New @HaveYouHeardPod school voucher advocates are cheering their success this legislative session. But as rural schools close and taxes go up, a backlash is inevitable. We head to Idaho where a prominent business group said *no thanks* on.soundcloud.com/RA1ocx4yXQPcAi…
Vouchers aren’t the only way that Christian Nationalist politicians are trying to change publicly funded education. daytondailynews.com/local/ohio-bil…
Look. It’s not like there’s a strong evidence case for vouchers, so there’s a genuine moral dilemma about a scheme that works for kids even though it’s part of a big discriminatory Right-wing push. It’s that the evidence is atrocious, too, and has gotten worse with time.
I’ve been warning you these voucher schemes spur pop-up schools and that’s part of why the results are so bad. But even I hadn’t expected some of the Right-wing lawmakers who backed them to cash in themselves. Tracks, I guess.
TL;DR: what the voucher lobby means when they talk about their grassroots “movement” arkansasadvocate.com/2024/03/25/sch…
Years ago, working on a voucher evaluation led by pro-voucher scholars, a couple other then-junior analysts and I found a troubling pattern. At-risk kids left vouchers at very high rates. But they did better switching to public school. We published that separately in 2013👇
With permission, sharing snippet of feedback I received on my article about impact of "spiritual warfare" on LGBTQ students in religious schools. Please share if you think others might benefit from my deeply personal work. 👇tandfonline.com/share/WKJHBSHX…
"Iowa legislator opening his own private school, to be funded by vouchers he voted for" @joshcowenMSU have you seen this sheer audacity?

@Dr_ConstanceL "Our preferred methods in education policy research have limitations. The question of whether race causes an outcome is so constrained that the null hypothesis is that there is no discrimination and no structural or systemic racism" - @Dr_ConstanceL
Few education policy experts, and few journalists on that beat, really grasp how key school privatization is to *broader* Right-wing political aims. It’s not just a policy debate. @anelsona @badfaithdoc theguardian.com/film/2024/apr/…
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.
Research shows parents do want many things from their schools but they don’t want *horrific* academics as a tradeoff. Which is what vouchers give to the average student. As voucher systems grew in size over the last decade, truly terrible providers began to cash in @soeceep

State and local education agencies usually get 30 days notice to edit/review research using their data, prior to release. Oliva’s shop is so political it’s an open question whether @ArkansasEd would ever approve publication of a study that goes against their message.

How many parents would buy a used car to drive their kiddos to school, without test-driving and checking the vehicle history first? But the voucher lobby’s view of accountability is: take the word of the sub-prime school that you’re driving to, when it claims to be good.
To put the point differently: application data from high-choice cities like NOLA and DC show parents value academics more than they tell surveys. They’re willing to accept a small academic decline to get other school features. But not the huge drop they get with vouchers.

When we say private school vouchers are a right-wing grift, this is what we mean.
New from @Rushthewriter: Rep. Dean Fisher (R-Montour) is set to open a new private school in his district in 2025 and its future financial backing will depend on taxpayer-funded private school tuition vouchers he helped vote into law. iowastartingline.com/2024/04/29/iow…
I've been writing for the @ConversationUS for almost a decade. My articles have been read hundreds of thousands of times, communicating scientific findings to readers worldwide. This video summarizes the great collaboration that makes this wide dissemination of research possible.
Ten years of collaboration between @UF and @ConversationUS have brought us insights from over 300 authors covering topics ranging from an incorrect taste map to the air on Mars. Since then, nearly 500 articles have been published, resulting in 25 million reads and counting!
@Dr_ConstanceL "Our preferred methods in education policy research have limitations. The question of whether race causes an outcome is so constrained that the null hypothesis is that there is no discrimination and no structural or systemic racism" - @Dr_ConstanceL
@Dr_ConstanceL posits that the field of ed policy research has critical shortcomings with regard to the study of racialized differences in student outcomes in her talk about rethinking education policy research in service of improving Black student outcomes.
Was just watching this debate unfold, but figured amplifying this point was important. More options for students doesn’t require vouchers. There are over 30 school districts within a 5 mile radius of Camden NJ. We can fix the borders issue without opting out of public education

ALEC is much more than a "think tank." Here is their "model" legislation written 14 years ago, being pushed to promote privatization. Pro-charter legislator was an original author. alec.org/model-policy/t… coloradopolitics.com/news/amendment…
This past session, I was proud to bring legislation that would have repealed TN’s Education Savings Account pilot program that provides taxpayer-funded vouchers. Unfortunately, it didn’t pass. We can’t let up on the voucher fight. It will be back in 2025. tennessean.com/story/news/edu…
One general law governs higher ed commentary: the less one interacts with current university students, the more vocally one claims to understand them, and the quicker one is to condemn them.
Very odd that Jeb Bush was somehow enticed to cross state lines & write a puff piece in praise of LEARNS -- that illustrates how ill informed he is about what LEARNS actually does to make teacher shortages worse. #Arkansas #arpx
In an @ArkansasOnline Op-Ed piece, @JebBush — former governor, presidential candidate and big baseball fan — tips his cap to @SarahHuckabee, @ArkansasEd Secretary Jacob Oliva and the @ArkansasHouse and @ArkansasSenate. tinyurl.com/yc47mccw #ARPX #ARnews #Education
