Did any of these people ever teach? In a K12 school? For more than a few months?

For the "but a tax credit's not a voucher" folks... The layers of complexity in the tax credit scheme (including tax benefits for rich households and corporations as a bonus!) just obscure the same outcome. Public $ goes to private schools in both cases.
No lie detected:
WBGO is a blessing, one of the many things that makes this state great.

@jerseyjazzman their higher ed rankings? A post by Hess?
@jerseyjazzman ha.ha. I was going to say anyone who reads those rankings.
I'm genuinely curious to hear how the chief of Democrats for Education Reform thinks Dems should run as pro charter school in states like North Carolina where the GOP has made charter expansion a signature cause as part of its larger project of destabilizing public education
The politics of education have shifted profoundly since the Obama era. What’s that mean for Democrats for Education Reform? I talk with @DFER_News chief @Jorge_Elorza about the education landscape, Democratic politics, school choice, & more. edweek.org/policy-politic…
@rickhess99 @DFER_News @Jorge_Elorza Elorza’s claim that “We’ve always believed that DFER’s mission aligns well with core progressive values” is disproven by what Whitney Tilson admitted: that he started DFER as “inside job” as the GOP was already aligned with its privatization goals curmudgucation.blogspot.com/2015/03/who-pu…
Here's Nick Nurse repeatedly calling timeout and the referees ignoring him the whole time
"I called timeout. The referee looked right at me, and ignored me. Tyrese Maxey got the ball. I called timeout again, he ignored me again. Then the melee started." – Nick Nurse at his postgame presser on what happened at the end of the game.
Weird as this seems, seeing these kids enjoying xylophones, made 7th grade memory pop into my head. 7th grade music teacher played a recording of "Aida." I was transfixed. Different teacher for band. (I was on alto sax.) I loved both. My best school memories are musical ones.
Awesome and proof that every school needs a well funded music program! Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" xylophone-style.

Whether You’re Talking About Struggling Six Year Olds or Columbia University, Schools Calling Police on Their Own Students Is a Recipe for Success
@jerseyjazzman This one reason (in addition to practical ones, like the fact that I’ll be able to retire and that my daughter’s birth was cheap) that I’m glad we have a union. We made our own table.
@jerseyjazzman That’s all facts, but it’s also worth teasing out … at some point.
You say there is a teacher shortage and yet the principal of Abbott Elementary had to interview 536 applicants for an open teaching position.
@jerseyjazzman The public loves teachers. District admins, legislators, and educational policy wonks tend to hate teachers. I think the former explains the latter. People who want power in schools don’t like that teachers have the ability to stand up for themselves with public support.
I think about this often. I’ve taught, worked in the Senate, been in full-time PhD program, and am now back in a classroom. One thing that stands out: a lot of talk and decisions happen while teachers are *working*. Getting time off is hard. Time off affects schools, classrooms…
There are plenty of people who have never taught who make important contributions to education policy. But there is no place at the table for those who actually do the work. I can't think of another area of policymaking that does this. It's bizarre.
