Everytime a teacher writer expresses doubt about whether their work is new/good/special enough, I want to say look at the absolute idiots taking up space saying this nonsense with their whole chests.

ECCA is a FEDERAL bill that would apply to all states, even if voters in those states don't want vouchers. Everybody needs to call their reps and keep it out of the budget.

Louisa (incredulous) : in my math class, the average number of pets is 2! Do you want me to be below average, Mom? (We have no pets. 😂)

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.
