@FixingEducation There are people embedded in their social media circles that are inciting this behavior I guarantee it. None of this is organic.

“Teen takeovers” have now been reported in cities like Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, & Orlando. Shoplifting, assaults, robberies, & property damage. These same teens are sitting in middle and high school classrooms behaving awfully, & receive little to no consequences.

@ColeMaritz I bet it’s more than 10%

LA having 10%(!!!!) of the entire country’s homeless population is so insane it sounds fake. And people wonder why Spencer Pratt is surging in the polls.

@elonmusk @yunta_tsai Incredible 👊🏼🇺🇸 why did the NASA footage look like it was filmed through a gym sock?

@yunta_tsai They said it couldn’t be done. Dozens of Starlink satellites simultaneously track Starship at all times and close the link through a gap in the plasma that is located in the leeward region towards the aft end of the rocket.

Beaming down crisp video footage—free of electromagnetic interference and better than the NFL—from an object moving faster than a bullet in space is jaw-dropping.

@RAD_is_awesome Vision boards should work

With teacher cuts and class sizes on the rise for next year, the board has decided to hire a Chief Visionary Officer to help our teachers create a vision of success for the class-size increase.

@lamps_apple Come and stay brother 👊🏼 we need good people here

“I'm just going to put it out there. Once you have been travelling around America for a substantial amount of time, when you come home, it is a very strange and slightly, truthfully, depressing feeling, okay? Traveling around America really opened up my eyes, really allowed me to see how I could be living, and just how many opportunities there are, and how many different amazing places there are, all in one country. Like, since I've been back home in the UK, I haven't felt like myself, which sounds so crazy. I now live for that adventure, that crazy lifestyle, that meeting new people, seeing new people every day, and I just long for it. And in America, it is so amazing. Seriously, Americans, what have you done to me? I need to come back in October, at the end of October, back to America. I can't wait. It's really kerfuffled me coming home from America. It has kerfuffled me.”

@SciInTheMaking Student behavior is enabled by the school system and administrators not upholding any discipline.

What I was trying to say is that you can’t solve the problem by throwing more money at it. Teachers are leaving because of student behavior (check the replies in the tweet below). Yes, teachers deserve decent salaries but that alone won’t fix the issue.

@NancyMace Absolutely 💯 and it’s still happening in elementary schools everywhere

I am convinced the tr*ns movement is about grooming children.

@ErinIshimoticha @SpaceX USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Maybe @SpaceX can ask its engineers not to chant nationalist dogwhistles on the livestream please? 😒

@FixingEducation Too bad they don’t suspend these students anymore, we desperately need to uphold discipline. It’s becoming impossible to teach any more.

Do you know who dislikes the lack of accountability for misbehaved students in schools even more than teachers? The good kids who actually want to learn. They’re often the ones being silently bullied, distracted, intimidated, or forced to sit in chaos every day while administrators let it continue. When a severely misbehaved student is suspended, it’s often a relief for the students trying to do the right thing, too.

@jenteach13 Most definitely 💯

You want to fix education? Stop treating teachers like they're the problem. They're the ones who showed up every day, documented everything, and told you the truth all year. Start there.

@pmarca You forgot to add the Somalis

Improved it!

@Savsays You mean intentionally effective and evil

The fact that comically stupid people were able to defraud the U.S. out of BILLIONS just goes to show how horrifically ineffective our government is.

@TaraBull There are mosques all over Texas, I don’t think they put them there.

This is what happens when Californians move to Texas

@JoeTalkShow Because they are all Thune

Republicans only need 27 votes to replace Thune as majority leader. Why aren't they doing it?

@_wej01 This right here speaks volumes to the problems faced in education today 🤬

MY STUDENT TEACHER QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL DAY. A parent sent 14 emails overnight because their son got a zero after turning in a completely blank test. Admin asked her if she had tried “building a relationship” before giving consequences. She left her classroom lanyard on the desk and never came back. The part that really got me was watching admin apologize to the parent before even asking to see the test. Nobody in that meeting cared that the page was completely blank. The entire conversation was about “repairing trust.”

@supertolerant What we’re all not talking about enough is that this intentional dumbing down of our own people. We shouldn’t sit back and mock them, we need to direct this anger towards the people in power who deserve it.

I was young in the 80s/90s in the UK. I don’t remember my parents ever going out to eat, except when we were on holiday (in the UK). I don’t think they ever took me to a fast food restaurant, or ordered takeaway food. People today have no clue how working people lived. /1

@elonmusk @SpaceX That was special 👊🏼🇺🇸🙏

Congratulations @SpaceX team on an epic first Starship V3 launch & landing! You scored a goal for humanity.

@CSI_Starbase Seriously that was 3X faster than the original rocket

🤯My goodness! I've always wanted to see Superheavy jump off the pad like that! Although I don't think this was as fast as they originally planned. But, now that the pad isn't holding the vehicle back anymore we can see the true monster thats been hiding this entire time.

@CFCDaily It all smells fishy

Time to see if it really was Real Madrid or Enzo Maresca 👀

@nmlinguaphile It’s the same entitlement shown when they are constantly on their phones while driving.

The “eating out” versus “cook at home” debate is a symptom of a much deeper societal problem of entitlement.
