Do these people look like educators in a school or business execs in an office? #CharterSchoolFail

Liberty Christian School in Durham, NC got almost a million $ in voucher funding this year.

Liberty's primary educational objective is 'to bring each student to a saving knowledge and relationship with Jesus Christ.'

They should not be getting taxpayer funding.

The over-hyping of the 'stem crisis' and 'skills gap' in American education seems endless. #PairedTexts

Tricia Cotham Rep. John Bell Tim Moore Watch for a cushy gig lobbying for the charter school industry to magically materialize for Tricia Cotham soon after losing her race. The wheels are already turning. This is how they work.

This from a conservative Christian working in the Oklahoma state department of education who thought that Republican leadership would focus on improving public schools. bit.ly/3UjbmSk

Another example of using the Community School model to increase success. Administrators across the country are turning to this creative, innovative, and effective idea instead of shuttering schools. @PPSNews - pay attention.

Roswell, New Mexico’s University High School was one of the lowest performing schools in the state—then it switched to the community schools approach. Jeff Bryant #education #schools

As someone who lives virtually across the street from #UNC and has to drive/walk by and through campus in order to leave my neighborhood, I'm disturbed about this. (Also, fail to see in any way how this would have prevented a campus shooting.) bit.ly/4b92swj

This you?

The 'school turnaround' has gotten a bad rep (thanks Arne Duncan) but my new looks at how the community schools approach is helping a struggling high school in Roswell NM address factors that are holding it back. bit.ly/4aUkO41

Wondering how charter school operators can convince state officials there's a strong demand for their schools when they don't even know where their schools are going to be located and when they'll be open. #CharterSchoolFail

How to play the school privatization game:
1) Create a voucher program that limits eligibility to mostly low-income Black and brown families who 'deserve choice'
2) Expand the program to white wealthy folks because they 'deserve education freedom'

Often not discussed in charter school world is the wisdom of allowing $billions in federal, state and local funds to be overseen by volunteer board members who have little to no training and zero democratic accountability to taxpayers bit.ly/49uuXD2 #CharterSchoolFail

In today’s (April 6) e-version of The TENNESSEAN (no print edition on Saturdays), writers from FL and AZ explain how vouchers are undermining public schools in their states and urge TN not to be smitten, too.

Should schools be run like businesses that open and close based on market conditions or provided as essential infrastructure like parks, libraries and police and fire protection? Thanks to Network4PublicEd Reclaim Our Schools United Teachers Los Angeles and others. bit.ly/3TYqHaz

the 'Educators are only there to implement something the 'actual smart people' say' paradigm of educational policy and discourse in this country is beyond the pale

Funny that NYT article mentions Communities In Schools but didn’t bother to interview its CEO Rey Saldaña Rey A. Saldaña who would have told them that community schools help with chronic absenteeism.

Why is it that when The New York Times and other media outlets report about absenteeism and other school-related problems reporters portray educators as relatively clueless when really there are educators who know what to do if only policy leaders would listen bit.ly/3I3D7rd
