We are the wealthiest country in the world and yet this is how we treat our seniors and veterans. If you support Trump and Republicans ripping away SNAP, Medicaid, and Obamacare subsidies to give tax cuts to billionaires — GO FUCK YOURSELF. 😳👇

What happened between Jan. 29 and Feb. 7 that each of these rural #TxEd school districts had their state funding *instantaneously* cut by $550K, $750K, $900K, & $2.7M?!
A #FinanceFriday 🧵.

Make no mistake about it, vouchers have a significant negative impact on voucher-users' achievement, walk back civil rights victories, & are a massive distraction from our state's failures to adequately fund public education & public health amid record budget surpluses. @TexasAFT @IDRAedu @EveryTxn @txstateteachers @TASA @DianeRavitch @pastors4txkids @ACLUTx @NAACP @MALDEF @joshcowenMSU @MomsAGAbbott @UCEA @dsknight84 @tasbnews @AFTunion @TexasTribune @HeathKeri @TexasStandard

If Texans wanted vouchers, a billionaire-funded political war chest wouldn't be needed to mislead the public, unseat republicans who vote against it, & push out misleading or inaccurate info. $$ doesn't change the fact that vouchers were spawned as a racist policy, fail students, & explode budgets. @TexasAFT @txstateteachers @MomsAGAbbott @pastors4txkids @RYHTexas @joshcowenMSU @GinaForAustin @TexasStandard @aseebhaiya @eliz_sander @DianeRavitch @UCEA @DisRightsTx @tasanet @tasbnews @AlecMacGillis

🚨WOW🚨This is one of the most clear and concise breakdowns of #TrumpIsProject2025 I’ve seen so far! @MollyJongFast hits it out of the park, y’all need to stop what you’re doing and watch this!👇#wtpBlue #DemVoice1
Absolutely fascinating listening to Juan Gonzalez author of “Harvest of Empire: History of Latinos in America” discuss demographic shifts in the US.
In the fall ‘22 LatinX youth made up 28.7% of US public school enrollment! 🚸📚

“Because we approach math in a playful way, my students actually remember what they learn when we do math. We reach more children because a lot of students need to have it in their hands to understand what's going on."

Conversations about African and Indigenous cultures are essential for learning about the history of our country and making connections with a broader world.

Ask, and you shall receive. Students who studied a lesson and then wrote their own questions outperformed students who simply restudied the material by 33 percent on a follow-up test. 📈
ALT Students who studied a lesson and then wrote their own questions outperformed students who simply restudied the material by 33 percent on a follow-on test. Other research shows that students learn better when they are “trained to generate cognitively challenging questions.” Work with students to identify crucial themes or insights, and model how to write more complex, open-ended questions that start with “explain,” “why,” or “how.” Sources: Bugg & McDaniel, 2012; Ebersbach, Feierabend, & Nazari, 2020; Levin & Arnold, 2008
