Beyond the sadness over the terrible event at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, still unimaginable, there was something that stood out last week. America’s kids are smart! Really smart!

If these individuals were teaching in a public school, and not famous politicians, what would you bet that they’d still be working? How many older teachers do you know who are still teaching? While there is much gnashing […]

Students Can’t Hide From Common Core No Matter What School they Attend

April 13, 2015 By Nancy Bailey 19 Comments

The more I read about Common Core and education reform, the more I am convinced that one of the most important issues is that all students will have to be instructed with these standards if they choose to attend college. A misconception exists about students in private or parochial schools being lucky that they won’t […]

The School Equity and Staffing Act (HB1929) would fully fund the #VBOE’s prescribed changes for #Virginia schools to meet the needs of students. This imp legislation is up in @VaHouse Approps. @DelegateTorian @MarkSicklesVA we ask that you vote to #FundOurSchools.

@NancyEBailey1 This setting is not good for children or any other living things!
This arrangement addresses the virus, not the needs of children, teachers & learning.
WE MUST DO BETTER!
We have to get this right before we unplug Zoom.
