Nancy Bailey: Reading Disabilities: Focus on Public Schools NOT School Choice!

“It’s unfair to say public school teachers fail to teach reading, while charter schools show substandard results. This creates a double standard.” @NancyEBailey1

The focus should be on lifting traditional public schools & reading programs for many students who attend those schools rather than on unproven private and charter schools. Fix IDEA by increasing options. https://nancyebailey.com/2023/01/29/reading-disabilities-focus-on-public-schools-not-school-choice/

On-demand standardized testing has no place in kindergarten. There are far more appropriate and meaningful methods of assessing young children. https://twitter.com/reimagschool/status/1619665302450753536

My wife's Kindergarten students felt very stressed and were crying when they had to take a standardized test. When she reported this to administrators their solution was "test them until they cry, and then stop." #testthemtiltheycry #resisttesting
