- RT @AmSpec: #ChrisChristie in Perspective #edreform #PublicPensions #
- @CohenD Let's start w/some perspective here: Ed spending has increased through most of this decade; even in the recession… in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD most states have held off on cuts, even as spending on Medicaid and other areas also considered priority by taxpayers has declined in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD Based on the initial Obama admin estimates, less than five percent of teachers/school staff would have been laid off. in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD that's far lower than the percentage dislocation of private-sector workers sine 2007. And guess what? Not even those layoff numbers in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD became reality. By the way, this was true before edujobs money or even much of the stimulus funds were spent. in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD now, there is a problem w/layoffs. But it's not what you believe. The real problem starts and end w/reverse seniority/LHFF in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD The entire system of teacher benefits (including seniority protections/reversed seniority layoffs) is quality-blind. in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD High-quality teachers can get lost in the shuffle b/c they lack seniority while low-quality counterparts can keep jobs for which in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD no longer deserve (if they were ever fit in the first place). Here's the reality: Resources are finite, and education is the in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD budget item for state and local governments. The nation spends more than $600 billion on education per year. Based on its size in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD of other priorities taxpayers also consider to be important (Medicaid, for one), the heavy pension deficits being faced and the in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD reality that you can only levy so many taxes w/o draining the economy, ed spending will face some cuts. in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD And given how ineffectively we spend these billions, the cuts force conversations we need to have on #edreform #TQReform. in reply to CohenD #

- RT @elearnnet: #edu #education Give the Gift of Education – RiShawn Biddle – On this week’s Dropout Nation Podcast: #
- @CohenD It's not about liking layoffs, David. It's about those things called economics, finance and fiscal reality. in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD If there isn't enough revenue to finance spending, then you cut spending. That's called being fiscally responsible. in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD Since teachers and staff are most of the cost of education, then they will be the first to be laid off. in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD Again, very few teachers were laid off. In fact, if you were staff, you were more likely to lose a job than a teacher. in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD So let's try to actually look at reality, David, because at this moment, you seem to be willfully ignorant of facts. in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD I'm relaxed fine. But I also think you failed to understand their point: In the long run, the current system of teacher compensation in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD is unsustainable. From pension deficits to Last Hired-First Fired, what we have is a system that is too costly for taxpayers, in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD ineffective in advancing student achievement for kids and economically doesn't work. The stimulus may or may not have been needed in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD depending on where one sits. But it has allowed states to not deal realistically with how they finance education, which anyone can in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD agree is a fact. in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD All sectors have to deal with some level of pain. Usually it involves the staffs. As someone who has seen and went through these in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD periods in the private and nonprofit sectors, I am sympathetic to anyone who gets laid off. Not having a job isn't easy. in reply to CohenD #
- @CohenD I certainly think the Beltway #edreform crowd has its issues. At the same time, when they are right, it must also be acknowledged in reply to CohenD #
