The gap between a great teacher and a bad one is as wide as in any profession, yet their own union insists on treating them as interchangeable cogs in a machine.
Congrats to @vkoganpolisci on today's release via @CambridgeUP of No Adult Left Behind, my early nominee for the book of the year on education politics. And don't miss this excerpt in @EducationNext. educationnext.org/how-adult-cult…
@MrZachG @shulsie @NealMcCluskey @fsuigc @MichaelTHartney deserves the credit, he came up with it! I got a pay him 10% of royalties!
Coffee shops should have a special line, like TSA Pre-Check, for people ordering just black coffee.
Since the state took over Houston schools in '23, HISD has undergone one most remarkable turnarounds ever in urban ed. Results released today show # of A & B rated schools rose from 93→197 while D & F schools fell 121→18 in 2 years. Yet this is how local paper covered the news.
Illinois: “Not lowering standards; just matching reality.” Euphemism of the year.
When asked "what makes one school better than another?" parents FAR more likely to say academics/learning than nonparents. Yet nonparents are majority of voters in school board elections. Should not be surprised achievement doesn't matter much. Source: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.310…
Guys, good news! No reading problem. (Ignore the debate about proficient, just go to the NAGB website, look the percentages of students who are *below basic" and look at the standards/items and decide if you think that is OK.) washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
My new article with @trounstine shows hundreds of city governments had organized employees by the 1930s-1950s. Despite different legal contexts before 1960, the timing & location of early public-sector organization had more in common with private-sector organization than is often…

"Follow the Leader" politics has come for school accountability, @MichaelTHartney shows. The best thing Trump could do for K-12 education is come out against standardized testing. Support among Democrats would rebound for sure! the74million.org/article/suppor…
Checker Finn: SNAP shouldn't fund junk food, and ESAs shouldn't fund terrible or fraudulent schools and providers. We're not talking about a high bar here, people! fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…
Many claim adherence to Horace Mann's progressive vision of "Common Schools." But few seem to know he was very concerned about schools becoming caught up in adult political and partisan fights -- used as tools for indoctrinating a captive audience of children!
Prediction: Disability accommodations will be next big higher ed culture war battle (after DEI/CRT, anti-Semitism, etc.). Hopefully folks will take reasonable concerns seriously and work on solutions themselves, instead of waiting to have them imposed. wsj.com/opinion/how-ch…
Happy Birthday to Thomas Sowell who turns 95 today.

Billy, this is Rafael Devers. He’s one of the best hitters in the league, a 30 HR per year guy, guaranteed 5 WAR. His one flaw? The FSG corporate finance team ran a model that saves John Henry 100 BPs in 2030 if we trade him for no contracts in return.
The Boston Red Sox turned Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers into nothing
"Put simply, the data suggest that school board elections often fall short of the democratic ideal. Most contests are, in fact, uncontested." bit.ly/3ZrnMK2
Every time.
DOGE leveled IES. Now comes the hard part: rebuilding it with purpose. @rickhess99 offers a smart blueprint—ditch the bloat, defend the data, and don’t mistake new “priorities” for real reform. Hope @EDSecMcMahon seizes on the opportunity.
