Any thoughts from HS folks about the proposed ELA standards from NC? The standards are in the review/public survey period right now.
Blame on the Where the Crawdads Are book... the main travels about the state in a matter of no time. It sounds like the coast is just a few minutes away from Nashville.

North Carolina was named the worst state for workers, most notably because of a lack of livable wages amidst a high cost of living.

It makes no sense at all that legislators are giving millions (and soon billions) to private schools that have no accountability at all for how $$ are spent. Call your legislators and ask for a full accounting. Are students even learning? #nced #ncpublicschools #novouchers #ncpol

Gov. Cooper’s statement on Republicans agreeing to spend more taxpayer dollars on their private school voucher scheme:

The House and Senate are poised to increase voucher funding AGAIN when they return to Raleigh on Mon. Can you think of better ways that $248 MILLION should be spent than on private tuition for wealthy families? Let us know. CONTACT your legislators! #nced #ncpol #ncpublicschools
Just read a Public Schools First NC article that says private schools have raised tuition since the latest round of school vouchers passed. 😒 No one saw that coming, right?

This week, students in 11 school districts across North Carolina returned to the classroom. Together, these counties stand to lose over $6 million because of the Republican voucher scheme.

Private school voucher programs are hurting students and taxpayers across the country. Republican lawmakers in NC need to read the writing on the wall and put a moratorium on private school vouchers until our public schools are fully funded.

So inspired by NC educators and the work they are putting in to shifts systems for kids! Humbled to be a part of the vision and implementation among the best! #NCReadLeadSucceed
For the third year in a row, North Carolina’s kindergarten through third grade students have outperformed the national average on end-of-year literacy assessments!

Most students on the Opportunity Scholarship waitlist have household incomes higher than two-thirds of North Carolinians. #nced #ncpol
That’s everyone in Tier 3 & 4 and the top of Tier 2. The median household income in NC is $67k, via US Census data.

“I don’t walk as easily as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job.”
Exactly the right message.
