Nineteen For 2019: Choose This, NOT That, to Save Public Education in the New Year!

December 31, 2018 By Nancy Bailey 4 Comments

1.  Kindergarten NOT The New First Grade Kindergartners should be treated like the four and five-year-old students that they are and not pushed to be first graders. The activities and instruction for this age group are well established. Real educators should take charge and ensure that there’s much free play and age appropriate activities. 2.  […]

The School Safety Commission’s Troubling Ties to the Border Crisis

July 14, 2018 By Nancy Bailey 4 Comments

School safety is simmering in everyone’s minds during summer vacation. But looking at the individuals on the Federal Commission on School Safety should give us pause. How do they view children? There’s cognitive dissonance when they say they want safe schools, yet they thought it fine to separate babies and children from their parents in the […]

America’s Students are Brilliant! The Cynics Can No Longer Claim Otherwise!

February 25, 2018 By Nancy Bailey 11 Comments

Beyond the sadness over the terrible event at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, still unimaginable, there was something that stood out last week. America’s kids are smart! Really smart! They’re smarter than the school reformers who have said ugly things against them for years! President Trump referred to public schools in his Inaugural Address as an education […]

February 17, 2018 By Nancy Bailey 12 Comments

Does America love its kids? After Valentine’s Day the answer when it comes to many lawmakers is a definite NO! Even if you don’t live in Parkland, many knew those who did. Maybe you sat on the edge of your seat Wednesday, hoping against all odds that it wasn’t the parent you knew who was […]

Cherry-picking data to undermine schools 90% of us send our kids to & privatize for profit. Way to further demoralize an already beaten-down workforce & push for EVEN MORE standardized testing & data collection. Nothing new & exciting. Sounds so very dreary/ punitive/out-of-touch https://twitter.com/roanoketimes/status/1527313907034910721

Interesting. Wonder how the USDOE Office of Edtech will incorporate FTC's new COPPA policy statement. "Students must be able to do their schoolwork without surveillance by companies"

@PennBat I worry that many students with disabilities will miss out on inclusion classes with their non-disabled peers with vouchers. The best they will find are segregated charters or private schools that only focus on the disability.

1. You lost
2. Where are the Special Ed students supposed to go when all the public schools are gone and voucher schools won't accept them?

"School Choice" isn't for ALL kids. Anyone who says it is, is full of 💩 https://twitter.com/DeAngelisCorey/status/1513571301155348481

@RepKrajewski the money doesn't belong to the government schools.

education funding is meant for educating children, not for protecting a particular institution.

we should fund students, not systems.
