This performative nonsense is unhelpful and divisive. The sole goal is to pit parents against public schools. If he really wanted to do this, he would have asked the legislature to fund it in the state education budget instead of asking for bibles. Oklahoma, we must elect better people
ICYMI: Supt. Ryan Walters is facing backlash for what critics call an unenforceable political stunt—demanding schools give all students free lunch, but not giving them any money to pay for it... threatening to strip all their funding if they don’t.

I truly wonder if anyone has data on how much apps like photomath and the like have caused the struggles we see at higher level math. It’s so obvious to teachers when students use it but it’s so hard to convince students why it doesn’t help and it sometimes just wrong

I teach in Oklahoma. This hits home in so many ways. You have no idea how demoralizing it is to be consistently attacked and vilified by your own government until it happens to you. It’s nearly destroyed public education in my state.

One of my students said I was a diva today and I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be complement or not. They said it was a good thing but idk.

Introducing myself here. Never posted much at the other place, but hoping for more community here. I’m a public school teacher, a mom, and a blue dot in a sea of Oklahoma red.
