Day 4 of posting until the Dem majority in AZ give teachers a much deserved raise. Today I had off for Veterans Day! I still tutored Algebra. Why? Because the kids need me and I still need $$ to pay my bills. Reality of a 29 year veteran single teacher! @azdemparty

👏 After 10 years of fighting alongside our volunteers and partners, WE DID IT! Arizona now has a public education supermajority in the Senate (20-10) and a strong majority in the House (37-23). It’s time to GET THINGS DONE FOR AZ KIDS! 🎉🎉🎉

THANK YOU, ARIZONA VOTERS! 🎉🎉🎉
Because of your support for public schools, 76% of school bonds and overrides PASSED statewide! 📚✨
Thank you for voting YES to invest in our local public schools, our teachers, and the future of Arizona's students.

Public school advocate @AZBethLewis of @arizona_sos said lawmakers were able to "pull back" between $200 million and $250 million from the ESA program, it could pay for a $4,000 to $5,000 raise for "every single teacher in the state."

Day 3 of posting every day until teachers in AZ get a raise. Guess how much I lost moving from one district to another? 20K. I was a 15 year veteran teacher making almost a first year teacher salary again.
Because that’s how it goes in education. @AZLD4Dems @azdemparty
Tomorrow I’ll be working from 7-3. Tutoring from 3:15-5:15.
It makes for a really long day with a 30 min break if I’m lucky.
If I got a significant raise, I could end my 2nd job. I’m hopeful. @azdemparty @katiehobbs @azedschools

In 2017 I said I would post every day until teachers in AZ got a real raise. In 2018 we walked out. We DID get a raise.
No raise to speak of for me since. I’m BACK! Every damn day I’ll talk about it. @azdemparty @katiehobbs

EXCLUSIVE: "The grift is over."
Two key Democrats - Rep. Nancy Gutierrez and @SenAnaliseOrtiz - tell @12news their party will pass major reform to Arizona's lightly regulated Empowerment Scholarship Program after winning control of the Legislature.

Can I get a response from @AmericanExpress? No email reply. No phone reply, I’m never worked with a company as bad and insensitive when a card holder dies. What a disgrace.

I honestly wish I could tell @McIlroyRory how much he meant to my dad, and how he reminds me of my dad who passed this past July. I only watched golf with my dad, and watching this weekend I feel my dad’s presence with me! Go RORY! Win or lose, we’re behind you 🩷

A Cardinals Legend we will never forget.
Happy birthday to Larry Wilson—Hall of Fame safety, pioneer of the safety blitz, and longtime coach, general manager, and vice president for the organization he served for 42 years.
My mom is getting nowhere trying to redeem @AmericanExpress points on my dad’s card since he died in July. Account is paid in full and closed, we followed all the instructions and emailed documentation. Can anyone help?

I still think someone should do a story on this. State math assessments in AZ are far harder than other states. Most adults couldn’t memorize every formula and pass our practice tests.
Someone should do a story comparing AZ state tests to other states…
Every state test I looked at last night, 7th-8th students are given all formulas. Not AZ! Not one formula is given to my math students anymore.
