TN ranks 44th in per pupil spending. It would be nice to have leaders who recognize that public education is the bedrock of civilization and who commit to fully funding the one entity that supports all students who walk through its doors, even when resources are scarce.
An important story for Tennesseans:
"Last year, Arizona became the first state in the nation to offer universal school choice for all families. ...Now Critics worry that the state's new school choice program is a subsidy for the affluent."

It’s defeating to spend a whole career telling kids that life works best when we all play by the rules, only to have our legislature act like this. If a bill is solid, it passes without added arm-twisting. If this money is there, why hasn’t it been invested in our kids already?
House Republicans rammed through a billion dollar voucher scam in 4hr+ committee hearing tonight, repeatedly violating House rules and disparaging TN’s public schools. The heist is afoot, TN taxpayers. Public education is not safe in this state w/

If you do not follow Dan Wuori, you are missing out. As someone who loves the language development process, his videos and insight constantly amaze me. As an added bonus, you simply can not be in a bad mood after watching them.
“Cookie?” 🍪
As children advance as language users, sometimes one or two words can take on the meaning of an entire sentence.
In this case, it turns out that “cookie?” doesn’t mean “Would you like a cookie?” - but rather “Hey, do you see this cookie I’m about to eat?”

My school kiddos were back for 3 days before we were sent back home again today. As we were gathering materials and supplies to go home, one of my little guys told a friend, “I think I need a beer.” Most years, I would be appalled. In 2020, I tend to agree.

This precious video illustrates part of what English Learners encounter while acquiring their new language. A slide can be a baseball move or it can be a piece of playground equipment. There are over 6,000 homonyms in our language.

I am proud of Hawkins County’s Director of Schools, Matt Hixson, for his honest reflection of struggles that school systems across this state face. $2B per year in ADDITIONAL funding would go a long way in remedying some of these challenges. It is obvious the funds are there.

Sure, it’s also a mental health issue, but guns make it too easy to kill 14 kids in seconds, long before help arrives. If you are the kind of person who starts harping about your fear of losing your rights after an incident like this, YOU are part of the problem.

Today, one of my little guys brought me this beautiful ring and suggested that since I’m already married, maybe it could be a promise ring and that maybe I could just promise to love him forever. It’s a promise, big guy, it’s absolutely a promise.

Your understanding of the judicial process and its purpose clearly make you unfit to serve as a legislator. You’re a little confused here, plus having the guy who cowered to the governor on the voucher bill tell people to “stay the course” is laughable.

Congratulations to Rogersville City School’s Lady Warriors, the UNDEFEATED TMSAA Area 1 champs! They are headed to the state tournament next weekend for the second straight year. So proud of these girls and their coaches. Bulls Gap School’s boys’ Bulldogs are also TMSAA champs.

It’s just not supposed to end like this. Today should have been the best day of the school year- the day our kids decorate boards for our annual Wax Museum. Instead, this was our room when I went to school today to close things out. Teacher grief is real. 😢

Today’s Tennessee Education Association’s Teaching and Learning Symposium in Knoxville was an incredible professional development opportunity for TEA members. No one supports Tennessee’s teachers like TEA!

Even if they do, this isn’t a valid year at all, given the circumstances. I’m shocked there’s any debate about this. It’s not like we are in a pandemic or anything crazy and unprecedented like that.

I bet all of those legislators feel exactly like teachers do after they send a kid to the office and he comes back with a Sprite and a candy bar.

I wasn’t a huge Butch fan, but maybe he was actually onto something about that whole “Champions of Life” thing.

I’m a little amused by the fact that he’s more intimidated by the governor than the woman he resides with. Pretty sure that’s a sign of low intelligence for most men.
