We loved what @Rdene915 said about TCI’s 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘈𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦! program in this year’s Best of STEM Awards. 💜 She shared how bringing real-world relevance into science helps students stay curious, confident, and connected. #STEM #STEMEducation #STEMChat

Her social studies are so very proud! She understands the assignment!!

Mansfield ISD salutatorian used her platform and time wisely. She gave a terrific speech calling out book bans and vouchers. Bravo!



🤦‍♀️maybe some of the free courses from Harvard on government might be a good ideas for some of our leaders: pll.harvard.edu/subject/govern…

TAPPER: I really have a difficult time imagining that if this was a Democratic president holding a dinner for top investors in his private cryptocurrency, you wouldn't be outraged MIKE JOHNSON: Look, I don't know anything about the dinner. I was a little busy this past week, so…



Well, not much the Tx ledge does makes sense!

The Tx ledge is concerned about uncertified teachers in public schools but gave 10,000 dollars per kid to private schools who don’t have to have certified teachers!!! Make it make sense!



So proud to have been a part of the years leading up to this award! 💛🖤💛🖤💛Once a Jag, always a Jag 💛🖤💛🖤💛

When kids choose NOT to brush their teeth, should we blame the dentist? Obviously not. How is it that when kids choose NOT to complete assignments, we’ve normalized blaming the teacher?
