That’s not just random advice. I was a teacher for 16 years.

Wow, what a good years you worked.

rctforbes.bsky.social•101 days ago

That's not how it happens yet.

Odds that Trump appoints Ryan Walters Sec of Ed?

littlewing72.bsky.social•101 days ago

Worst nightmare. But will there even be an appointee if he’s dismantling the department?

For everyone that took an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic… Donald Trump is a domestic enemy and he must be stopped

I thought he appointed Lauren Boebert.

sfhaine.bsky.social•101 days ago

Was that a joke ? Or did he really nominate her?

susieq56.bsky.social•101 days ago

I guess it was a joke……that’s the problem with fake news stories that appear to be real and get shares 1000’s of times!🫨

I see some MAGA on here. Be sure to block them. As to all the Teachers, I respect everything you do.

spaghettineutrl.bsky.social•101 days ago

I just blocked that creep

Vast majority of teachers will continue to do what they know is right for their students. As a former educator, I know this.

suedavis.bsky.social•101 days ago

And more citizens and former teachers will step up to help.

slotraret.bsky.social•101 days ago

Principled red-state teachers especially have an opportunity to be front-line heroes in the fight against institutional bigotry. I don’t envy them, but know they will fight.

radvek.bsky.social•101 days ago

As a former teacher, I plan on continuing to advocate for students’ needs.

Jess, the DOE is their favorite punching bag. I look for them to appoint a ridiculous person like Ryan Walters. But who knows?

Some of us are fortunate to work in states that value public education and with strong unions. I fear for the states that have never subsisted without federal DOE guidance and regulations.

bronx-bomberfan92.bsky.social•101 days ago

NCLB and RTT were created for those states but made educators in the top states sing for our supper and continue to innovate. We will be fine. The rest will be damaged irreparably

caesq.bsky.social•101 days ago

What does this mean for student loans? That is my fear…

mamaloza.bsky.social•101 days ago

Do what is best for ALL students at ALL costs! Let’s have each other’s backs!

theotherbetsy.bsky.social•101 days ago

Feeling that way as a mental health professional as well.

stillythekid.bsky.social•101 days ago

Federal DoEd was created in 1980, and education has gotten worse by nearly every single metric since then. What function, exactly, are you so enthusiastic to protect? Asking seriously.

loveandtolerance.bsky.social•101 days ago

Correct. The state has no right to run their own schools. Local schools are better served by a single federal government body in DC. This is common sense.

2024fighter.bsky.social•101 days ago

That’s…. Not how this works. That’s not how ANY of this works.
