Improving education requires high-level instruction and better curriculum. Our schools must focus on fundamentals like reading, writing, math, and science. We must ensure every child is prepared for college or a good-paying career. #TXSOTS25

Property taxes are the most important issue right now. People are losing their homes while you sleep well every night.

Is that why you turned Texas Ed over to the federal #ESSA IN 2015. LIAR

Don't forget to bring Trades back into our schools. Wood Shop, Auto Shop and Welding. Not everyone needs to go to college. People can have incredible lives without starting out life with a mountain of debt.

You’ve been Gov. for 10 yrs, appointed Commissioner of Ed 9 yrs ago, & R’s have controlled #TxLege & #TxEd for 30 yr, including curriculum. You failed Tx kids & tchrs & now want to siphon $1B away from underfunded public schools to create unaccountable voucher scam. #NoVouchers

Improving education requires adequate funding. Our schools must have adequate funding. We must ensure every child is prepared for college or a good-paying career by adequately funding their public schools.

This concerning trend must be stopped. We must put our children first. Reform has arrived. The Classical Learning Test assesses reading, writing, and math skills using classical texts from the Western canon. I support H.R. 5968 to ensure federally-run schools accept the CLT.

🚨This post is for every child mislabeled as "disabled" by a government-run, union-controlled education system, where flawed Educator Preparation Programs prioritize progressive, theory-based instruction over proven reading programs and teaching methods that prevent reading failure. It’s also for every parent of an IDEA-eligible child denied their federally protected right to a Free Appropriate Public/Public-funded Education, including grade-level proficiency in reading and math. Don’t be misled—most private schools embrace diverse learners, offering high expectations, rigorous academics, and exceptional instruction in every classroom. Education freedom and publicly funded school choice are the keys to Making Education Great Again and Making America Literate Again! 🇺🇸 🏫📚🎓 #2e #dyslexia #ADHD

Schools are for education, NOT indoctrination. We must reform curriculum, get kids back to the basics of learning, and empower parents to choose the best school for their child through education freedom.

Improving reading, writing and math skills is what education is suppose to be about. Patrice Barnes & I launched a comprehensive plan to strengthen critical skills that will lead students to #Jobsofthefuture. It’s about better schools & standards that lead to better jobs.

We can have a great economy. We can fix insurance. We can fix traffic. But if our kids aren't achieving mastery in math, reading, writing, & reasoning, then what is it for? We are the greatest country ever known & we must ensure our kids are prepared to lead us into the future.

This week, one yr ago, I was honored to address the nation from the 2024 RNC. EVERY PARENT deserves a choice. And EVERY CHILD deserves a chance. In Florida, we will ensure our kids aren't just at grade-level, but that they're PROFICIENT in reading, writing, math, and reasoning.

Out of 53 public schools in Illinois, not one student is proficient in math at grade level. The Department of Education has failed our children and must be abolished.

Schools must stop turning uniforms and lunch into tools of punishment. No child should be humiliated because a parent is struggling. The Ministry of Education must rein in these excesses and restore dignity to our learners and schools.

"A Government that is more focused on the brainwashing of our children than ensuring that they have the skills needed to be productive members of society." Well said Senator Sean Bell Schools should have an unwavering focus on reading, writing and arithmetic. Wokeism should be drained from the curriculum. And skills and apprenticeships should be heavily promoted to ensure we have the skills we need.

To fully fund our schools we must base funding on every child enrolled in our public schools, no ifs, ands, or buts. Attendance-based funding short changes our kids, teachers, and staff. Texas House Democrats #txlege #txed

A contract that protects queer & trans students and ensures affirming, inclusive curriculum is what our students deserve. CPS rejected our proposals, but our fight continues. CPS must commit to protecting our kids and our schools in writing.

Parent to a public schools kid here: Every word JD Vance says here is a LIE. My daughter's schools have her reading a year over her grade level, even better at math. They're teaching her writing. Next up, how to make a team and start a small business.

We talk about becoming a Singapore or a first-world nation, yet we are not educating our population. If we are serious about developing our country, we must invest in the education of our people. This was the logic behind curriculum reform and the introduction of CBC. We must make hard but necessary sacrifices, by managing the size of government, curbing wastage, and directing resources to our priorities like education.

🚨OUTRAGED: Activist Teachers Let Kids Skip Class to Protest ICE – Schools Are NOT Protest Zones!🚨 As a former high school teacher and a parent, I'm absolutely **outraged** by these activist teachers who are allowing—or worse, encouraging—high school students to skip class and protest ICE enforcement. Schools are for learning math, history, science, and real skills—not turning into political activism hubs that disrupt education and push divisive agendas. Our kids deserve better than being used as pawns in anti-enforcement protests while basic instruction gets sidelined. This kind of indoctrination has no place in our classrooms. Time to restore discipline, focus on education, and stop the radical activism that's hijacking public schools. Linda McMahon Donald J. Trump — as Secretary of Education and President, please step in and make it crystal clear: No more allowing schools to host or permit these disruptive protests during school hours. Protect our children's education from political exploitation. Return schools to teaching—not activism. #MAGA #EducationFirst #NoMoreIndoctrination
