I take a dive into issues plaguing public education to aide in creating a positive change.

Show Notes:

[Brandon Copic @BrandonCopicWx]

Amen. Anytime I see someone in the field I like to stick close by to ensure if anyone tries to harass them I can move them away. Our friends in the media deserve respect for all they do. Just let them do their jobs

@Timcast The fact that one of these is considered a riot and the other was considered a protest is insane.

It's all peaceful protests until some important people get scared. Then it's a riot.

[Vex-Ed Podcast @vex_edpc]

@Timcast With some simple math, you can see that Trump has more support overall. This really becomes a straw-man argument, designed to separate and make one group appear superior to another. Not like the dems haven't already been doing that since the beginning of the party anyway...

So, which one is accurate?

Pow, right in the kisser!

Imagine if food stamps went directly to Walmart regardless of your choice

That would be great for Walmart

Not so much for families.

Yet that's exactly how we fund education.

Taking their tests again adds unneeded stress in an already stressful time. Let's not make this harder than it needs to be.

The issues that arose from the the online AP tests make sense. However, the way College Board is handling it does not. The tests are shorter, but that doesn't mean students are feeling less pressure to do well. https://t.co/nijzf9tilq

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist @DeAngelisCorey]

Homeschooling isn't an "experiment"

People were learning at home for thousands of years.

Government schooling is the experiment.

And that experiment is in trouble.

@PodcastMovement Any #educator who's tired of the system, and has some ideas on how we could improve education.

[Vex-Ed Podcast @vex_edpc]

What's going on right now with schools is not "#homeschooling" in the classic definition. The pain being felt is a by-product of a system unprepared and forced to implement curriculum in a way it wasn't designed to do. https://t.co/RSiMKaOIQv

The #schoolyear is coming to an end soon. How did your child do with the abrupt change to online learning? While you eagerly await Ep. 3 - Public School Alternatives, here's a list of 100+ free online high schools by state. https://t.co/VHTMVYRFvy via @prepscholar

I think we are in the midst of a #change in the educational climate. One could say #educationalclimatechange

[Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist @DeAngelisCorey]

I'll give you one guess:

@FindThatPod Oh no! Am I too late?

[Vex-Ed Podcast @vex_edpc]

@PodcastMovement My perspective that #publiceducation is failing in many ways and will continue to fail if we don't start making real, informed changes as soon as possible.

Listen to "Episode 2 - The Parents" by Vex-Ed. ⚓ https://t.co/d9nmkujWuY It's finally out today! Monday's will be my planned upload schedule, but who knows. I need to get ahead of this thing!

[Vex-Ed Podcast @vex_edpc]

This article is #propaganda and includes gross assumptions about #homeschooling. Whenever someone suggests taking power away from parents and putting in the hands of government, I will not stand for it. I found my topic to cover on @vex_edpc next week!

[Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist @DeAngelisCorey]

Imagine thinking:

(1) That a home is a prison whereas a compulsory government school is not.

(2) That homeschool children don't go outside to play.

[Vex-Ed Podcast @vex_edpc]

If this goes the way I think it's going to go, and I hope it doesn't. There may be less of a #teachershortage as more classes will be taught blended or schools will move completely online.

Before this pandemic there was already a shortage of teachers in the US, w/ over 300,000 vacancies around the country. I worry to see what it will be after this. Are states and the government preparing for this upcoming crisis?

@PodcastMovement I'm so new to it, that it all sticks out! It's such a rush publishing an episode, or my mind racing at night as I think of new ideas or topics to cover. It's certainly an addicting feeling! So far, no listeners yet though...

I've always believed the current grading system lacks something. Personally, I'd like to see % ranges expanded out. Here is 12 Alternatives To Letter Grades In Education via @teachthought https://t.co/V2tsEE5pbw
