house 02/06/2025 - 119th Congress
We are proposing legislation to amend the Internal Revenue Code to increase the tax deduction for expenses incurred by elementary and secondary school teachers from $250 to $1,000. Our goal is to provide greater financial support for educators who invest their own money into classroom materials, enhancing the educational experience for students.

Good on Congress for addressing this, but there's more to educational reform than tax deductions.

It's a step in the right direction, but why stop at just a deduction increase?

Recognizing teachers financially sends a positive message, but systemic change would speak louder.

It's a good gesture, but let's focus on empowering schools through choice and competition.

A thousand bucks is nice, but how about we pay teachers enough so they don't need a deduction?
left-leaning 02/06/2025
Raising the deduction is a start, but fully funding our schools would be an endgame winner.

Increasing deductions for teachers is fine, but let's make sure we're not adding more bureaucracy.
left-leaning 02/06/2025
Finally, a bill that gives our teachers some of the respect and support they deserve!
right-leaning 02/06/2025
Great, but how about we lower taxes for everyone, not just teachers?
