When Nineveh repented, God forgave Israel’s greatest enemy. Jonah hated this show of mercy. And yet there’s a lesson here that could change our lives for good. Want to see it? 👇 https://t.co/WN4NEdvOHg

We begin Chapter 3 with Jonah walking straight to Nineveh to deliver the prophecy God directed, albeit extremely curtly: “Forty more days, and Nineveh will be overthrown (3:4). There was no mention…

When Nineveh repented, God forgave Israel’s enemy. Jonah couldn’t bear it. Want to see the huge lesson this story teaches our divided world...and us?👇 https://t.co/ev0RPtwhh9

Hmm. If academic rigor is what's causing the spike in ADHD, depression & anxiety in young Americans, shouldn't these trends have reversed over the past decade of lax standards & grade inflation? https://t.co/6FZsqDL2BE

From A.D.H.D. to anxiety, disorders have risen as the expectations of childhood have changed.

Jonah is the only prophet who runs from God. And the usual explanations for his flight rarely do justice to what’s actually happening. It wasn’t simple fear. It wasn’t cowardice. And it wasn’t inex…

@ConnieStil2565 @usedgov You’re misinformed, indoctrinated, or shilling for the Education Iron Triangle. No federal policy enforced stronger state and local accountability for student outcomes than No Child Left Behind. Obama’s Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) gutted that accountability—data prove it.
Thank you, Senator Banks. Would you join me in fixing the broken IDEA? Let’s stop propping up a 50-year-old law that an increasing number of states blatantly fail to follow. Instead, repeal IDEA and redirect every federal dollar currently tied to it directly to the eligible

When life’s waves rise, some of us wake up, pray, and do what’s right. Some just… go below deck. Want to learn exactly what this story teaches about right action? Look here.👇 https://t.co/ntG2gFEkJu

Jonah slept through the storm. The “outsiders” on deck were the ones who did what was right. Want to see the steps they took – and how that can help us live better? Look here.👇 https://t.co/MQAmnLlaLi

@KokoWhite120434 Except for a fleeting accountability-fueled uptick during the No Child Left Behind era, U.S. student achievement has largely stagnated—despite per-pupil spending tripling in real terms—ever since Jimmy Carter bartered our kids’ and Republic’s futures for the teachers’ unions’
@matthewladner @HeritageOnEd Despair, indeed! What had been a significant trend up in achievement from the mid-1990s until 2011, the era of consequential accountability, is no more! When accountability began to be eviscerated, achievement fell. NOW WE AWAIT THE MIGHTY LORD OF CHOICE. BOW DOWN, ALL, & PRAY!
