With K-12 standardized testing season in full swing , we should remember that the results R predictable & may not be telling U what U think they R telling U about teaching and learning mdpi.com/2227-7102/14/2… #edchat @FairTestOffice #edpolicy #leadlap #satchat @NPEaction @NYBATs
This graphic from @NashvillePEF does a good job compiling the independent evidence on vouchers in one graphic. And these sorry outcomes are probably the most generous evidence-based take—attainment results have been flat more recently, including where test scores cratered.
Soon, when you purchase a new car in Florida, your car dealer will be required to ask you to contribute to the diversion of $90+ million/year away from public schools ... funding instead homeschooling and tuition discounts for private school attendees. accountabaloney.com/what-is-that-n…

@sampsongregory This deceptive practice undermines the integrity of the testing system and ultimately hinders students' ability to truly demonstrate their knowledge and skills. It is crucial for education policymakers to prioritize fairness and accuracy in standardized testing.
Question for @FairTestOffice "Has anyone shown that ranking students, teachers, and schools is a valid use of CAT criterion-based assessments?" Are any other states using CATs for accountability?

Can Computer Adaptive Tests be used for state accountability? Are we expected to simply trust the algorithm or will independent studies be done to ensure such assessments are fair, valid and reliable, especially for #Florida's most at risk sub-populations? accountabaloney.com/questions-abou…
When asked “to choose their preference between education funding going toward either sending low-income students to private schools or to improving public schools. Overall, 73% of participants said funds should go to public schools.” #fundpublicschools edsurge.com/news/2024-04-2…

There was a lot of gaslighting last week from state leaders about what is causing FL to stay No. 1 in the country for censorship. Thank you to @Fla_Pol for allowing @TasslynM and our org to set the record straight. floridapolitics.com/archives/67102…

Great read about #Florida's SB1044: "It's a bad bill." "Is there anything in that bill that says there can't be a Satanic volunteer school chaplain? Nope, not a thing." "Maybe one of (@GovRonDeSantis') Harvard Law School professors can explain it to him."

Average teacher pay in FL is now 50th in the nation. Last. (!!) While average starting pay is 16th. This is intentional - called pay compression - which any MBA will tell you pushes out seasoned employees,& which I wrote on & warned about here in 2019 floridapolicy.org/posts/desantis…
Average teacher pay in Florida has fallen from 48th to 50th in the most recent NEA salary rankings released today. For all the patting on the back that the Gov and Commissioner do for increasing teacher pay, it’s clear the emperor has no clothes. Florida must do better.

@ChrisinJax1 Why? Because the TPS to charter procedures in the bill have nothing to do with education and everything to do with promoting alternatives to trad public schools. Not news to you, of course, but good to get out there for what it's worth.

@sampsongregory This deceptive practice undermines the integrity of the testing system and ultimately hinders students' ability to truly demonstrate their knowledge and skills. It is crucial for education policymakers to prioritize fairness and accuracy in standardized testing.
@FLBaloney As we both know, the dirty secret about Florida testing is that it pretends to be criterion-based whereas it is really norm-referenced. If too many students achieve a passing score, the state recalibrates the score needed to pass so that only a predetermined percentage do so.

When you specifically rent a minivan and Budget gives you a CX-90 to move your kid home from college. 😬
One useful way to answer the questions is to list the assumptions that have to hold for the mkt to work well & then show how they fail in distinctive ways in the case of schooling. Here it goes...

Remember, private schools can deny admission or kick kids out for any reason. Including if they think they "feel" like a family is good enough for them. Choice is a lie. Vouchers are a scam.

I’m not opposed to charter schools. I’m not opposed to private schools. I’m opposed to intentionally harming traditional public schools at the expense of our community, and not providing the resources they need to succeed.
