Ladies & gentlemen: A key to this app is to realize it is a tool. Like all tools, it can be used for good or for bad; used to build up or used to tear down. Only you can choose how you use the tool. And only you should choose w/ whom you communicate or listen. Choose wisely.

We don’t need a “religious” America. We need a God-fearing America!🙏🏻🇺🇸 Agree or disagree?

@teachthemx3 In the words of renown Leadership speaker, John Maxwell, "everything rises and falls on leadership". My five decades of business experience confirm that quote - leadership must own the results.

Addressing some FAQs: 1. I can’t go into detail about why she didn’t attend class this semester other than to say it was not health- or abuse-related. It was simply a choice. 2. I did tell admin I am not giving her a 70. Other teachers will comply with admin’s request because they do not want to face the consequences of refusing. No, they cannot fire you. But they can give you three preps (3 different subjects to teach next year). They can schedule you to participate in meetings during your planning period. There are multiple ways to “punish” teachers who do not comply. 3. @AlphaSchoolATX is not simply another private school. It is a completely different approach to the traditional school system. I am well aware that many private schools have similar issues with grade inflation. I tutor private school students. See pinned post. 4. Multiple people have said they had a similar recurring dream. Not really a question. But I find that interesting.

I have a senior on my roster who hasn’t attended my class a single day this semester. She showed up today for the first time. We have 7 days left before grades are finalized for seniors. My administrator just asked me to see what I can do to help her graduate. In case anyone here is a new follower, this is why I’m leaving public education.

In 30 years, I've had to draw this weapon many times and had a few close calls. I thank God I've never had to use it. That doesn't make me better than officers who had to make that tough call; God just saw fit in His wisdom for me to avoid it thus far. In the remaining time I have left, I pray it continues that way until I can holster it up for good. This job is a rollercoaster. One minute you're trying to help someone a broken system has failed, or holding a meeting to assure the community you're there for them. Then it can switch in a second to defend your life and the lives of others. It’s wild. But I’ll never regret the choice I made. I know many will disagree, but it’s the greatest job in the world. God bless every man and woman brave enough to do it.

Is it just me? Or is the average American much more tuned into our military than they were under Obama/Biden? I’m loving it! 🇺🇸

@BuzzPatterson Yes. Now ask why. My input questions - when did so many Americans come to believe nothing bad should happen to them? When did we become this risk adverse? When did we become blind potntial consequence?

@Sassafrass_84 Outstanding. May I add to this very excellent (imo) post? A gun, a knife, an ax, or a rope are all inanimate objects. Inanimate objects cannot act on their own. They require an outside force, usually human. And the human decides what the inanimate object does, good or bad.

Same guns. Different society. The problem isn't the tool. 💯

Alas, short term thinking and/or the need for visible quick results create this type of result0. The question shoukd not be 'how do we get more teachers'? The question should be 'how do we get more good teachers'? Beware of unintended consequences.
Fixing Education@FixingEducation

When a state addresses its teacher shortage by lowering the standards to become a teacher, instead of making teaching a more sustainable and respected career, it signals a HUGE problem.

Today's Proverb, Proverbs 19: 3. A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the Lord.

@OperHealAmerica Amen and amen. I've used that specific scripture a number of times when subing for a pastor (laity servant leader here). This leads us to a Biblical literacy discussion. The men of America are Biblically illiterate. You can't do what it says if you don't know what it says.

@bickwhitener Yes, Jesus himself said, "If ye love me OBEY my commandments." John 14:15 Otherwise, we don't really love Him.

HARD TRUTH: Many Christians expect God to "warranty" their finances, marriages, families, and futures while they take a “hammer” to them daily! Obedience to God's Word is not negotiable.

@DavidFurones_ Get healthy, learn the offense, get 15 to 20 catches in the 2nd half of the season. Knee surgeries are no joking matter & 'slow & steady wins the race'.
