  1. Looking forward to talking edu policy on @upwithchris at 8 am tomorrow, with @chrislhayes and @PedroANoguera
  2. . @chingos interesting report. did you compare these EMO/CMO schools to traditional district schools?
  3. . @chrislhayes oops, here is the link on Philly's history of experimentation with for-profit public schools prospect.org/article/busine…
  4. in 2007 RAND reported "We find no evidence of differential academic benefits that would support additional expenditures on private managers"
  5. . @noamross As MA guv, Romney opposed school busing. This is in fact why many transfer provisions fail on the ground
  6. I'm RTing the most interesting responses to this dialogue but they are in no way endorsements #duh
  7. in nations that have done well w/ large classes, there is far less child poverty. in US, teachers often overwhelmed by "out of school" probs
  8. one last note on class size....
  9. if we want students to be able to transfer to out-of-district schools--and I do!--we need much stronger incentives danagoldstein.net/dana_goldstein…
  10. also don't miss @kevincarey1 on how Romney's platform differs from W. Bush's. in short: all choice, no accountability tnr.com/article/politi…
  11. moving dollars with students in this way can't broadly integrate schools or provide access to quality if receiver schools can just say no
  12. if a school has slots for 250 kids, how many IDEA/Title 1 kids can it fit through the door? this is why transfer policies r impractical
