The Stealth Campaign Against Public Schools and the Public Space

March 25, 2017 By Nancy Bailey Leave a Comment

Sheila posted this exactly two years ago and her words are still stunning. The post has been  recirculating and I wanted to highlight it. Many thanks to Sheila Resseger for her passionate and pointed writing. By Sheila Resseger, M.A. Instead of seeing these children for the blessings that they are, we are measuring them only […]

Could Changing College Admissions Be the End of High-Stakes Testing?

January 20, 2016 By Nancy Bailey 11 Comments

Could it be that once the first domino falls the rest will follow? Leaders at eighty leading colleges and universities, including the Ivy League, are attempting to revise the application process to look at students and their personal interests!

Teacher Concerns about Age Discrimination and the Teacher Shortage

August 29, 2015 By Nancy Bailey 4 Comments

Many teachers raised concerns about age discrimination relating to the current teacher shortage after a recent post. I gathered what I had learned and I have added additional information. I also provide links at the bottom to other important articles about this topic. It is important to state that older teachers want to encourage young […]

Students Can’t Hide From Common Core No Matter What School they Attend

The more I read about Common Core and education reform, the more I am convinced that one of the most important issues is that all students will have to be instructed with these standards if they choose to attend college. A misconception exists about students in private or parochial schools being lucky that they won’t […]

The Stealth Campaign Against Public Schools and the Public Space

March 25, 2015 By Nancy Bailey 1 Comment

By Sheila Resseger, M.A. Instead of seeing these children for the blessings that they are, we are measuring them only by the standard of whether they will be future deficits or assets for our nation’s competitive needs.  Jonathan Kozol Our children, our families, our neighborhoods, our public schools, and our democracy itself have become pawns […]

Why Do Catholics Care About Common Core?

November 4, 2013 By Nancy Bailey Leave a Comment

And every student deserves to be prepared for a life of the imagination, of the spirit, and of a deep appreciation for beauty, goodness, truth, and faith. Gerard Bradley and Catholic Scholars October 16, 2013 Valerie Strauss’s post about Catholic scholars rejecting the Common Core is an important read http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2013/11/02/catholic-scholars-blast-common-core-in-letter-to-u-s-bishops/. That so many Catholics find it necessary […]
