@MrPitbull07 Do you have any idea how difficult it is to spend time with one student to replicate what they miss for just one lesson? I teach ms math, and I do not give worksheets, but missing one day when we start a new concept puts the student behind. Take vacation when kids are off.

“This is why public school is a JOKE. And honestly… I’m concerned for the next generation of kids. A couple weeks ago, we pulled our kids out of school to take them on vacation. They’re in 3rd grade, 2nd grade, and kindergarten. We let the teachers know ahead of time. Asked for assignments so they wouldn’t fall behind. Their response? “Don’t worry about it… we’ll catch them up when they get back.” No big deal, right? Except the day we leave… the school district starts hounding us. Threatening to report us to the county if the kids miss any more days. Our kids rarely miss school. Are we seriously not allowed to take them anywhere?? Fast forward: we get back, and my son comes home with a mountain of worksheets. No explanation. No instruction. Just, “Here. Figure it out.” So he spends hours working through it over the next week. And I’m looking at this stuff thinking… what the hell is this?? Keep in mind, I’m college-educated and run multiple successful businesses. And I can’t even make sense of it. Questions like: “Sam has 155 clams. Richard gives him 137 peaches. If the cows moo while facing north, how many snow cones does he have?” What are they even learning in there? Then — a week later — his teacher messages us: “He got almost all the answers wrong. He’s now failing English.” So we reach out. Ask if he can redo the assignments. Not just for a better grade… but so he can actually learn the material. Her response? “No. He can’t redo it.” We try to work with her. Offer to compromise. Her answer? “Maybe you shouldn’t go on vacation.” I’m done, dude. Our kids are in ELEMENTARY school. And this is already the circus we’re dealing with. I don’t want to homeschool. I never thought I’d even consider it. But the way this system is run? It’s starting to look like the better option. So here’s my honest question: What are we supposed to do? Because if this is the best public education can offer… No wonder kids are falling behind.” ~Mike Wingard

@ChrisPGodsey @RobinsonCarol Funny, I read Nissan Sentra, White Jeep Cherokee, and BMW…

@RobinsonCarol I guess you only put the manufacturer of the car in the headline when it involves a Tesla?

UPDATE: 2 people are in custody after a fatal wreck on I-459 in Hoover today. Witnesses said 3 vehicles were traveling at a high rate of speed when one of the left the road and crashed. al.com/news/2024/02/1…

“Student difficulty with mathematics has been a pervasive and systemic problem since the advent of public education- not because students can’t learn mathematics, but because, by and large, students can’t learn by being told how to do it.” @pgliljedahl 👏🏼

@NCAABaseball I find it quite interesting that a singer of the National Anthem is cancelled because of a downward horns sign towards Texas, but Tennessee players flipping off opponents on the field and using bile language to opposing players is overlooked.

@CFullman30 Embarrassing to the SEC, NCAA, and baseball!

There is playing with emotion and then there is this. Classless

@NCAABaseball you are allowing Tennessee to demonstrate poor sportsmanship in all aspects of the game.

#NCAABaseball it is embarrassing that it is announced at every game that profanities, poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated from fans, yet Tennessee demonstrates it openly on the field. Josh Beck should be suspended.

@AuburnBaseball @Ralue24 Great play @carsonskip10 and Nate Larue!

You serious, @Ralue24?!

#jefcoedleadmentors Q1. It is extremely important to build relationships with new teachers just as we do with our students. After all, they are our students too and need a safe place to learn.

@AGreeneIV @AuburnU @AGreeneIV I love that you are so involved in the university! I have seen you at baseball, basketball, gymnastics, and in and amongst students. You are a true leader!

📚🤪Good morning! Enjoyed being a part of SGAs “Up All Night” serving donuts and orange juice to @AuburnU students as they burn the midnight oil preparing for exams! All the best with finals, you’ll do great! #WarEagle

@JoeBiden While I somewhat agree (there is a time when it should be too late), this was not what you thought or stated in 2006.

I believe that a woman’s right to choose is fundamental. Roe has been the law of the land for almost fifty years, and basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned. We will be ready when any ruling is issued.

@SonnyDichiara Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Get well soon my brother❤️
