  • @MicheleBlueston Encourage teachers to actually step up their game, have kids write college-level essays, get ready for real college work. in reply to MicheleBlueston #
  • @MicheleBlueston Of course, that's Joe Nathan's position. I think there's more that has to be done. But it's step is the right direction. in reply to MicheleBlueston #
  • @EDUBEAT Thanks. Also check out: The Dropout Nation Podcast: Five New Questions Every Parent Should Ask in reply to EDUBEAT #
  • As a Vick fan, it's sad. But as a Skins fan, I am pleased that the Eagles will stay home for the rest of the postseason. #
  • @blackposimage Don in reply to blackposimage #
  • @blackposimage Don't worry. It's either the Patriots (fine) or the Ravens (ugh). The NFC is a mess this time. in reply to blackposimage #
  • @MicheleBlueston I would disagree. Parents play a part. But remember, 40% of kids will have reading deficiencies, no matter what parents do in reply to MicheleBlueston #
  • @MicheleBlueston In short, you need strong reading instruction and remediation in the early grades in order for kids to succeed. in reply to MicheleBlueston #
  • @MicheleBlueston Also, let's be clear: In many of our urban schools, the kids attending dropout factories have parents who went to same in reply to MicheleBlueston #
  • @MicheleBlueston dropout factories. The reality is that asking an illiterate parent to somehow magically teach their kids how to read is in reply to MicheleBlueston #

  • As I wrote yesterday, it wouldn't take long for some opponents of #edreform to exploit the Gabrielle Giffords shooting #
  • At least I'll get some page views. #
  • Let's be clear here: There is nothing wrong with calling things as they are. #
  • A dropout factory is a dropout factory. Period. When forty percent of freshmen leave school before graduation, the school is the problem. #
  • If half the kids in a district are failing math or reading, then the district is failing. It runs failure factories and failure mills. #
  • Teachers unions are lobbyists. They are influential players in ed decisions, and one of responsible parties in America's academic failure. #
  • Again, calling things what they are isn't intemperate, but part of the things done in the marketplace of ideas and in advocacy. #
  • RT @BE_PURE: @dropoutnation As long as there are large #s of children failing, total allegiance 2 anyone is illogical. Period. #
