- @tracyrenee70 it’s a start. Most teachers aren’t prepare at all before they get into classrooms. #TQReform in reply to tracyrenee70 #
- @tracyrenee70 As Martin Haberman points out, most ed schools are geared toward prepping teachers for suburban classrooms. #TQReform in reply to tracyrenee70 #
- @tracyrenee70 And most of our teachers are white females from suburban homes. A disaster for #urbaned #TQReform in reply to tracyrenee70 #

- @TeachMoore Well, it depends on what you mean by “open shop”. Although technically, those states may not allow unions, they do require in reply to TeachMoore #
- @TeachMoore “conferring” with representatives of teachers (i.e. unions) on work rules, etc. State laws in those states often mirror those in reply to TeachMoore #
- @TeachMoore in fully union-dominated (collective bargaining required) states as well. Just because a union doesn’t have collective in reply to TeachMoore #
- @TeachMoore bargaining exclusively at the state level doesn’t mean they don’t wield influence at statehouse, school boards and ed schools in reply to TeachMoore #
- @TeachMoore The NEA and AFT are national unions with locals in every state. That power doesn’t always depend just on state-mandated CB in reply to TeachMoore #
- @TeachMoore Of course, unions aren’t the only reason why American public education is in crisis. There is a mindset of low expectations in reply to TeachMoore #
- @TeachMoore throughout all levels of trad. public ed, especially in ed schools and in many districts themselves. Unions are just one part of in reply to TeachMoore #
- @TeachMoore the problem. And it will take challenging all the other elements in order to continue and sustain reform. in reply to TeachMoore #

- off-edu: RT @TPCarney: Dem leaders, donors to hold Rangel birthday bash at The Plaza >> #
- Blaming a parent for the failures of American public education is like blaming a patient for the malpractice of a doctor #edreform #
- Or like blaming a homeowner for the lapses of the contractor and architect #edreform #
- Consider: 40 percent of all children will require specialized reading instruction–even if their parents read to them from birth #edreform #
- Essentially, even if parents read to their kids from birth, teach them algebra and help them w/homework, great teachers will #edreform #
- still be required, high-quality curricula needed, and high-quality schools will be paramount #edreform #
- That said, parents can use their power to spur #edreform Through #ParentPower all caregivers can find out the deficiencies in #edreform #
- their schools, learn which teachers are of low quality, and foster change. #edreform #
- I will discuss this tomorrow on “The Dropout Nation Podcast: Five Questions Every Parent Should Ask”, at DropoutNation.net #edreform #
- Parents aren’t powerless unless they continue thinking that way. Beltway #edreform activists must help. So must #grassroots activists. #
- But parents–especially in those polluted by dropout factories and failure mills–will need to storm the gates in every small way #edreform #
- Yes RT @BeckyFisher73: @dropoutnation Shouldn’t 100% of kids GET spec. reading instruct.-even if parents read to them from birth? #edreform #
- @BeckyFisher73 They should. But we know almost none get it now. in reply to BeckyFisher73 #
