Fixing Education @FixingEducation

It used to be that 22% of college students majored in education. CURRENT numbers are < 4%! 😮 Instead of figuring out why, states and districts are lowering the requirements for becoming a teacher. Then some experts will ‘wonder’ why test scores have been declining. 🙄😕😡

One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them.

CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism

There’s something people are missing about what happened in Tennessee. This was personal. Rep. Justin Jones didn’t only protest for stronger gun safety. He was the activist who played a role in the bust of Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest being taken down from the…

And I would add that they should care if Kindergartners are being allowed to play, so that they can learn to get along and solve problems! It infuriates me that they are expected to be reading, test taking robots as littles that have only been on this earth for 5 years!

One of the most significant things we could do to change education for the better would be to really acknowledge difference. We could simply accept that not all five year olds are ready to read, and not all 16 year olds are ready to do high stakes exams. 1/

Imagine… I feel this as a mom who has seen this in my own children and as a teacher who has watched for 30 years as education has completely changed into a money making test machine that doesn’t care about the well being of teachers or students.

There will never be a good excuse as to why nothing can be done to help w/ raising the National Funding for #ChildhoodCancer These Children go thru the unimaginable suffering & STILL our Government believes that they’re ONLY worth 4%.

Virginia consistently ranks among the best education states in the U.S. It’s also always among the top reasons that we are ranked as a best state for business. When a politician tries to trash our schools it says more about them than it does our schools.google.com/amp/s/wset.com…

Our Children get less than 4% of federal funding, which hurts the chances of them from getting better treatments. Many of the treatments that are meant to save our Kid’s, ends up killing them. We need MORE funding & we need BETTER treatments. 🎗#ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

Culturally responsive teaching & antiracism AINT this y’all. Nope. I promise there’s more. Our BIPOC & white children deserve much more than this. This ain’t it. Damn. And so many use this as a model.
