Looking forward to (re)connecting in other spaces!

@McDIU05 @detroitnews It's definitely (always?) about NAEP. The only time our local media can be bothered to cover education is during a standardized test score release + the only thing they can say is "learning loss." We have real, complex issues here, but this is what we get.

If anyone knows about "working" from home + playing golf, it's this guy.

@ChiSpecialEd He isn't a bot, but he is a sad charlatan trying really hard to be a right-wing edu celeb. He writes purposefully outrageous things to get attention.

@plthomasEdD She couldn't understand even if she wanted to because it would require assessment literacy, actual knowledge of the education system + dropping her right-wing outrage act that she uses for engagement purposes. She's too dense to know, too ignorant to care.

@ZachWil11217202 It's a lot easier for the people in charge to blame kids, teachers + communities than for them to engage in nuanced conversations about the complex set of factors that impact + influence literacy. Blaming kids, teachers + communities is big business.

Live look at the Democrats right now...

This is totally correct. I'd just add that some on the left are too quick to shame imperfect allies out of movements + action. Too many people believe "everyone's politics are inconsistent except for my own," which is part of this broader issue the left is facing right now.

I think we also need to point out the way those in power have systemically + deliberately neglected + disinvested in secondary students. When the powers-that-be decide students don't matter after third grade--as leaders across many states have--this is part of result.

@McDIU05 The dude is just a shill for vouchers and for-profit education.

These tutoring companies--with little transparency, few results + massive exploitation--are a waste of money. Instead of enriching private equity firms, these funds would be better used locally. Democrats should run on getting corporations out of classrooms + schools.

@Oldboatie @ZoeMartell1 Precisely! This is literally what many of us have been asking for, but here we are...

@ZoeMartell1 @Oldboatie This is happening more often on here to the detriment of CC movements. These people are doing what's right + still being shamed. Shame isn't working + a new approach is needed to organize others to make safer health decisions, IMO.

@teachbk You couldn't be more right. Unfortunately, many of the problems schools face are the direct result of cowardly leadership. Too many haven't even confronted the harm in their own schools, so I'm pessimistic about them being courageous in the face of broader threats.
