So many things to be thankful for, but without a doubt is the health, safety, support and love of my wife, kids, family & friends. Thx to all those who have been praying, texting, emailing and been patient with me these past 8 days. I love you Amanda, Lillian & Bennett. #Jorth4

Players-Students-Youth, Remember that everything real was first imagined. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the answers now, keep imagining your future; you will find the way. One can look in any direction @uiowa for inspiration; it’s where new futures become real.🦚 @SBLhoops

Because the only one who gets to choose are the #PrivateSchools They can say NO to whoever they wish - special needs, non-English speakers, gay, lesbian, transgender … the list goes on and on. #PublicMoneyForPublicSchools
#SchoolVouchers mostly fund children already in private school. They create massive new budget obligations. Lawmakers then are forced to raid state school aid for $$ later. This is what happens in every state and it’ll happen in #Iowa #IAed #IAleg too. 😞

“Accountability” for You, “Freedom” for Me. Just call it what it is #Hypocrisy
Shorter #schoolvouchers backers: Using standardized tests to evaluate #publicschools #education is accountability. But using standardized tests to evaluate voucher schools is “over-regulation.” (Psst: This is why: tests show horrific voucher performance 👇👇👇)

Teachers build bonds for life … whether you’re a D1 basketball coach, bank teller, or farmer. #ThankATeacher #CelebratePublicSchools
How many people are blessed enough to reconnect with their 1st grade teacher, 51 years later??! Colette had a huge impact on my life. It was awesome to have her attend practice today and to have her in the stands to cheer on the Jays tomorrow!!
