Can We Get A Minute?

"Can We Get A Minute?" cuts through the confusion of education policy to answer the questions teachers are too busy to research themselves.

Teachers will always “say the thing”
If we are worried about our children and their progress then we should be working to find ways to continue investing in them 👏👏 @repdean.bsky.social a former teacher reminds the committee

Such a powerful statement from our Ranking Member @delauro.house.gov
"This committee has incredible power to change lives - to help the middle class. We can help make education affordable - to make it easier to succeed in the workforce through our funding bills." @delauro.house.gov

Voters support increasing funding for most areas in Education - especially funding for creating a positive & welcoming environment for all students, K–12 public schools, career and college preparation, ECE, teacher salaries, & providing high-speed internet. #OpinionatED

Linda McMahon is on the record now saying it is "not the President's plan to defund the programs" in ED, but our educators, students, and families deserve details for the many critical programs that provide support, services, and even food for children nationwide.

"I believe teaching is one of the most noble professions we have in our country. We have, in our country, so many good, dedicated teachers." - the Honorable Linda McMahon

We agree! Now, she MUST ensure that her department supports teachers rather than attacks them!

It’s disappointing to hear Sen. Tim Scott say that there is no one better than Ms. McMahon to lead @usedgov.bsky.social when there are countless incredible educators, administrators and higher education leaders that have the deep expertise to lead our nation’s Education agency.

Today, Linda McMahon answers the Senate’s questions in her hearing to be the next EdSec. She should also answer teachers questions at #QuestionsforLinda #EduSky

Voters agree with @sanders.senate.gov. 68% of voters want to increase funding for public schools over vouchers. We let the voters speak for themselves, our next Education Secretary should too.

3) Did you watch the House Committee on Education & Workforce’s hearing this morning on The State of American Education? It was fascinating. lnkd.in/ewtpMUuK

Today, the Education & Workforce committee in the House of Representatives is holding a hearing called “The State of American Education”

Let’s unpack what your employees… the Members of Congress… have to say

@all4ed.bsky.social national bipartisan poll says we do NOT want to eliminate USED, we want to increase federal $ for ed, and we’d rather strengthen our public schools than funnel $ to vouchers. Let’s stand our ground for public ed & create a positive way forward together. all4ed.org/publication/...

A federal judge blocked the order to freeze federal funding but the work is not done! Call you Senator - (202) 224-3121 and remind them that their boss (you!) want to make sure our nation’s children are fed!

The 2nd episode of @getaminutepod.bsky.social covering school nutrition is live! Unfortunately, we are releasing amidst a very real threat to the fed programs that provide school meals to children nationwide.

Learn more with us, so we can all advocate for these critical programs!

I have no words.

Today’s episode of @getaminutepod.bsky.social talks school nutrition. When @realjennofdc.bsky.social and I recorded, the world was different.

We recorded 5 days ago…

President Trump ordered a freeze of federal funds/awards by 5p TODAY incl. school breakfast and lunch.
