  1. Prikvačeni tweet

    Just found out I passed the Mass. teacher licensure test - which makes me, provisionally at least, a teacher!

  2. Best part of my Texas edventure so far: hanging out with . And that my rental car is a pick up truck!

  3. School vouchers are back. And so is with a look at the raging debate over whether public money should fund private religious education. Guest breaks it down

  4. I just visited what counts for an old school in this part of Texas: 20 years! This area is growing so fast that the school district has added 17 new schools in 15 years.

  5. And rural Wisconsin where some of the most conservative counties in the state keep voting to hike their taxes to pay for local schools, even as they elect GOP representatives who cut their funding and enact voucher programs

  6. In the past few months I've been to Michigan, where the MI GOP is saddled with DeVos' increasingly unpopular education agenda - and Democrats are making moves

  7. I've been interested in the widening gulf between the GOP and its voters over education since I went to NW Ohio for the joint DeVos/Weingarten school visit. Remember that?? I talked to rural voters who loved Trump but were furious he'd picked DeVos. And so my *journey* began!

  8. Topics that came up at last night's R/D candidate forum: school funding (TX ranks 47th), standardized testing, teacher pay, vouchers, charter school transparency. Topics that didn't: teachers unions. You'll get to hear all about it, btw, in forthcoming

  9. I'm in north Texas all week listening to GOP legislative candidates talk public education. Not hearing a lot re *failing government schools.* Former Tea Party darling I heard last night has a new cause: charter school accountability. Not too happy about IDEA's private plane!

  10. Looks like I picked the right time to head to Texas to talk to GOP candidates about why school vouchers have been such a bust here

  13. These bills are popping up everywhere. They're part of a push to paint public education as a fundamentally partisan (read Democratic) enterprise.

  14. Iowa bill would prohibit teachers from talking about *controversial* issues (controversy meaning any issue addressed in a fed, state or local party platform) h/t

  15. My co-host had a great idea. So much of what we do on the pod is heavy - Why not end each ep. w/ a teacher talking about great stuff happening at their school? IOW 60 seconds of sunshine. And it works! I feel sunnier just listening to their stories

  16. Any fans in Texas? I'm headed to Dallas/Ft Worth/Plano next week for a forthcoming episode on public education & politics in the Lone Star State. Can't wait!

  17. Quick question: what does it mean that my neighbors are now flying their Trump flag upside down??

    Poništi
  18. In fact, some have argued (that would be me!) that DeVos and her agenda are so unpopular that she could cost Trump the state of Michigan

  19. See for example Ohio where the GOP is rushing to defuse a school choice time bomb (during school choice week!)

  20. What's funny about the decision to send Betsy DeVos out as a Trump surrogate is that not only is she his least popular cabinet member but her *blow up the schools* agenda has no appeal to his rural & suburban constituents

  21. I consider myself an expert on global pandemics because I read 's incredible novel Station 11...
