Parents and Teachers United: A Force for Students, Public Education, and America!

November 28, 2019 By Nancy Bailey 14 Comments

On this Thanksgiving, I am remembering parents and teachers, Republicans and Democrats, who work together to create public schools that serve all children. This relationship is sacred and critical for children to learn. Without this bond there’s little hope for public education and America’s future. The corporate reform, dystopian goal is to destroy public education […]

Articles about “Reading Wars” Meant to Divide Teachers and Parents!

November 4, 2018 By Nancy Bailey 16 Comments

A wave of recent articles about reading trick parents and educators into thinking teachers are not teaching reading and are not being trained to teach reading correctly. The opinion pieces are written by journalist Emily Hanford. Warning! Corporate reform fingerprints are all over these articles. Could it be about transforming classrooms to technology, where students […]

DeVos and the Domino Effect on State Legislatures

January 31, 2017 By Nancy Bailey 4 Comments

So Betsy is in, or maybe she isn’t. DeVos stands as an example of both the corruption and stupidity of corporate America with its involvement attempting to educate America’s children. Republicans are spineless to confirm her, and Democrats, while united today, have also been complicit in permitting the dismantling of America’s public schools. If you […]

Education Mirages and Presidential Politics—Hillary Clinton

May 12, 2016 By Nancy Bailey 11 Comments

Presidential politics and education—it’s like crawling through the desert. You see the same old landscape, and then, out in the distance you see real teacher support and quality schooling! And you hear “I will make public schools great again!” We are bombarded with statements that sound supportive of public schools and teachers, parents, and students, […]

UNBELIEVABLE that TN is resorting to third-grade retention! Do lawmakers bother to read ANY education research on this subject? https://nancyebailey.com/2017/10/09/force-flunk-destroying-a-childs-love-of-reading-and-their-life/

The privatizer types never stop wanting to get their hands on government funding. They pour tons a money into lobbying & marketing. Then they increase their return on investment by shortchanging their students.

Look who's behind the push for "high-dosage, accelerated" tutoring. But students first need qualified teachers and their expertise & understanding. https://nancyebailey.com/2021/03/07/tutors-replacing-teachers-a-failed-privatization-plot-returns/
