Standardized tests have no place in elementary education. Because testing becomes the focus of education instead of learning. We take away the fun and excitement of learning, playing, exploring, & creating. We prepare test takers instead of problem solvers and innovators.

@teachergoals 10 and it needs to be a variety of grades. Without experience they cannot understand the challenges that happen in a classroom. I believe this goes up to the district as well.

The new mural at @EPICConway66. I am so proud of the work the 5th and 6th grade students did to make this happen. This was an EPIC moment today.

Participating in #betterworldday at #epicconway. It’s opening circle time! How can you make your community better?

@banksshot @BubblesVampire @pajamamarketer1 Don’t worry @banksshot they won’t have to ask, they will inherit this trait. No explanation will be needed. At least that is how it is in this Banks house.

@BubblesVampire My boys will have this memory some day. They will ask @pajamamarketer1 “Why does dad yell at the TV during sporting events?” And she will calmly tell them “Boys, your dad has many wonderful traits. This is not one of them.”

@jbordman Is there a way we can watch the games on a live stream?

Team test #2 All clear! Scrimmage tomorrow! 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

I am grateful to have a man of faith back in the Oval Office. My prayer is for our country to find peace, comfort, and healing. May we all work on forgiveness and moving forward. Congratulations @JoeBiden. Lead us with confidence. #POTUS46

@StoneBrewing Levitation was the first one I tried, I think. @StoneBrewing

Since 1996, the Stone Gargoyle has been the hero of our story. A protector, ever-vigilant, warding off the evil spirits of bad beer. What was the first Stone beer you ever tried?

Thank you Mr. President for being the perfect example of a sore loser. I will use this example when explaining to my kids how not to act. #growup #soreloser #pityparty

I guess telling your supporters to “not vote by mail” was a bad idea. I voted by mail, my ballot has yet to be counted. Count all the votes! All Americans deserve a voice, including me.

@TheEllenShow My first action- go hug my family, and maybe anyone else I see along the way.... strangers: get ready!

When the quarantine ends, what are you going to do first? Whether it’s hitting the beach, going out for tacos, or getting that much-needed, PROFESSIONAL haircut, tell us what you’re doing first! #WHATIMDOINGFIRST

@GavinNewsom Thank you for your leadership. You are keeping us safe. People before the economy. #californiastrong
