Getting lit on @Commit2Dallas 🥂
Y’all - it’s so hard for me to sit here and listen to the propaganda they feed us while they serve food and drinks funded by Bill Gates and TEA – both are major funders of Commit.
They host these events “for teachers” while they are literally coming FOR them.
They seek to undermine and co-opt the teaching profession and chase off our seasoned teachers with institutional memory.
Under TEI merit pay, Mike Miles caused 10,100 teachers to flee @dallasschools in 2015.
They want to replace the professional teachers with change agents from @teachforamerica and those who drink the merit pay kool-aid.
They also use technology and high-stakes testing as a weapon.
Yes, it is indeed a happy hour with an agenda. @DMagazine @psimek
What’s funny is The Man, @williamstodd78, rarely shows up to these events. He sends his army of Commit-ed reformsters on his payroll.
He writes and lobbies for the bills that steer the funding to his pet reforms, like TIA/TEI, charter schools, technology, data harvesting, Amplify (Bluebonnet HB 1605),testing, etc.
