- @avalonsensei Who says they are the most-motivated students? More importantly, how can you prove it? Let's be real. You can't? in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei In fact, your statement speaks to the biggest problem among defenders of traditional public ed: Low expectations #edreform in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei If a student flailing in a trad. public ed setting does well in a charter school, then he must be "most motivated". #edreform in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei It can't be that, perhaps, perhaps, a child and parent, finally given the opportunity to choose, decided to flee… #edreform in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei The worst trad. public ed offers. Or that the charter school was the last, best hope available for this kid… #edreform in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei Or because a charter may radically depart from ability tracking, low expectations, that the child feels cared for… #edreform in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei And given high quality instruction, caring, highly qualified teachers, and a culture of high expectations… #edreform in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei that a child may naturally rise to the challenge. Sorry, but when I here somebody say a charter, or a magnet or … #edreform in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei a private school only attracts the "most-motivated" or even "the motivated", it's insult to every child and family.. #edreform in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei because most people care about their children. But not every one knows how to improve the quality of ed for them. #edreform in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei Let's quote John Taylor Gatto one more time… #edreform in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei "We need 2 start from the cold-blooded premise that almost everyone is a genius." This includes our kids. #edreform in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei Again, charters are "an answer", not the answer. PEd is too problem-ridden for them to be fixed by a silver bullet #edreform in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei Several solutions will be needed. Charter schools, at their best, are one of those answers, as is #SchoolChoice #edreform in reply to avalonsensei #
- @avalonsensei Thanks for your thoughts. in reply to avalonsensei #

- @Rodney_Trice Actually, the results are more complicated than piece suggests. Time offered much better report #BlackEd in reply to Rodney_Trice #
- @Rodney_Trice The Dallas study Fryer did shows that if you pay kids to read, they will actually read more. #BlackEd in reply to Rodney_Trice #
- @Rodney_Trice In Chicago, the results did show that if you paid kids to improve grades, the grades will improve #BlackEd in reply to Rodney_Trice #
- @Rodney_Trice But the test scores didn't improve (test scores did improve in the Dallas study). #BlackEd in reply to Rodney_Trice #
- @Rodney_Trice The point is that money isn't the only motivator. But to exclude money from being used as an incentive is foolhardy #BlackEd in reply to Rodney_Trice #
- @Rodney_Trice We must provide as many incentives for all kids to improve their grades. We must also improve teacher quality… #BlackEd in reply to Rodney_Trice #
- @Rodney_Trice curricula and the administration of the schools our children attend. #BlackEd in reply to Rodney_Trice #
- Oh, and in the DC experiment Fryer ran, incentives (including money) helped motivate black males to improve #BlackEd #

- @avalonsensei advocates. Many school reformers did fairly well in school. And most attended public schools. in reply to avalonsensei #
