Since the Texas Senate was so interesting, I pulled the 85th & 86th Texas House scores from @projecteduco. Yep, just like the senate, on average, the more money ET World gave to a House member in the 18 cycle, the worse they score on supporting pub ed. 🤔#txed #txlege
@KHancock4TX @TonjaGray01 @projecteduco @pastors4txkids @RYHTexas @tasbnews @OfficialATPE @mishshel @TxEdVote @txstatepta Set a bar. Agree that any teacher who reaches the bar will receive some level of pay / incentive. That’s fair. Create a forced distribution system where you only ALLOW 5 teachers to get $90k, who may not really be better teachers than 1,500 just like them. That’s a gimmick.
A little boy with some extreme anger and behavior issues is recent transfer into the school. He’d been attending a local charter school and got kicked out because of his behavior. What happens when charter schools kick out the troubled child the school has accepted a voucher for?
The possibility of more budget cuts for public schools, larger class sizes, and cuts to teacher retirement benefits causes me to worry about the future of Texas. The next #txlege session is vital for the solvency of Texas public education. I'm still in this fight. Are you?
Pro-Public Ed Texans, you made a difference by voting in the 2018 midterm. Keep the HEAT on the legislature in this next session to advocate for fair funding & to halt the privatization attack. #Relentless4PublicEd #OurPublicSchools @pastors4txkids @TxEdVote @TXParentPAC

Why do so many serving in the military support Trump? He dodged the draft. He won't visit personnel overseas, and has already shown he'll deploy them for petty political motives. Now he won't even honour the dead - because it's raining... He respects Kim Jong-un more...
FOUR THINGS YOU CANNOT GET BACK: 🔺The STONE after it is THROWN. 🔺The WORD after it is SAID. 🔺The OCCASION after it is MISSED. 🔺The TIME after it is GONE.
@60regular @pastors4txkids @CollierForTexas @DanPatrick @60regular you are most likely right. @DanPatrick has a not so hidden agenda that is fueled by @EmpowerTexans West Texas deep pockets. #WeWontStop @Texans4E #wearepurple ##propubliceducation
To win World War I, brave Americans fought through snow, mud, & sand with bombs dropping from above, landmines in the ground below, & bullets flying at their faces. The least of their worries was rain. It’s an embarrassment @realDonaldTrump can’t find his way to honor our fallen.
@jayleeson @OSTXshow @kseliger @DanPatrick @GovAbbott Lets see: 1. Refusing to debate 2. Insulting the intelligence of voters with stereotypical campaign ads 3. Running on a platform of Straight-ticket voting.
The teachers are still coming. And this time they’re bringing the parents, the administrators, the bus drivers, the grandparents, the counselors, the paras, the librarians....
Public ed determined 2018 elections. Those supporting it, like @beverlypowelltx @NathanForTexas @juliejohnsonTX and many others, won. Those opposing & attacking it, like most @EmpowerTexans candidates, lost. #txlege members on the fence about #txed better get off of it now!
I’m going to remember that we fought this fight together so our children will have the schools they deserve and our teachers will have the resources they need…
“An unsung positive sign for #txed was the close race that @CollierForTexas ran against @DanPatrick. Collier waged a robust pro-public education race, and lost by less than five points. This serves a terse notice to Patrick that his anti-public education platform is crumbling.”
“Privatization will have a harder time making it past the Senate in 2019. These bad ideas have prevailed in Senate, due to Patrick’s strong-arm tactics, only to be squashed by the more moderate House, but Tuesday results make this strategy far less likely. bit.ly/2zHT7vd
Ok elections are over. I’m ready for my middle class tax cut (coming very soon)and $10000 raise! I’m going to Disneyworld!
I don't think a White House Press Pool boycott is a good idea in response to Jim Acosta. That's what Trump wants. We need the press back there and asking the questions they don't want to answer. This is important more now than ever.
Amen, Senator-Elect Powell. Public education is a nonpartisan investment. Us rational Republicans are with you 100%!
I’m going to remember that we fought this fight together so our children will have the schools they deserve and our teachers will have the resources they need…
