You can't use the parks budget to redo your backyard. You can't use the highway budget to repave your driveway. You can't use the police budget to hire a personal security guard. And rich people can't use our public school budget to pay for private school. Say no to vouchers.

Horrible news out of McKinney ISD tonight. We were in dire need for school funding two years ago and Greg Abbott didn’t allow it unless vouchers also passed. Now we are in desperate need! These are our kids Greg! Do the right thing fuck the $220 increase! #Saynotovouchers

There is a concerted attack on public schools in Texas. This is a map of the money and groups out front leading the charge. Yes, it is elected leaders like Abbott, Patrick, and other lawmakers, but it's billionaires, PACs, and Organizations pulling the strings. #txlege #txed

Pathetic.
To all educators across the state, you are the only state employees not getting a raise, our state values you less than school choice vouchers. Please see this letter from @KingForTexas regarding efforts in the house. @GregAbbott_TX promised to fully fund public schools.He failed

Texas: 9th largest economy in the world, 39th in the country for public school funding. Until that changes, no one in the #TxLege has fulfilled their campaign promises to educators & parents. Thank you, Rep. @GinaforAustin, for speaking truth. 👏

Vouchers and ESAs reduce equitable access to educational opportunities and weaken rights of students with disabilities. Now is the time to tell your legislators that vouchers and ESAs are unacceptable for Texas: p2a.co/Cx1pLUi #TxEd #TxLege #vOUCHersHurt

He just makes things up as he goes along to divide people and get his way. Don’t be taken in. He’s a liar and a charlatan who lacked the leadership to get us through the pandemic properly.
Speaking before parents at a Catholic school in San Antonio, Abbott claimed that the pledge of allegiance was not being performed in a Dallas school. Thus, pub schools were not patriotic. Wrong. Every pub school must say the Pledge each school day. TX Ed Code §25.082. @Texans4E

Distractions, confusing material, or an overwhelming amount of information can tax a student’s working memory. Here are tips that can help.

Truth. To all those fear filled individuals trying to ban books…… If your kids have access to the Internet and social media, then THAT is what you should be concerned about, not if they check out a book from the library. 🤦‍♀️
Woo Hoo! Go #vegaelem!! 🎉🎉 Thanks for coming to see us!

So, knowing this…should we continue to let students have phones in class?
How does the mere presence of a cell phone impact students? The research is pretty compelling.
