one of my playground projects!!! This young man is in 5th grade! I am so incredibly proud of him! Don’t tell me OnShape is too hard for middle school. Kids rise to expectations every single time until you tell them they can’t.

This right here. Speak out!

@GregAbbott_TX @GovAbbottPress Texas has 1.2M public school staff, teachers, and retirees. If you’re not standing up for public schools and fighting against Gov. Abbott’s school choice plan, you’re on the wrong side. Passing it should be the end of his political career. #SupportPublicSchools #NoSchoolVouchers

[Tanya Snook @tanyapsnook]

@GregAbbott_TX Again, you need to fire your social media staff - you are putting out straight up lies. I have been teaching 29 years and haven’t met a public administrator or teacher in support of vouchers. Especially when you can’t answer our questions

[Tanya Snook @tanyapsnook]

THIS! I am now at a phone free school and it is INCREDIBLE. Kids can pay attention, they are engaged, they socialize with each other. I never thought it would be such a huge difference but it is!

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

Major new survey from National Education Association gives very strong support for phone-free schools. Any policy that lets kids have phones BETWEEN classes disrupts what happens IN class.

Give teachers a chance. Go phone-free.

Might be my favorite line. It is SO true! Be the significant adult in a child’s life!

[Tanya Snook @tanyapsnook]

@teacher_mom03 Have a great weekend - you haven’t followed me back but I haven’t posted a lot lately - going to try to fix that this year

[Tanya Snook @tanyapsnook]

It’s time to fix education - I left public education and it is the best decision I made for ME. Please support real fixes and not just bandaids. There is so much good in public school but we have to figure out how to improve it.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

2018…More teachers resigned than any other year prior

2019…A new record # of resignations
2020…That # SURPASSED.
2021…AGAIN
2022…AGAIN
2023…Broke ALL previous records

Questions: What was learned?
Answer: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

The career is simply no longer sustainable

[Tanya Snook @tanyapsnook]

@GregAbbott_TX Teachers are fleeing and there is no funding. Please remember we need to educate ALL of our kids. Sped, low socioeconomic, the abused, ALL.

[Tanya Snook @tanyapsnook]

@GregAbbott_TX Again I ask - what happens to the kids that need help the most? That don’t have any support at home (there are more than you can imagine). They can’t GET to a private school with no bus - so they are left with whatever is left.

[Tanya Snook @tanyapsnook]

@adamboxer1 Presenting another POV:I was at a HS school that was almost entirely PBL.Our math dept still did some direct instruction. We were a STEM/ECHS model and we were ranked nationally according to test results. I’m not there anymore so don’t know if it continues but I did see it work.

Whoever runs the socials also runs the traffic signs - have to love the sense of humor

[TxDOT @TxDOT]

O-U might feel the urge to rush to catch up when you’re in traffic. But in Texas, we know how to get a head start. Slow down, be safe and enjoy the ride to victory! 🤠 #RedRiverRivalry
