America spends more on education than almost any other country, yet our reading and math scores are the WORST in the G7 and G20. Why? Unions.
Unions protect mediocrity and keep bad teachers in place, while great teachers who actually make an impact get underpaid. That’s insane! If we want to fix education, we need to fire the bad teachers and pay the great ones a LOT more.
I’m all for rewarding results. If you’re advancing math and reading scores, you should be making a great salary. If you’re holding students back, you’re out!
Congratulations America: in the past 12 months you paid a record $1.167 trillion in interest on the federal debt; this is more than all US spending on Defense, Health and Income Security, and only Social Security spending is bigger (for 3 years at which interest will surpass it)
Teams that have won three consecutive @NFL Championships:

Congrats to the @Eagles on winning the LOMBARDI trophy.
If you are at your child’s game or practice today ,
STOP !!
Put the phone down and have conversations in between plays .
You might miss the best part of your child’s day and that would be brutal !!
It goes quickly. Don’t miss it !!
University presidents everywhere need to embrace this simple statement by Ben Sasse, President of the University of Florida:
"At the University of Florida, we have repeatedly, patiently explained two things to protesters: We will always defend your rights to free speech and free assembly—but if you cross the line on clearly prohibited activities, you will be thrown off campus and suspended. In Gainesville, that means a three-year prohibition from campus. That’s serious. We said it. We meant it. We enforced it. We wish we didn’t have to, but the students weighed the costs, made their decisions, and will own the consequences as adults. We’re a university, not a daycare. We don’t coddle emotions, we wrestle with ideas."
