  • @DrStevePerry You have to remember that traditional public education remains plagued by low expectations at nearly every level #edreform in reply to DrStevePerry #
  • @DrStevePerry To demand high expectations is heresy among the #NEA #AFT/ed school crowd. #edreform in reply to DrStevePerry #

  • Of course, the wealth gap btwn blacks and whites are caused largely by the #edgap btwn blacks and whites. The college-educated… #edreform #

  • American public education is responsible for the #edgap part. Parents and community? The rest is your part. #edreform #BlackEd #
  • And with the way ed handles the first, parents/communities will have to take on the first part too. #edreform #BlackEd #ParentPower #
  • RT @DrStevePerry: We questioned unions @ time when doing so was unheard of. Cable/print seemed to join conversation. It's happening again. #
  • @iwantwealth Your welcome! I just note that my fiancee and I are paying for a wedding. In cash. No debt (not that we can afford it). in reply to iwantwealth #
  • Yes. In an age of platinum weddings , some people are paying for weddings out of pocket. Keeping it reasonable. Amazing. #
  • At the end of the day, a wedding will be great because you, your love and your friends and family are there. #
  • @iwantwealth Thank you. in reply to iwantwealth #
  • Don't think for a moment that those folks doing up the platinum weddings are doing it on cash. Nah. It's all borrowed. #
  • And they will all be paying that bill for years (along with the cost of the $20K ring). #

  • @DarlaBunting Exactly. That problem is the underlying cause of special ed overuse. Boys make up two out of every three kids in #sped in reply to DarlaBunting #
  • RT @DrStevePerry: Teacher accountability is another subject that has gone from taboo to typical. Just last year it was out of the question. #
  • RT @DrStevePerry: Now this issue isn't if we can hold teachers accountable based upon student performance, now the issue is when. #edreform #
  • RT @DrStevePerry: This is an exciting time in public ed. Progressives have the gatekeepers of status quo on the run. #edreform #
  • Tonight's Maxim RT @ClaytonMuhammad: Being just good enough is simply not good enough. #
  • RT @DarlaBunting: one of the male students at my school would get in trouble daily by one of my co-workers bc he wouldn't take his hat off. #
  • RT @DarlaBunting: talked to him and realized he didn't want to take his hat off bc his fam couldn't afford to get him a cut. #
  • RT @DarlaBunting: @dropoutnation We have to talk to our boys and get to the root of the problem. #
  • RT @DarlaBunting: Our boys have so many issues they're dealing with, but we would never know. So many are quick to penalize and not help. #
  • RT @sgsnead: @dropoutnation GOD, I can't tell you how much that irks me!! Classroom management people, classroom management. #
  • RT @sgsnead: again, it all boils down to classroom management. You have to KNOW your students to teach them & lead them. #
  • RT @DrStevePerry: Throughout the country we all need to step up the pressure on local educators' unions & boards of education #edreform #
  • RT @DrStevePerry: because both are to blame for the failure of our public schools. #edreform #
  • But it will take more than just reforming trad. teacher compensation, tenure, forcing #NEA #AFT to accept reforms. #
  • We must change what it means to be a teacher in America. Widen the options for all teachers to have great careers #edreform #
  • Why can't great teachers get startup grants and bonuses for starting schools? Why not? #edreform #
  • Why don't we bring in people with experience starting programs into teaching? Folks with experience in perseverance? #edreform #
