- D.C. mayoral candidate Vincent Gray could have said that dismissal of 241 laggard teachers by #MichelleRhee was sensible. #edreform #DCPS #
- After all, Gray says he wants to eliminate poor-performing teachers from #DCPS schools, from ruining the education of more kids #edreform #
- But he didn’t say that. He hedged. He had to “look further”. Well, that tells you that he talks out both sides of his mouth #DCPS #edreform #
- Enough said. Unfortunately for DC residents, their choice is between #Fenty (marginally effective in everything, but stellar in #edreform #
- or Gray (untested in everything, too captured by the status quo fueling his campaign to take really strong #edreform positions). #
- Yeah. That bad #edreform #
- Could we name #MichelleRhee mayor, please? Or better yet, #JoelKlein #
- And not just in D.C.; Alexandria and Arlington could use either of them as well. #

- @EdReformPR Your come and snark has got up and left. Integration isn’t nearly as important as improving teaching, curricula in every school in reply to EdReformPR #
- @EdReformPR We’ve done the integration game. It hasn’t worked. Poor black neighborhoods still never got high-quality schools. #edreform in reply to EdReformPR #
- @EdReformPR If you are a parent in these neighborhoods, concerns about integration mean nothing if your kid isn’t getting high quality ed in reply to EdReformPR #

- @EdReformPR Sorry, but I’m for the kids and the parents. It’s just that simple. When the #NAACP finally gets it together, maybe we can talk. in reply to EdReformPR #
- @EdReformPR Otherwise the groups are irrelevant to my concerns and those of the parents standing athwart the status quo yelling “no”. in reply to EdReformPR #
- @EdReformPR Thanks for trying to offer some thoughts, whatever they may be. in reply to EdReformPR #
- RT @tvanderark @dropoutnation we’d also be lot smarter about what motivates persistence, improves retention, enhances application #edreform #
- @tvanderark Exactly. Right now, it is the very lack of data that makes it difficult to fully restructure American public ed #edreform in reply to tvanderark #
