A must-read. School choice started as a means of resisting the Brown decision and racial desegregation. https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2021/01/14/the-dark-history-of-school-choice/

The cutting of music has to stop. The reduction of funding has to stop. The devaluing of music has to stop. The idea that it’s an ‘extra’ has to stop. The idea that it’s not academic has to stop. The idea that it’s not essential to education has to stop. It all has to stop. Now.

Most boardroom meetings don't even have 35 people in them. Yet, Republicans want teachers to teach over 50 kids. That is insane. Most days in class, I didn't have enough desks or space for those desks. So, how can we put more kids in these classes? There will be no walking space. https://twitter.com/TheTNHoller/status/1617516564432961537

The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller

😳WATCH: “Class size limits could soon be a thing of the past in Tennessee.”

As Republicans steer💰from underfunded public schools to private
ones in a teacher shortage, senator @lundbergjon (R) wants to make it worse. (TEACHER: “A catastrophe.”)

Having failed at drumming up even artificial support for DeVos #schoolvouchers in #miched, it seems bored Right-wing PACs are organizing around—wait for it—keeping 3rd grade retention in place #mileg 🤦‍♂️

The #scienceofreading movement is yet another anti-teacher movement in education reform. Just like TFA, charter schools, and the VAM-era of Michelle Rhee. Bashing veteran teachers and teacher educators and coaxing new teachers with false blame and false narratives
