Lucky to get an impromptu concert from @PBenjamanBand and friends As they warm up at @FasslerHallTUL. We can’t be here tonight for their full set, but if you’re in Tulsa and looking for somewhere to ring in 2019, their music is very good. pic.twitter.com/asjPh0pcg0

You know those people who ask, “how are you,” butvyou know it’s a hollow greeting? And then those people who ask it and you know they mean it? Marty is the latter.

I’m alt Cert. It was a hair-raising experience. We do need to embrace who we have in our schools emergency or not and ensure our kiddos have a great teacher guiding them.

A8 (for real this time lol) I’m visiting schools (even charters) all over to get a feeling of frontline greatness and issues that need resolved. I’m staying wary as a hawk about keeping virtual charters accountable to us taxpayers.

Teachers have a friend in me to be sure #Oklaed
I’m all bout that local control, but we must be watchful for any policies that strip equitability away from our schools. Tis a slippery slope to go full on local control.

Careful with removing red tape ideas, my friend. I know teachers want less crap, but that’s less tests less unfunded mandates etc, not Betsy DeVos style “red tape” ideas such as protecting all students

Listen to experts at UCO about what they need to incentivize teachers to go thru pro teaching progs
Invest in our schools and make it a job peeps for which peeps will fight!

Peeps in charge want to run our schools and core state services like a corporation. Ok. But with no appreciable investment to see them grow and do better? How is that going to help us be top 10? And thank you Governor for tuning in! See you at your inauguration!

— Rep. Jacob Rosecrants (@jacobrosecrants) December 31, 2018
We MUST realize that if we want to be top 10 in anything other than poor health outcomes, incarceration, and STDs, we MUST invest in all of our core state services, ESP our public schools. It isn’t rocket science. Bet rocket scientists agree with me tho #Oklaed

So my hope for 2019 is that it looks a lot less like 2018—or 1889—for families who scrape by despite their hard work—whether that’s in a job or in caring for family who can’t care for themselves. And that requires all of us to work toward a square deal for everybody.
— Rep. Forrest Bennett (@ForrestBennett) December 27, 2018
The point was, to me, that too many were led to believe—by those who had those things already—that by continuing to accept substandard wages, living conditions, etc., so others could live well, that they’d be given the same later. And it rarely ever happened. It’s still that way.
— Rep. Forrest Bennett (@ForrestBennett) December 27, 2018
Mark Twain wrote of people who would “starve that they may be fed, work that they might play, ...go naked that they may wear silk & jewels, and pay taxes that they may be spared them.” He wrote this in 1889. Sounds too familiar in 2018.
