        How about preschool for all throughout Texas as a part of public school ? That would make a huge difference.

        @dpmorg that wouldn’t be parental involvement. This initiative is a focus on children reading outside the classroom with parents.

        I guess I should have typed THAT for you Tammy. I'm not saying it's not a great initiative, but I am stating to @GregAbbott_TX a bigger impact would be to support earlier public ed for all & provide funding for Pre-k for all. You're into politics. I bet you see where I'm going.

        Does that mean you are getting rid of the STARR test? Until we do, no one but legislators have any input. And they could care less about our kids.

        What about removing the punitive measures of the STAAR test, so our children in Texas can be taught a grade level education and not the STAAR test. Schools are directly teaching the TEKS.

        Gov. Abbott, children w/special needs are treated like 2nd class citizens in Texas schools. Their needs aren’t being met! They’re confined & rarely integrated into main stream classrooms b/c Principals want to protect their school rankings. They deserve better!!

        Let me know when you start focusing on meeting the needs of the special needs children. There is more to educating than simple facts!

        Have you compared our state’s standards (TEKS) to common core? With a very few exceptions, it’s exactly the same.

        Which is why we homeschool. ☺️ I am happy to see promotion of more family involvement in the public system. I would love to see a more classical approach of teaching being brought back & teachers given more freedom in how they teach.

        Its not the money you pump into it. Its the design of their education that matters. Kids are not getting the basics. My 11 year old grandson last year could not READ his birthday card! in cursive!
