Last week I checked out a dope charter school (Stem Prep) in West Adams and it reminded me of my charter school experience. #DiscoverCharters #Studentcentered #PublicSchools #edchat

The charter petition we delivered to the LA County Office of Education including all follow up requests. Hmmm I wonder why fewer charters are opening? And what about accountability? ⁦Michael Petrilli⁩ ⁦Gates Foundation⁩ ⁦Comrade Chris⁩ ⁦The Daily Show⁩

In order for Measure EE to pass, it's going to take every single voter who believes that all children in Los Angeles deserve a quality education to make their voice heard and vote yes. The Parent Power Network is out in force to make sure people know to vote #YesOnEE on June 4th!

This hat says it all. What #MAGA is to immigration this AFT platform is to education. What’s different is bad, what’s old and white and established is good

I know it’s been a while since AP Gov, but I don’t recall “stifling competition” being a core function of government to promote the general welfare #Doyourjoblegislators #KidsNotPolitics #standforall

It’s our moral imperative to ensure all kids have access to a great public education. Public as in, open to all and maintained at the public’s expense. Not as in, must-be-provided-by-government. There seems to be quite a bit of confusion in Sacramento... #Stand4All

Angelenos are planning to vote Yes on measure EE Tuesday! Our students deserve full funding! #YesOnEE Yes on EE

Thanks to KMEX for featuring Speak UP parents getting out the vote for the Measure EE election June 4. "It is very important that all parents and everyone, any other member of the community that can vote, get out and vote. Every vote is important." Cristina V. Pérez #YesOnEE Parent Revolution

It’s time to vote!

Congrats Para Los Niños!

When 80%+ of education spending goes to paychecks, it's not hard to understand why changing the status quo is unpopular LA School Report laschoolreport.com/antonucci-want…

Love this measured and thoughtful perspective on the charter debate from my home town newspaper SignalSCV signalscv.com/2019/06/our-vi…

UPDATE: Right now, there's a tie vote in the Senate Ed. Committee on #AB1505 & #AB1507. Mike McGuire Dr. Richard Pan 🇺🇸 Ling Ling Chang have until the end of the day to vote. Join the hundreds of parents, students, & educators at the Capitol today calling on them to vote NO! #KidsNotPolitics 1/2

“We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist, using technologies that haven’t been invented, in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet” - Richard Riley

“Whether we actually take that last step and decide to do it or not, we’re not there yet.” says Austin Beutner after over a year of preparation and stakeholder meetings. Will we ever see something bold from this Superintendent? lat.ms/2PdhZWP

27.5% of high school students say they use e-cigarettes, according to preliminary data from the CDC, up from 11.7% in 2017. Horrifying

Charter schools are changing life trajectories of low income minority kids that have historically been left behind. Black and Latino families strongly support charter schools. Who doesn’t? White liberals, who also turn out more in elections and thus perpetuate their interests...

Cultural Parasitism: An ideology parasitizes the mind, changing the host’s behavior so they spread it to other people. Therefore, a successful ideology (the only kind we hear about) is not configured to be true; it is configured only to be easily transmitted and easily believed.

“Juneteenth exists as a counterpoint to the Fourth of July,” jelani cobb writes: “the latter heralds the arrival of American ideals, the former stresses just how hard it has been to live up to them.” nyer.cm/UhbfPk9
