@nckhui You would think district level positions would be frozen since millions are being cut from schools where teachers teach students!!! $200,000 to a district level administrator, SHAMEFUL!

Veronica Hill hired as Wake County school system’s chief facilities and operations officer. Hill is currently director of facilities for Frederick County Schools in Maryland. Hill will start in Wake on July 1 with a salary of $218,000. #nced #wcpss

@nckhui How much is this going to cost? Another teacher loses their job!

Wake County schools will use an ‘inclusive lens’ to explore America’s 250th anniversary. District guidance tells schools to highlight diverse voices & move beyond traditional narratives as students study the 250th. newsobserver.com/news/local/edu… #ncpol #nced #wcpss #America250

@nckhui WCPSS refused to eliminate the Equity and Diversity dept. That cut would gain millions from the federal government! I guess professional development about how we are different and unique is more important than actually supporting teachers and students!

Wake County schools could cut $18M from special education. Here’s what to know. Wake explains why it's cutting 130 cross categorical resource teachers, the cross categorical kindergarten program & the Middle School Essentials program. newsobserver.com/news/local/edu… #nced #wcpss

@MrPitbull07 I was adopted. People ask me if I know my "real parents" I am quick to say, Yes!! They are the people who wanted me and raised me from 3 months old until they passed. I was so lucky! Real is not always Bio!

I’ve raised my ex-girlfriend’s son, Tyler, since he was 1. We split up years ago, but she lets me co-parent because she knows I adore him. Last week, Tyler got into a bad car accident. I rushed to the ER. The nurse stopped me. 'Immediate family only,' she said. Tyler’s bio-dad (who hasn't seen him in 10 years) was listed on the birth certificate, so they called him. He showed up, smelled like booze, complaining about the drive. Tyler woke up, saw him, and started panicking. His heart rate spiked. 'Where is my dad?' he screamed. 'I want my dad!' The bio-dad tried to calm him down. Tyler pushed him away. 'Not you! Get Dave!' The doctor looked at the bio-dad, then at me standing in the hallway. The doctor opened the door for me. 'He needs his father,' the doctor said to the bio-dad. 'Please step aside.' DNA gets you in the room; love gets you the chair by the bed.

@JasonJournoDC @DailyCaller What the heck is she talking about?? Charlie Kirk talked about God and what is right and wrong. I never heard hate rhetoric!!

🚨NEW: Katie Couric tries — and *FAILS* — to get John Fetterman to condemn Charlie Kirk🚨 FETTERMAN: "I’m an absolute free speech guy and you have the right to say these things. And you definitely also have the right not to get shot by sharing your views." @DailyCaller

@nckhui There is no time to read for pleasure! To get good at something you need to enjoy it and do it as often as possible. Reading instruction has gotten boring and laborious!

Wake County K-2 students are not only not exceeding growth on mClass early literacy assessments, but are showing negative growth. District says it's an area of concern that needs to be addresses b/c it shows kids aren't getting needed foundational reading skills. #wcpss #nced

@nckhui Experienced teachers will not see a raise or step increase. Sad!

In the absence of NC lawmakers adopting a comprehensive state budget, only some Wake County teachers will see an increase in pay from step increases. Bus drivers, custodians, child nutrition staff & instructional assistant among those not getting raises. #nced #ncpol #wcpss

@Notwokenow I have no answer to your question but PLEASE not all teachers are liberal! I am an educator for 30+ years. I am conservative. Many schools I have worked in are not liberal but I am seeing more and more. Makes me sad

Why are so many unhinged liberals employed in education?

@CovfefeConLeche @matt_vanswol 63, conservative but not MAGA. I do support President Trump. I have a “friend” who says she marched against Vietnam and she was out there again this weekend. I don’t understand!! I do agree about reliving their youth!

Matt, Let me apologize for my generation. We are not all like this, in fact the silent majority is MAGA. What you see are a bunch of frustrated hippies who peaked back in the sixties. They keep trying to re-capture their glory days to no avail. They are stuck in a time warp, what a waste of humanity.

@matt_vanswol I am retired and white but there is no way I would be out there protesting!

This is the "No Kings" protest in Marion NC, about a 30 minute drive from Asheville NC. The crowd that showed up is BEYOND PARODY at this point... ...literally every single person at this protest is retired and white Honestly, I've never seen anything like it.

@ThrillaRilla369 Let's add the NC Legislators too! Our state still have no budget so teachers and government workers get no pay increases. They are supposed to be discussing pay raises but they can't pass a budget! Ugh!

Let’s cancel checks for all 535 members of Congress, until they do their job and open up the government again.

@its_The_Dr $2.00! 1975

@nckhui @kyle_ingram11 I guess working on a state budget is not a Priority!

NC Republicans announce plan to redraw congressional map to pick up GOP seat. Legislators will vote on new map next week targeting Rep. Don Davis' district. GOP leaders cite Trump agenda & national redistricting pressure. (Via @kyle_ingram11) newsobserver.com/news/politics-… #ncpol #ncga

@AVGirl4Life Rod Stewart, of course!!

Who?

@EricLDaugh I can't stomach George S!! He is awful!!

🚨 BREAKING: JD Vance destroyed ABC's George Stephanopolous so hard they CUT HIS FEED and went to break 🤣 VANCE: "Here's, George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program and why you're losing CREDIBILITY, because you're talking for now 5 minutes with the Vice President of the United States about this story regarding Tom Homan, a story that I've read about, but I don't even know the video that you're talking about. Meanwhile, low-income women can't get food because the Democrats and Chuck Schumer have shut down the government!" "You are focused on a BOGUS story. You're insinuating criminal wrongdoing against a guy who has done nothing wrong instead of focusing on the fact that our country is struggling because our government's shut down! Let's talk about the real issues, George." "I think the American people would benefit much more from that than from you going down some weird left-wing rabbit hole where the facts clearly show that Tom Homan didn't engage in any criminal wrongdoing." GEORGE: "It's not a weird left-wing rabbit hole! I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50,000 as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024, and you did not answer the question. Thank you for your time this morning." VANCE: "No, George, I said-" GEORGE: "We'll be right back." 😂

@nckhui Haha! Data managers crying in their office?!? I don't know that I would call that successful!

Wake County promoting what it calls a successful transition to using Infinite Campus this school year. Wake says next steps include improving attendance accuracy & more timely notifications to parents when their kids are absent. simbli.eboardsolutions.com/Meetings/Attac… #wcpss

@nckhui After teaching for 30+ years, I know so many teachers who have been hit, knocked down, spit on, etc. They are always told not to report it. Sad! Assault against teachers should be reported and the students should be punished!

NC lawmakers may require schools to report all teacher assaults to improve safety. HB775 also requires all threats against teachers to be reported to police. Julie von Haefen among 3 no votes. She's worried about criminalizing students. newsobserver.com/news/local/edu… #nced #ncpol #ncga

@PamFarrel As a teacher I know there are so many more students on the spectrum and don’t even get me started on allergies. I don’t know if it is Tylenol but we are doing something to our babies and we need to find a solution! At least this is a start.

I would like to see studies and research on relationship between Tylenol and autism

@ThomasMHern Go Kmele!

ASHLEY ALLISON: "We're missing one important key of this fact pattern is that Barack Obama is Black" KMELE FOSTER: "Is he Black?" Ashley Allison is dumbfounded when one of CNN's panelists refuses to use his skin-color to divide people and denigrate police officers.

@ScottPresler This is one of MANY teachers who is crying of the death of Charlie Kirk! Please do not stereotype us!

The sheer amount of teachers celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination should make every parent in America consider homeschooling their children.
