“Our public schools aren’t perfect. Much has been done to them in the name of privatization. But Americans might want to think twice before rejecting them. Instead, they might want to roll up their sleeves and see how to save their schools.” #Project2025 nancyebailey.com/2024/07/07/…

“Privatization is not just about privatizing the folks who get to provide education (or education-flavored products). It is about privatizing the responsibility for getting children an education.” curmudgucation.blogspot.com/…

Why is segregated education problematic? When children of diverse backgrounds learn together, they learn to live, work and govern together. When they're learning is segregated, they make society segregated. Segregation creates injustice and tolerates evil. We must end it.

“history is not ours to hoard from children. History has always been theirs to make. And the more they're empowered to know our yesterdays, the more prepared they will be to lead us into tomorrow.” @TheAmandaGorman #LetThemRead @FLFreedomRead
They won't call it a ban. Yet not only has my book been moved, but now elementary schoolers must request a copy from a specialist at its new site AND then also PROVE their reading level before seeing a copy. All these hurdles for a young reader just to access a poem in history written for them. @MDCPS , history is not ours to hoard from children. History has always been theirs to make. And the more they're empowered to know our yesterdays, the more prepared they will be to lead us into tomorrow.

American Academy of Pediatrics says critical factor how students learn to read “is not how aggressively,” they get instruction, but their “own enthusiasm for learning.” Early programs might "interfere" with that enthusiasm.

“There is a cost to becoming a great nation...
That cost is education. It is paying, supporting and respecting veteran teachers.
Are we still willing to pay it?”

To address the teacher shortage issue, we must address the teacher respect issue in our country. We must stop normalizing providing teachers with inadequate resources to be successful.

"It is past time to wake up and smell the flowers...
if we truly want to save our public school system, we have to stop propping up privatization.
In short, we need to end standardized testing."
Read @StevenSinger3's piece. It's past time.

“Senate Bill 1048 does not reduce the amount of standardized testing that our students must endure, nor does it eliminate the big make-or-break test at the end of year.”
