Important piece: “We allow behavior that would not be acceptable in any public square. Teachers are cussed out, threatened, disrespected with no consequences. The general public doesn’t understand the crisis we are in. It’s embarrassing. It’s tragic.”fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…
"New York also has one of the most restrictive open-enrollment laws in the country and allows public schools to charge tuition to transfer students, effectively allowing wealthy suburban public schools to block low-income transfer students."--@AaronGarthSmith

Trump’s secret strategy. Help RFK Jr. be a #Spoiler4Trump. Trump says he loves the RFK candidacy because he knows he can’t win without a third party spoiler candidate who splits the anti-Trump vote. It’s as simple as that. Here’s the rest of the story. youtu.be/UNbOsWyIAhU

Excellent piece, tho would be stronger if he included feedback from parental surveys and, for hi schools, student outcomes like graduation rates, college & employment rates. Building a New Accountability System for Truly Student-Centered Education @The74the74million.org/article/buildi…
"As a result, the demographics of the teaching force now closely mirror [New Orleans'] population: The share of Black teachers rose from 53.5% in 2017-18 to 61.4% in 2021-22 in a city that is 58% Black." This in an all-charter system. @The74the74million.org/article/federa…
Charter competition helps students in district-run schools: "Our latest report ... finds that charters slightly boosted the graduation and attendance rates of traditional district students, while having no significant impacts on their state exam scores." fordhaminstitute.org/ohio/research/…
Majority of working class people oppose college debt forgiveness & want "more public investment in apprenticeships & career pathways (74 percent) plus 'affordable, short-term training programs that combine work and learning.'" newsweek.com/who-makes-work…
Both parties' success this November hinges upon winning over American workers without degrees.
PPI's @EBGresser & @taylor_maag delve deeper into this crucial electorate, and explain how neither party is grasping who these voters are and what they want.

RIP Don Shalvey. The education sector lost one of the first leaders who launched a charter school network, funded via @gatesfoundation others to launch similar networks & helped us understand the policies needed for these networks to replicate their success. The world lost a true…
School choice discussions often overlook intradistrict open enrollment. But this could be part of a wider effort to stem the tide of disenrollment that many districts are experiencing. A recent study examines the impact of one such program in Los Angeles. fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…
There's more enthusiasm for vouchers than charters today. "Yet based on their strong track record, slowly but surely continuing to expand high-quality charter schools may be the best approach to improving student outcomes & expanding parental options."
