Reading scores, 3rd graders to 8th graders, 2015 to 2025. This is a national tragedy.
This ad is so well done. Girls are faced with an impossible decision when they realize they have to play a boy in their sport. Do they forfeit? Should they really have to? If that's something they even have to consider, the adults have already failed them. Do better, adults.
NEW: Have you heard of i-Ready? It's in a THIRD of school districts. The company behind it makes $800m/yr revenue. Kids are often required to use it for 90 min/week, or more, and they hate it. It doesn't count toward grades. Teachers can't see a student's answers. Schools are paying millions for it hoping to improve their state test scores, but critics say there's no proof it works. My latest @NBCNews story digs into the controversy around one of the most commonly-used software products in education today
🚨 New York will be the 30th state to opt into the Education Freedom Tax Credit! I applaud @GovKathyHochul for transcending politics and recognizing good policy that puts students FIRST. Tens of thousands of New York families will now benefit from new educational opportunities, from private school tuition to tutoring and more!
Elon Musk: "If you punish people too much for failure, then they will respond accordingly, and the innovation you will get will be very incrementalist Nobody's gonna try anything bold for fear of getting fired or being punished in some way. So risk-reward must be balanced and favor taking bold moves, otherwise it will not happen"
🚨 GOVERNOR SHAPIRO: PA is waiting on YOU. 🚨 The federal EITC program offers PA up to $1 BILLION in scholarship funding at zero cost to the state. Every child is different and families deserve the ability to choose the educational environment that meets their unique needs.
Apprenticeships create career opportunities & Apprenticeship Week is a great time to highlight their impact. That's why I intro SB 439 to fix unfair union/nonunion rules that hurt small businesses & limit opportunities. It’s time to modernize these rules & grow our workforce.
.@POTUS: "Beginning at the start of next year, every American will be able to go to TrumpIRA.Gov and open a new, low-cost IRA account. You'll then be able to access the same type of retirement accounts that federal employees enjoy... which are incredible."
HUGE WIN!!! My amendment to STOP foreign adversaries from purchasing American farmland has PASSED! It makes zero sense why we would allow our enemies to own AMERICAN land. It should never have been allowed in the first place.

Dismantle teachers unions.
