• RT @HuffPostDenver: Alan Gottlieb explains why "public education remains stuck in the muck and mire." http://huff.to/9Eye69 #edreform #
• The problem w/Gottlieb's argument: failure to realize that sometimes the lines of opinion harden because there is genuine disagreement. #
• Certainly we may all agree w/improving the lives of children. But for defenders of the status quo, the question is: At what cost? #edreform #
• #NEA #AFT aren't interested in giving up traditional compensation because it benefits at least 36 percent of their membership… #edreform #
• Suburban school districts aren't interested in losing image of prestige, enrollment loss via #schoolchoice consequences of accountability #
• #edreform activists aren't welded to the traditional system; they don't have the consequence of losing benefits the status quo bestows #
• Keep this in mind when defenders of the status quo argue that #edreform activists are motivated by financial/political gain. Think about it. #
• At the end, we could at least agree that American public education, as operating today, doesn't work for all kids, actually for most of them #

• Hate to break it to people, but there is nothing wrong with people using money to advocate for their positions, no matter who they are… #
• or what their political positions may be. Last I checked, our First Amendment gives us the right to use our money for these purpose… #
• Attempting to demonize a position because of how advocacy for the positions are financed merely seems rather weak. Try a better argument. #
