1. I worry about the "not everyone needs to go to college" crowd when I see stats like these... Of the 7.2 million jobs lost in the recession, 5.6 million were jobs for workers with a high school diploma or less. (By @jcasap)

2. How well you read or do not read determines where you’ll be in life. (By @aggiebianca01)

3. You manage things and lead people. School is a people business. Thus school leadership is about leading people to do amazing things! (By @Snowmanlearning)

4. Public education in the U.S. will only survive if public education supporters and their neighbors and friends make a point to vote in large numbers in every election (esp. primaries) for candidates who unequivocally commit to defend public education from privatizers' schemes. (By @johnkuhntx)

5. Public investment in K-12 schools has declined dramatically in many states over the last decade. (By @natsupers)

6. Change can be scary and uncomfortable, but we’re in this business to make a difference for kids. There’s no time like the present! (By @ichew_Willbern)

7. If you're complaining, you're not leading. Leaders don't complain. They share a vision. They inspire with optimism. They focus on solutions. (By @JohnGordon11)

8. A person working a full time job of ANY kind should never be in poverty in this country. (By @Snowmanlearning)

9. Leaders deal with things others avoid. (By @Leadershipfreak)

10. Texas State Representative Earnest Bailes speaking candidly— and truthfully—about special interest politics at work in the Texas Legislature. “Local control and rural school support are considered ‘liberal votes’ by the folks pushing vouchers.” Straight talk from a fine public education legislator. (By @pastors4txkids)

Think. Work. Achieve.

1. Students should spend a large portion of their day engaged in listening to, reading, thinking, talking, and writing about texts. (By @ReadtobeReadyTN)

2. A student has to receive a 100% NINE times before fully recovering from a single zero. Zeroes are disastrous to kids. (By @justintarte)

3. Don't defend what isn't working. (By @Leadershipfreak)

4. We never had kids, but paying for public education is my favorite tax. We even go to the bake sales. It's called "good citizenship." I want the next generations educated for the same reason I want clean air and water. As part of a community I want what's best for all of us. (By @DCitizenBader)

5. A small team of passionate learners always beats a large team of stagnant knowers. (By @Leadershipfreak)

6. Really interesting read - "Schools reward students who consistently do what they are told - and life rewards people who shake things up." (By @gcouros)

7. Shhhh, don’t tell: Students will work beyond their grade level when they don’t know the work is beyond their grade level. (By @edutopia)

8. Grateful for dedicated pastors all over Texas who advocate bravely for the public education of ALL our children! (By @pastors4txkids)

9. Pain is the point where average starts to become remarkable. (By @Leadershipfreak)

10. Use the 21/90 Rule. It takes 21 days to build a habit and 90 days to build a lifestyle. (By @melrobbins)

Think. Work. Achieve.
