@FixingEducation School Districts should have administrators that do the things educators don’t know how to do. I.e. finance, facilities, HR… Educational decisions should be made by teachers and principal teachers based on the needs of the kids at the school site.

@NicholasFerroni Isn't this called a "Professional Development Day?"

@Sisyphus38 Only if you threaten them with a lifetime of failure and mock them in front of their peers. That’s the secret.

[Jason Miller @trueblue_1975]

@sage_stage More likely that they put their heading in the right place and filed papers in the right folders. Most grades reflect this far more than subject matter mastery.

@marshalldavidt2 @tpress87 @hpatrinos That’s the tip of the iceberg. Look at truency rates, suspensions and expulsions, and special education referrals.

@Sisyphus38 Are you on Thread or Mastadon yet? I have to get off of this platform but you present great thoughts that I don’tt want to lose.

@ellen_pdx @QTheLibertine1 @joshtpm @RepRalphNorman Because it is becoming increasingly clear that education is fundamental to the survival of democracy. The ignorant and uneducated are propelling the country towards destruction.

@PachlarzDaryn @POTUS @BarackObama The idea that one does not need these skills because they practice a trade is what has gotten us into this mess in the first place.

[Jason Miller @trueblue_1975]

@PachlarzDaryn @POTUS @BarackObama The great irony is that many people who did not attend college (and some who did) mistake college as job training. College is about learning to think critically, understand how to review data, develop empathy, and quell bias. These are essential skills for anyone in a Republic.

@MattWalshBlog Kinda like black folks at lunch counters and on the bus, right?

[Jason Miller @trueblue_1975]

@ksorbs Educated people make the world better. Uneducated people make the world worse. Investing in educating people is the best investment we can make for the world.

[Jason Miller @trueblue_1975]

@VivekGRamaswamy How many years did you spend as a classroom teacher?

[Jason Miller @trueblue_1975]

@MattWalshBlog The University is not and never has been about job training. It is about learning the skills of thinking critically, creatively, and emphatically in order to improve our collective civilization.

@PamelaTessmer @WallacesOwner @charliekirk11 The life of every American improves when an individual is educated. The education helps everyone. The same cannot be said for a mortgage or a car loan. We, the people, should be paying for those who choose to become educated - they should not have to do it alone.

@160Farms It’s almost twice that in Oakland, Ca.

@SteveFarris14 @FixingEducation Not to go all Maslow on the situation but, at the end of the day, it’s more important that the one kid learns how to respond to adversity that the other 29 learn about prepositions.

[Jason Miller @trueblue_1975]

@SteveFarris14 @FixingEducation We need to rebuild systems so you can. Teachers are expected to do way too many different things at once. But we can’t let a kid’s most basic needs not get met because of business - we need to fix the system.

[Jason Miller @trueblue_1975]

@Cynloveslangs @FixingEducation First of all, I don't know where "rights" came into this. Secondly, your choice of bringing 'rights' into it only proves the point. If education is a right, the notion that other kids are "trying to get an education" is irrelevant.

[Jason Miller @trueblue_1975]

@SteveFarris14 @FixingEducation Of course. But what if they don't/can't?
