We have a student who can't not get in a fight in the hall, so she has a behavior aide assigned to her all day. This person gets paid to just follow the kid around all day. No academic help, no behavior coaching. Stuff like this is another reason teachers can't get paid more.

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption. That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time. Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.” The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs. That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone. But the education system still runs on its logic. A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait. Neither is being served. Both are being processed. Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.” AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student. One at a time. Every time. It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle. It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done. A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture. The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does. No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill. Because the math doesn’t work. AI doesn’t have that constraint. Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.” The brain isn’t broken. The format is. Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes. That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem. Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.” Four years. Six figures of debt. And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you. The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance. Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.” The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you. Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace. The question isn’t whether the old model survives. It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

I get the sentiment that if you were supported by special ed services as a student, then you want to be a special ed teacher yourself. But maybe if you struggled through school, you aren't going to be great as a teacher. I shouldn't have to reteach when you leave the room!

If you aren’t asking your children these questions often, you are purposely burying you head in the sand.

A high-school student proves Oregano essential oil kills more Bacteria than Amoxicillin‼️

Why is EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT in the Texas legislature and the entire leftist statewide apparatus in full freakout mode against school choice and ESAs? Why the unhinged, hysterical shrieking?  Why are they fighting this 10x harder than they ever fought against gun rights bills or pro-life legislation or border security? Why have they infiltrated the GOP with a targeted misinformation campaign to sow confusion about ESAs?  Because school choice is a hammer blow to their life support system in a state where they can't win elections - school choice strikes at the SOURCE of their power. For too long the Texas public education bureaucracy has acted as an unaccountable state within a state: a deep state.  In a republic, the bureaucracy is supposed to answer to the people's elected representatives. But bloated with taxpayer funds because they have a monopoly on education, the bureaucracy provides a vast network of jobs, patronage and contracts that sustains the left and provides a base from which it can frustrate and thwart the will of the people and their elected representatives.  School choice changes all of that by totally inverting the power relationship between parents and education bureaucrats. Empowering parents with options forces the education bureaucracy to focus on the quality of its product: education.  Instead of playing politics and devouring funds intended for classrooms and frontline teachers, the bureaucracy will have SERVE parents and children, instead of the other way around.

Public schools don't accept every child. They must take the ones assigned to their district because their parents are compelled by law to give the school money. It's not a charity.

"Put school choice on the ballot" is the final, unconstitutional attempt by the public education monopoly to maintain its control of students. This is Texas, not California. Voters have spoken, and opponents are just trying to delay the inevitable. It won't work.

This bill isn’t just about schools—it’s about liberty. It’s about Parental rights. It’s about saying “no” to the radical indoctrination, and “yes” to reading, math, civics, and the Constitution. Let parents choose. @BradBuckleyDVM @CreightonForTX @DanPatrick @EllenTroxclair @HicklandHillary @brianeharrison @Toth_4_Texas @NateSchatzline @GregAbbott_TX @Moms4Liberty

Lies, lies, and more lies. Private schools ARE held to accountability standards. Education Savings Accounts can be used for tuition, transportation costs, books, and so much more! And public schools will be fully funded. It’s time we also give Texas families school choice.

🚨"Put school choice on the ballot" is a lazy, unconstitutional, last-ditch attempt to deny Texas families the rights they deserve. In Texas, referenda are for constitutional amendments. School choice is already constitutional! Plus - voters made it clear they want school choice...

Vouchers were already on the ballot

So many lies, where to begin… FACTS: ✅Education Savings Accounts = $10,000 ✅Students with special needs & low-income families are prioritized FIRST ✅Public schools will be fully funded And Arizona’s education funding saw a surplus last year. Stop lying, Representative.

TEA just dropped their latest school funding report—and it’s not good news for the anti-school choice crowd. The idea that Texas is “defunding” public education is Laughably false. Texas is spending $99.98 billion on public schools—a $7 billion increase from last session. #txlege

HAHA school choice derangement syndrome is alive and well. The bill explicitly prohibits the sharing or selling of sensitive data. Private schools must be accredited, and vendors must be registered in Texas (no foreign schools). What complete lie will you come up with next?🤔

Good reminder that Grayson County “conservatives” haven’t read the bill. School choice poses ZERO threat to private schools or homeschool students.

I stand with @realDonaldTrump for School Choice‼️ A victory for School Choice in Texas would translate to a BIG WIN for the USA. 🇺🇸 "... you have to do the school choice thing ..." - Donald J. Trump @GregAbbott_TX @Moms4LibertyGC @DeAngelisCorey @TPPF @BradBuckleyDVM @M4LWilCoTX @Moms4Liberty

🚨 Democrats have officially blown up their "ESAs defund schools" argument. They are finally admitting that in our current system when the student leaves for any reason, schools don't keep the money. So it's not the ESA program that "defunds" schools. "That's the way school finance works" right now. What Dems don't like about ESAs is that they significantly lower the barrier for millions of non-wealthy parents to choose something other than what the public school if offering. So it's easier for more parents to change schools, which gives parents more leverage within the school system. As we've said all along, it's about control.

Conservatives believe in competition, less government, fiscal responsibility, and teaching our students about our founding principles. People remove their kids from public school and send them to private school, but they are against #SchoolChoice in Texas. Why? Yep. That's what I thought. Rules for thee and not for me. @drbone4tx @DeAngelisCorey @GovAbbottPress #txlege #txed P.S. @TexasGOP is conservative, and they are for saving tax dollars and FOR #SchoolChoice

Parents should be the primary decision makers in their children’s education.
