All really cool! Please be sure to visit crowded elementary classrooms and talk with teachers who are trying to implement the Alaska Reads Act. Meet with teacher assistants more than administrators…they know what’s really going on. And check out 9th grade math and science classes for sure! #akleg

My sister is a small business owner and uses ACA. With the increase in premiums that she cannot afford, her only option is to go without insurance, pay out of pocket when she can, and go to the emergency room and cross her fingers the hospital gives her a break. She has no other affordable choice.

“Teachers, desperate to reach distracted minds, now fight fire with fire: math games for short attention spans, online quizzes for restless learners. The screens multiply, and deep thinking withers.” 2/3 #akleg

In the past 15 years, I’ve personally known a lot of #AKfams who left Alaska because of this issue. Most AK teachers come from out of state, away from family and support systems. And as they decide if they’ll stay and start a family of their own, they also start thinking about retirement. #akleg

(2/2) There’s no guarantee that there will be enough positions for everyone who is displaced, and remaining elementary Art, PE, Health and Music teachers were told they may be reassigned schools to try and cover for the losses. All in all, kids will ultimately pay the price for this mess. #akleg

(3/3) Or we can have a more comprehensive/accurate way of evaluating our public schools, and ensure they have the funding/support needed to help ALL students achieve…rather than starving neighborhood schools of resources and allowing those with the means to “self segregate” out of them. #akleg

(2/3) So the question is: should this be the only metric we use to judge the quality of our public schools? Does this data reflect the whole experience of a child from K-12? If so, you’ll see more schools “teach to the test” and other activities will be pushed to the side or eliminated. #akleg
