• If you really hate the #edreform movement's goals and approaches, then be ready to offer something better. Otherwise, get out of the way. #
  • As Martin Luther King would say, we don't have time to wait for something that every child should get right now. #edreform #
  • And the #edreform movement, in turn, must do more than just offer a compelling vision. This system has been here longer than you have been. #
  • And for a lot of people, familiar is more comfortable than change, tradition better than reform, the status quo better than new #edreform #
  • @budtheteacher No. There are several goals. But that depends, in some sense, on each person. There are several key principles shared in reply to budtheteacher #
  • @budtheteacher There is one movement. There is solidarity of ultimate goal. Solidarity on any tactics/approaches? Nope. in reply to budtheteacher #
  • @budtheteacher And, as with every movement, people disagree on whether there is one silver bullet or several. I say several. Others say one. in reply to budtheteacher #

  • The first state to go into default: Illinois, which has stopped paying bills, has largest #teacherspension deficit http://nyti.ms/cIaNwl #
  • This is the price of fiscal irresponsibility, both in areas such as teacher compensation, as well as in the rest of public sector activity #
  • Essentially, $10 billion will not solve the long-term problems. Reform of public sector and teachers compensation is necessity #edreform #
