Arne Duncan, who was President Obama’s education secretary, just resurfaced to write an Op Ed in the Chicago Tribune. He argues that education reform after his oversight is doing well. Of course many disagree. We know that […]

“Fund the student, not the system.” is code for “we don’t give two shits about disabled or rural kids.”

Typically no, #schoolvouchers don’t cover full tuition. And the few schools that aren’t sub-prime providers and do offer a good #education will often deduct the voucher from student financial aid packages. https://twitter.com/amkrspz/status/1618945335220662273

One of Loudoun’s 2 charter schools hosts an event with the right wing Association of American Educators then closes school for a week to send staff to New Orleans 🤷🏻‍♀️ Do we pay for PD like this for other @LCPSOfficial teachers?
