A1: If anyone else did their job like the #okleg we wouldn’t have a job to come back to…. #oklaed #dobetter NOT the #okstandard

A1) Left and Right ideology getting in the way of something positive. Very frustrated with lack of compromise. #OklaEd

A2–Time for corporations that benefit from our state to contribute to our state. No more taxes on middle class! #oklaed #RestoreGPT

— Claudia Swisher (@ClaudiaSwisher) October 30, 2017

A2) Absolutism has caused this problem ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ISLE, we need statesmen & stateswomen not people running 4 re-election #oklaed

A3- It seemed like it was a good compromise. I'm still confused at why it failed? Can they go back and amend during reg. session? #oklaed

A3b: What I find offensive is perpetually hanging carrot of a pay raise in front of teachers, then yanking it away at the last min. #oklaed

— Rob Miller (@edgeblogger) October 30, 2017

#OklaEd Teachers continue to fall further behind in pay. #OkHouse should reconsider the budget plan that includes $3,000 teacher pay raise. pic.twitter.com/St4pJcWiwM

A4. I remember the pain from the last 1. More work from cuts, more Ss, no job security, morale low and many looking for new jobs. #oklaed

— Andre Daughty (@andredaughty) October 30, 2017

A4)Cuts? What is their reasoning for not seeing the issues that schools face? Can one of them answer that question? #oklaed

The lack of adequate #OklaEd funding and competitive teacher pay has caused the teacher shortage crises to grow exponentially pic.twitter.com/RVgMHQzc2T

A5: I stayed in Oklahoma. Does that count? Oh and I like to call people out on Twitter even when they have full voicemails. #shade #oklaed

— Meghan Loyd (@meghanloyd) October 30, 2017

*Sigh* After so many years it feels futile. I focus my efforts on the public, feel like #OKleg refuses to understand. #oklaed https://t.co/J7BST0jHao

A6. After umpteen #oklaed #okleg chats where we state (clearly) that it's not about testing, for some reason it's still not registering. pic.twitter.com/VqsUAvMpBM

A6. Don’t care. Sup sent out a message to families but I don’t think they care. They just care if I care about their child #oklaed

That's exactly what I wanted to say. Just didn't know how to spell it!! #oklaed

— Kathy Dunn (@KathySDunn) October 30, 2017

A7 Always difficult teaching with autopsy results, it points out areas of weakness that we can work on, but new year means new Ss #oklaed
