My Fellow Citizens of District 8 and the Great State of Utah, Today I declare, without apology or hesitation, that I will not seek re-election to the Utah State Board of Education. I am done lending my name, my vote, and my silence to a broken, corrupt, and morally bankrupt

If an NGO is receiving taxpayer dollars in any form, I believe it should be open and accountable to the taxpayers, like being subject to public records requests and audits. Why this isn’t the case is beyond me.

The ACLU filed suit to force Utah schools to expose our public school CHILDREN to pornographic and indecent materials that are too indecent/pornographic to be shown or read to ADULTS in legislative or school board meetings! #BringItOn #AdultsProtectChildren Period!

A huge win for parental rights: A federal court ruled parents have a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to know about their child’s ‘gender transition.’ No surprise @GavinNewsom’s state appealed. The Trump Admin stands firm: kids belong to parents, not the government.

Schools thought children would learn to read by just being surrounded by words and books. They didn’t. Schools thought children would embrace and enjoy math if they were just given more opportunities to “discover” it on their own. They didn’t. Schools thought children would

No, school counselor, teachers don’t want to sit through your restorative circle with a talking stick so their worst behaved student can get let off again without a consequence

Ya think?
"A new study reveals that young children learn letters and word structures more effectively through handwriting than typing. Researchers taught 5- to 6-year-olds unfamiliar letters and pseudowords using either manual writing or keyboards. Those who practiced by hand performed

If taxpayers are going to pay to build a stadium, then the taxpayers should own the stadium. You can’t socialize the cost, then privatize the profits.
The Kansas City Chiefs are set to receive $1.8 billion in public money from the state of Kansas for a new $3 billion football stadium. That would be by far the biggest public subsidy ever for a U.S. sports arena, per @novy_williams.

@TRHLofficial If the university won't recognize basic biological facts, what else will they lie about?

What most forget is they do pay! And a lot!
Public schools could never survive in a real market. If parents actually had to pay to send their kid to the local public school, would they? For most, the honest answer is: of course not.

Direct Instruction isn't always flashy, but it reliably moves students forward in a way that you can see, measure, and trust.

We stopped just teaching kids things and started burying knowledge inside projects and group work, then slapped the label “inquiry” on it. But you can’t expect a student to discover something they don’t yet have the words or background even to notice.

Banning cell phones without addressing 1-to-1 initiatives and Chromebooks is merely political theatre.
“We’ve banned the cellphones, but it doesn’t matter, because the kids are using the school-issued devices in exactly the same way.” @LByock via @tylerkingkade

“Discovery learning” is more aptly named “not teaching”

PBIS imagines that you can reward your way to responsibility. But, you can’t. Virtue isn’t a sticker chart. You build it through discipline and a clear understanding of consequences, communicated and doled out by an authority who means what they say. Most poor behavior isn't
