    Several people have asked how I feel about STAAR Test scores dropping. I think the fact that we forced our teachers and students to prepare and take a standardized test during a pandemic is a travesty. We should be praising our teachers and students, not condemning them.

    Public money ought to go to public schools for the public good. Whether it be vouchers or charters, I'm against any effort, by Democrats or Republicans, to send our taxpayer dollars to private institutions. We should be investing every last penny into our public schools.

    Larry Carter: We have to seek out & elect pro-public education candidates to local, state, & national offices. "We also have to constantly remind them that teachers and school employees are part of their base." Remind them too that we're watching when they cast votes 👀
