October 17, 2020 By Nancy Bailey 7 Comments

The University of South Florida (USF) has announced the end of their education school due to a $36.7 million university budget cut. The change will save $6.8 million over two years.

The country is priming for that once a year period where you are venerated by America for the work that you do—for all the children you just finished testing the heck out of—through little fault of your own. It’s Teacher Appreciation Week! Want to see how so-called leaders and the media are […]

Biden team picks a strong supporter of high-stakes testing, Ian Rosenblum, as Deputy Assistant Secretary for K-12. He never was a teacher. https://www.lohud.com/story/opinion/contributors/2018/04/04/state-test-results-standards/486814002/
