  • Old school outlets are becoming obsolete. And they should be. #
  • We don't see dinosaurs walk the earth. Why would we expect the newspaper of 1890 to remain around n 2020? #
  • This, by the way, also is true for American public education. The advent of charter schools, vouchers, online learning… #
  • isn't the end of education or democracy (both are two distinct entities that exist regardless of the other anyway). It is just… #
  • much-needed #edreform new ways to serve children in an age in which we know so much more about how children learn and what they need #
  • in a modern, more global world. It is time for defenders of traditional public education to stop defending the indefensible. #
  • The status quo was never meant for educating children. It has never worked. It most certainly doesn't work now. It is time for change now. #
