1. It's pure stupidity to think that the best way to get quality teachers in classrooms is to reduce credential standards and cut pay and benefits. (By @LYSNation)

2. A message for politicians: If you really want quality teachers in classrooms then invest in schools and teachers. Doing the opposite is lying. (By @LYSNation)

3. The bedrock democratic institution for training American citizens is the public school system. Support, strengthen and protect it! (By @pastors4txkids)

4. Your job as an administrator is to get the best performance out of your teachers and students. You cannot observe performance from your office. (By @MalachiPancoast)

5. If you want something different, you must do something different. (By @Leadershipfreak)

6. Teaching writing = making a fire. You add firewood, but unless you leave space for air (choice, voice, play, pleasure) the fire won't burn. (By @FletcherRalph)

7. We are in a pitched battle for the public education in Texas against Senate leadership that no longer believes in it. (By @pastors4txkids)

8. When someone asks for your help, you can feel burdened, or, you can feel honored that they are requesting your assistance.  (By @justintarte)

9. When teachers go into each other's classrooms all the teachers can become like the best teachers. We never steal a worse idea. (By @ToddWhitaker)

Think. Work. Achieve.
