It is official @OlleLibrary is loved by students. We broke the spreadsheet. We exceeded the allottment of input to count our students coming to the library. What a great problem to have. #LibraryOnFire #MakingADifference @Alief_Libraries @OlleMightyOwls

Our librarian is the absolute best. She has the most innovative ideas and makes the @OlleLibrary an amazing space in our school. It is ALWAYS packed. We love you, Ms. Bennett! @AliefISD

Standardized testing needs to focus on this specific *taught* content, not innate scholastic aptitude.
School should be held accountable for what they teach, not how poor or privileged their students are.

One thing a lot of people don’t realize is that many states have raised their dropout age to 18, so we have many more older students who are checked out and have decided that school is not for them.
We need far more vocational programs to engage them.

Schools need real consequences for unacceptable behavior. They need detention, suspension, alternative schools, and expulsion.
Such consequences are often a gift in the form of a wake-up call and reset for the students who experience them.

Second, we need to make sure that every school is actually a safe place to be for every student.
Some students don’t want to come to school because their school is chaotic and violent and nobody is learning anything.
Ms. N. Lewis retweeted
Students also need to be held accountable for their learning. Otherwise, why would they bother?
No more passing automatically even if you don’t show up and do your work. It needs to become possible to fail classes again.

First, as I discussed yesterday, school needs to become mandatory again.
Parents need to be held accountable—by the courts—for educational neglect.
Homeschool, do virtual, or get your kid to school every day. Parents must parent.

Changing from one zip-code school to a better one won't make a difference unless parents are willing to do the hard work of changing the culture at home.
Good morning.

I wonder if there’s any possible way for American society to get back to a place where lying actually has consequences for people’s reputations and opportunities

Teachers, never let family time be shortchanged. If something happened to you, they would replace you fairly quickly at school but you're irreplaceable at home.

One thing millennials have going for them is that they'll never have a midlife crisis—because their entire lives have been a series of crises.

Today in 2021, Houstonians awaken to snow, a hard freeze, and a failed state electric grid, lasting days for many, thanks to an unprepared and unregulated system. #houwx – at Houston, TX
