@pwharris I start by thinking about it as “7/8 x 4/5” or “7/8 of 4/5”. Then, I know 4/5 is equivalent to 8/10, making each of the 8 parts = to 1/10. 7/8 means I want 7 of the 8 parts so that makes 7/10.

@GovAbbottPress Really? 50 whole schools across the second largest state in our country, are you kidding me?

Democrats want to trick parents into thinking that no private schools will admit kids with special needs. That is just NOT true! In fact, our state has 50+ schools that specialize in students with special needs. There are also schools that offer key support services.

@GovAbbottPress Are you implying that the $10,000 families will receive is enough to cover ALL those things you mentioned? It’s not…$10,000 is a drop in the massive bucket of costs for private school in most instances. Therefore low income families are still not able to afford anything else.

Enough is enough, Rep. Lopez. Education Savings Accounts in Texas will cover homeschools, virtual learning, co-ops, learning pods, AND private schools. They can also cover the costs of tuition, uniforms, transportation, books, lunch, and so much more.

@splantyboy @unrealbobtaylor @wfaa I don’t have a problem with options when the options are equitable. I also don’t have a problem with options when one doesn’t directly hurt the other.

Charter schools could be expanded under this program, offering lower income students a chance at a better education. With additional funding transportation and lunch options could be expanded. Many private schools, while still not cost free, would be more affordable with a voucher. Or they can stay where they are right? Why do you have a problem with providing options?

Hundreds of parents, teachers and students from across Texas gathered in Downtown Austin on Saturday to rally against a plan to give taxpayer money to some Texas families for private schooling. wfaa.com/article/news/p…

@splantyboy @unrealbobtaylor @wfaa In addition, these children depend on free/reduced lunches. Private schools don’t offer that, either.

@splantyboy @unrealbobtaylor @wfaa Newsflash…the $10,000 voucher won’t be enough to pay for most private schools. Even if it was, said private schools don’t offer transportation. Most of these ‘poor children’ you are talking about depend on bus transportation to and from school.

@elonmusk It’s called ‘checks and balances’. He’s not a king, you know.

If ANY judge ANYWHERE can stop EVERY Presidential action EVERYWHERE, we do NOT live in a democracy.

@pwharris 2/3 of 12 pieces of anything is 8, so 2/3 of 12/5 is 8/5.

@lynnsdavenport @TPPF @RealBenCarson Texas Bluebonnet has 3rd graders reading Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream…are you kidding me???

Nice man but clueless about public education. I served on an education roundtable with him and his only solution is government regulated School Choice™️. He has no idea Texas Bluebonnet is not a classical education and the content is not age-appropriate, nor is it high quality. Dr. Carson, who is pushing you to promote this? familiesengaged.org/post/texas-blu…

.@RealBenCarson: The Bluebonnet Learning curriculum will be a valuable resource for Texas teachers, and students will benefit from learning on grade-level. #txed

@pwharris Both numbers are 5 fractional pieces away from being a whole. Elevenths are smaller than ninths which means the missing part of 6/11 is smaller. This means 6/11 is closer to being one whole and sixth 11th is larger than four ninths.

@pwharris 3/7 is less than 5/9 because half of 7 is 3.5 so 3/7 is a little less than 1/2. Half of 9 is 4.5, so 5/9 is a little bigger than 1/2.

@BeCre8ive50 I literally said this exact same thing!

As an elementary teacher I would like to propose that Halloween always be on the last Saturday of October. Who’s with me? Where are my elementary teachers that are not so secretly dreading the next two days?

@belmarduk @HelpATeacher You are an idiot.

@HelpATeacher Because, those that can not do, Teach.

For real.

@uncagedauthor @OBrienSci That’s great unless you live in a state where the governor is anti-public education and is LITERALLY holding money ear-marked for s hooks hostage until his voucher agenda passes 😔

@OBrienSci Govt schooling is horrible. How about just getting the fed influences out and let locals take care of their schools.

@mikesully97 @TheMathGuru @mathematize4all @MathEdLeaders I don’t know why you are personally attacking me. I acknowledged that inquiry and explicit instruction both have research backing and their place in a classroom. I think the tiniest people are the ones who have to shout the loudest. And Curr. Coord. means I create/write curric.

@MrsCarroll2209 @TheMathGuru @mathematize4all @MathEdLeaders Math Coordinator? So like an administrator? Those are usually the ones who most easily fall for edufads. Whatever you’re reading isn’t “research.” More likely, it’s opinion. Here’s a video we had to watch in our Science of Reading course. Listen to what Dr. Archer says 1/

Cannot boost this slide more I FEEL SO SEEN @mathematize4all 🫣 #ncsm

@peter_lydon @Mathgarden @TheMathGuru @mathematize4all @MathEdLeaders Exactly where I was trying to go.

@mikesully97 @TheMathGuru @mathematize4all @MathEdLeaders I am not saying explicit instruction is bad. I’m saying there’s a place for both and research to support both. Actually, I’m an elementary math coordinator and an avid reader of professional books and research.

@MrsCarroll2209 @TheMathGuru @mathematize4all @MathEdLeaders Which specific claim? I’m guessing you’re a little behind in the science here. Are you a classroom teacher?

@Mathgarden @peter_lydon @TheMathGuru @mathematize4all @MathEdLeaders I disagree. If I’m staring at a passage written in Arabic I’m going to struggle significantly with that task because I can’t read Arabic! The struggle will be unproductive because it is inaccessible to me.

@peter_lydon @TheMathGuru @mathematize4all @MathEdLeaders So then "productive" is redundant--as all struggle is "productive".
