Chill. Education change doesn’t happen in a few elections. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. It will take more than a few years to unravel a 150yr + institution which rewards bureaucracy. We’ve been at this for 30 years. It’s a long game, not for the faint of heart.

I was not aware that inanimate objects could “hurt” Let’s get more clear about this word which they have gotten away with using forever It means they - the people vested in system - can’t just earn money for not having students. Right?

North Carolina Governor just said school choice "hurts public schools" Why would giving families a choice hurt public schools?🤔

Not a fad. Have seen 1000s more apps @YassPrize . "Currently approximately 125,000 microschools exist across the country...according to @donsoifer of the National Microschooling Center."

The Rising Trend in Private Education: Teeny, Tiny Schools

Families reacting to an influx of voucher funds and postpandemic woes are increasingly choosing schools with one to two dozen children.

Watch the video when @Lily_NEA reads a litany of teacher complaints including the “tarded” kids. And you all were worried about @BetsyDeVosED ? Did you ever hear her say anything mean about a child?

So here is the most amazing thing. This guy, Boston teacher, likes responding to my tweets claiming charter schools are discriminatory. Yet he works at Boston Latin Academy that requires an exam for entrance. Isn't that just the biggest crock?? Choice for me, not for thee!

There has to be some penalty for this... somewhere. The only thing that makes school districts like this act is if there is a stick, because clearly the carrot doesn't work.

The Oklahoma State Board of Education closed all public schools, including VIRTUAL charter schools. That makes no sense at all. Unless they realized that families would flock to these online options?🤔

Biden Admin launches attack on #charterschools , setting in motion more rules intended to constrain their numbers & enrollment masking it as accountability when it's nothing of the sort. It was only a matter of time. Goal is to make charters look like systems, as if that works.

Los Angeles Teachers Union Strikes again, calling it a “worker walkout.” Nope it’s a strike. Unprecedented local and federal funding and fewer students to teach. And we wonder why superintendent turnover is so high and parent trust so low.

Oh shoot - they are telling me to hush. Tell you what. I promise to hush, and let you off the hook from teaching - even remotely - if you'll support giving parents the money directly that schools are being paid to educate. Deal?

Can you believe it? A sitting governor with a state whose education has improved by more than 30 spots out of 50 since comprehensive choices were made available wants to cut them? Hell hath no fury like a parent scorned... Go Parents!

Roberts: The Blaine Amendment was “born of bigotry” and “arose at a time of pervasive hostility to the Catholic Church and to Catholics in general”; many of its state counterparts have a similarly “shameful pedigree.” Just like we said. #Espinoza wins. #SCOTUS rules for freedom

SAT scores decline. Again. Politico reports that fewer students took it and only 45% of test takers meet benchmarks. Wait, and the unions want to deprive children of education even longer?
