        @GregAbbott_TX @TXparentsunion Who is responsible for creating the testing regime and standards that would cause so many children to fail?

        @Didymath Shall we blame the doctor for a unfavorable diagnosis? Besides 90% not being held back sounds very good to me. @GregAbbott_TX

        @mattprewett @GregAbbott_TX The bigger issue is that retention doesn't work. Kids are more likely to drop out when they've been retained.

        @GregAbbott_TX There is too much government regulation in the classroom. Teachers know what their students need but have no voice!

        .@GregAbbott_TX Please visit TX schools in different communities to better understand what children need. Often it's food. Or or a home.

        @GregAbbott_TX that's shocking. Texas is number 2 in the nation for per student spending. Lower is better right? Like golf.

        @GregAbbott_TX We need school choice and vouchers. Parents should be proactive and allowed to pick the school best for their child.
