Financial, learning resources
I disagree
I am hearing much the same from other educators among my friends and family and there are a lot of them.
I did improve on that by high school I think but it was still frustrating to me to have to wait until we could move on to something more interesting.
The NAEP is a separate group within the Dept of Education and supposed to be immune from political influences. But that seems almost impossible given how political the Dept of Education became especially under Biden.Gee. How did I know???
America’s largest teachers’ union puts lefty politics over kids — Congress should step in
The NEA’s annual convention produced resolutions that read like a progressive battle plan — now, Congress should revoke the rare privilege the union has held since 1906.nypost.com
The National Education Association, America’s largest teachers’ union, enjoys a rare privilege: a federal charter, granted by Congress in 1906 — the only labor union to hold that distinction.
But leaked resolutions from its 2025 annual meeting, shared with us by a dismayed union member, reveal an organization that has traded its educational mission for blatant political activism.
Congress must revoke the NEA’s federal charter to signal its disgust at the union’s taxpayer-backed assault on students, parents and common sense.
The NEA’s annual convention in Portland, Ore. last week produced resolutions that read like a progressive battle plan — not a roadmap for better schools.
In a moment of peak parody, one approved resolution committed spending $3,500 of union money on “using the term facism in NEA materials to correctly characterize Donald Trump’s program and actions.”
Yes, the teachers union misspelled “fascism” while applying that label to the duly elected president of the United States.
This is the same as the "NAEP is the National Association for Educational Progress."?
"When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary's duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it," she wrote.

Skye Perryman, the CEO and president of Democracy Forward, which is representing the groups that filed the lawsuit, said Monday's ruling was "devastating" to public education.
Sotomayer is an activist judge."When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary's duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it," she wrote.
"The President must take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not set out to dismantle them," Sotomayor wrote later in her opinion. "That basic rule undergirds our Constitution's separation of powers. Yet today, the majority rewards clear defiance of that core principle with emergency relief. Because I cannot condone such abuse of our equitable authority, I respectfully dissent."
Sotomayor's two liberal colleagues, Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, joined in her dissent.
"The majority apparently deems it more important to free the Government from paying employees it had no right to fire than to avert these very real harms while the litigation continues," Sotomayor wrote. "Equity does not support such an inequitable result."
Sonia Sotomayor accuses Supreme Court of rewarding Trump's "clear defiance"
"The President must take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not set out to dismantle them," Sotomayor wrote.
Naturally, the conservatives gave no reason for their ruling. How could they since it violates the law.
They are the parent's responsibility. We were dirt poor, and my mom always made sure she packed us a lunch.
That should be a matter of celebration. Who wants a war with Russia? Not me.
And Jackson is everything you'd expect from someone appointed because of her race and gender.
Bullshit! Why do you spout BS you know is incorrect? States require you to have specific coursework to be certified and you must often pass a certification exam to illustrate basic knowledge. I was certified in 2 states and for the DoD for middle and high school math, social studies and as a high school administrator. You don't have a clue, as per usual.
Trump is a master of dealing with other leaders and powerful people. Like him or not, he didn't become a billionaire without being a master negotiator. The idiot lefties crow about his business failures and some of them came during a bad recession., But when you start many businesses like he has, there are bound to be some that don't make it.
This is true.
How did we know to were a member of the teacher's tribe of socialists who got paid the same no matter how badly they failed. It takes an act of congress almost to fire a teacher.
