1. Will we protect universal public education for all children? Or privatize it for the few who can afford it? That is the spiritual crisis of our time. (By @pastors4txkids)

2. Never let anyone fail before you’ve done everything appropriate to help them succeed. (By @Leadershipfreak)

3. We promote what we permit. A culture can never rise above the worst behavior that is allowed. It all starts with our leadership and our example. (By @jistintarte)

4. You don't really know if you can lead others until you have been opposed by others. If you can’t handle opposition, you can’t handle leadership. (By @RickHaasl)

5. Coaches: Be the coach and mentor that you needed when you were a teenager. (By @CoachOzee)

6. Hire the type of person who stops to pick up trash on the floor because they take pride in where they work even though it's not ‘officially’ their job. (By @jistintarte)

7. Success doesn’t depend on getting every single thing right, but instead relies on identifying key priorities and fashioning them into powerful levers. (By DrKign_BBJH)

8. GOP hammering students while giving tax breaks to the ultra-rich should not surprise America. Look at Texas. When GOP came to power they almost immediately began dismantling financial support for college education. (By @CollierForTexas)

9. Folks confident in their actions, honesty and their innocence don’t bother trying to run down other folks so hard because if the truth is on their side, they’ll be fine. (By @chucktodd)

10. I'm amazed at the range of intelligence in our species. On one end you have people exploring galaxies and quantum physics. On the other you have Flat Earthers. Other species don't have this. You won't see one wolf doing long division while another refuses to believe that trees are real. (By @Thunt_Goblins)

1. School culture doesn’t happen by accident. It is built one positive adult action at a time, by all adults, every day. (By @LYSNation)

2. If you are OK with teachers using less effective practice because your scores are “good.” You are sacrificing student opportunity for adult comfort. (By @LYSNation)

3. Success and failure aren’t based on a program. They are based on you. (By @DrKing_BBJH)

4. It is not about who is in my classroom, it's about what I'm doing with instruction. (By @Faith4learning)

5. Real instructional relevance is student developed, not teacher delivered. (By @tra_hall)

6. Quality trumps quantity... But I still am a firm believer in bell-to-bell learning. When secondary classrooms end early, lots of time is lost. (By @justintarte)

7. The coach doesn't sit in his/her office while the game is being played. (By @jackson_carrie)

8. Bad instruction is better than no instruction. Some schools are operating at 20% nothing time. (By @jackson_carrie)

9. The antecedent to most student misbehavior in the classroom is adult inattention and lazy practice. (By @LYSNation)

10. Scott Milder Makes It Official: He is running against Texas Lt. Governor, Dan Patrick, in the GOP primary. (By @texasisd)

Think. Work. Achieve.

1. Stay focused on student need. As student performance improves most adult problems begin to evaporate. (By @LYSNation)

2. Our state leaders have no shame. They demean teachers, defraud constituents, and neglect children without consequence. (By @pastors4txkids)

3. When adults are not adequately serving children, a slow phase in of better practice sacrifices student need for adult convenience. (By @LYSNation)

4. When performance is below expectations, the challenge is to Get Better Now, not tomorrow. (By @LYSNation)

5. I know it sounds crazy, but evidently, when teachers use better practice more often, students do better. Go figure. (By @LYSNation)

6. You can't tell someone they're incompetent or unworthy and expect them to step up! You can't put someone down and expect them to step up. (By @Leadershipfreak)

7. Allowing teachers to NOT work on implementing best practice hurts both students and TEACHERS. (By @LYSNation)

8. We need to elect more people who are about representing all citizens rather than about putting their own party in power. So destructive. (By @woscholar)

9. The Definition of Culture and Climate: A) Culture is the adult practices and procedures on a campus. B) Climate is the effect culture has on students. (By @LYSNation)

10. The parent equation for ranking schools: A) Students are Successful = A Good School. B) My Child is Successful = A GREAT School. (By @LYSNation)
