1. Despite rejection of vouchers in 28 referendums, legislators continue to ignore the will of their constituents. (By @waltxyz)

2. Several Texas Senators beholden to those who feel Texas public education is a "wasteful government bureaucracy." No wonder they seek to destroy it. (By @pastors4txkids)

3. If your teachers aren't learning, your school is not getting better. (By @vhsaldana) 

4. I've taught many different approaches to writing, including the traditional workshop. Nothing compares to writing and reading every day. (By @Sam__Weller)

5. The Texas Politician who protects us from the Common Core is like the police officer that protects us from giraffe attacks. It's a made-up issue. (By @LYSNation)

6. Responsibility of government is to guard, protect the public interest. But, this can't be done by those who think "government" and "public" are evil. (By @pastors4txkids)

7. In US, 3 out of 10 college students drop out. Many colleges have embarrassingly low graduation rates. Discourage students from going there! (By @tgrierhisd)

8. Arrogance is forgivable. Ignorance is understandable. But together they are a dangerous combination. (By @JWCrowder)

9. Ms. Merki (Goliad ES) closed the lesson in her math class with a critical writing activity! (By @LYSNation)

10. Excited to hear that The Fundamental 5 (Cain & Laird) is being in used in the University of Michigan M.Ed. program! GO BLUE!!! (By @LYSNation)
