OPINION: @AnaheimUHSD is jettisoning teach-to-test instruction, and creating opportunities for students to have choice and voice in their learning to ensure every graduate is career- and college-ready. #caedu #edchat #teaching

1 in 6 kids in his own state don’t have enough food—but this guy thinks poverty isn’t a problem because he doesn’t know any poor people. That is sick. Maybe if his party spent less time trying to ban books & more time listening to parents, he’d know how huge a problem hunger is.
