- @tfteacher So I guess your fellow teachers shouldn't get paid either, since they would be gaining a "profit" (a.k.a income) from their work? in reply to tfteacher #
- RT @TheRebull: "A bad teacher is a weapon of mass destruction" Amen! | Washington Examiner #dcps #dc #edreform #charters #
- @tfteacher I want you to really think hard about this. The ability to generate a net income is how your own salary is made. After all… in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher If you don't earn a profit, you don't pay taxes. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher More importantly, it ultimately doesn't matter how education is delivered, but whether every child receives the high quality in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher education they need to write their own story. If it means there are a mix of for-profit, nonprofit and government providers… in reply to tfteacher #
- so be it. It's not the how, but the results that matter. #
- @tfteacher Oh dear sir, if you insist on calling people stupid, then perhaps you don't belong in the arena of debate and ideas… in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher At this point, you haven't offered much of a coherent argument. Just a lot of "I hate corporations" stuff that wouldn't work in reply to tfteacher #
- with anyone. You'd be better off handing John Lennon a text from Chairman Mao. #
- @tfteacher Who says? There is no law that declares that anywhere. Especially about education. Last I checked, there are plenty of … in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher profit-making educational institutions, including Sylvan Learning Centers (which may have done plenty more for improving ed for in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher Last I checked, K-12 is a $528 billion sector, far larger than the entire investment portfolios of Gates and Warren Buffett in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher combined. In fact, the one big issue for #edreform has been that education is so large in annual expenditure that it is in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher difficult to implement #edreform measures. By the way: most of K-12 spending goes not to companies, but into the pockets of in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher your fellow teachers. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher So this talk of big-money backing is merely sophistry for your general opposition to any kind of #edreform You are comfortable in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher with a status quo that results in 1.3 million children dropping out every year into prison and poverty, and millions more in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher inadequately educated. It's just that simple. Now try to offer a coherent argument. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher Thank you for your thoughts. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher Listen to this week's Dropout Nation Podcast (https://dropoutnation.net/fgt), and you'd have a very obvious answer. Try harder. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher Poverty isn't the problem. It has been proven ad nauseum that high-quality teaching and instruction can overcome poverty. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher In fact, an at-risk student taught by three high-quality teachers will make gains on test scores and in learning. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher Also, consider the success of some of our best public, charter and private schools (including KIPP), which work in high-poverty in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher communities. Poverty isn't the problem. It's a system of low expectations for its students, especially its poorest and minority in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher students, that damns these kids to academic failure. It isn't a poverty problem. Try harder. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher KIPP, like all charter schools, takes all comers. So do Catholic dioscesan schools. The creaming theory is false and imaginary., in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher Sorry, sir, but I come from the urban poor. Single mom poor. More importantly, I've done the research. Try harder. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher And based on your mindset, you are part of the problem. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher Again, thanks for your thoughts. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher No one is asking teachers and schools to save the world. Just provide high-quality education. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher And there is no disparagement of great teachers and great schools here. Just those teachers and schools that are in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher failing our children miserably. Oh, and the school boards, principals and others who do the same. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher If you're not part of the latter, then this isn't disparagement. But if you are? You know what to do. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher Thanks for your thoughts. in reply to tfteacher #

- @tfteacher Actually, I'm in the midst of getting work done. In any case, the fact that you talk past my arguments pretty much says it all. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher You've only confirmed a few things — not in any kindly way. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher Refuted. With what? Again, try harder. How about evidence? in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher Speaking of evidence, here's some, courtesy of Kevin Carey: #edreform #TQReform in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher By the way: I would argue that there is wide diversity of views among teachers. There are 4 million of them. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher Again, try harder. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher Actually, there is enough diversity — and I have heard from enough teachers — to know that your view isn't nearly as widely in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher held as you believe. Again. Try harder. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher And, chances are, you have heard from those with whom you agree. Those with whom you disagree usually don't hang out with you. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher This is a reality for all of us. We surround ourselves in our own echo chambers. This is why I engage in dialogue in the outside. in reply to tfteacher #
- @tfteacher But again, thanks for offering, well, something. in reply to tfteacher #
