- Charlie Barone proclaims that Monty Neill keeps going down the proverbial "gutter" in comments on #50CANN #edreform #
- Of course, Neill does his "billionaires are ruining education" malarkey, as if a century of terrible ed policies aren't the underlying cause #
- Honestly, I'm more than happy to host a Barone versus Neill smackdown match at DropoutNation.net. Just saying. #
- In any case, the class warfare trash tossed around by Neill, @DianeRavitch et al is just one sign of their intellectual bankruptcy #edreform #

- @rpondiscio @arotherham If you can't actually hold someone's feet to the fire in any effective way, then feedback is useless. in reply to rpondiscio #
- @rpondiscio @arotherham If no objective data is used in providing feedback, especially in a culture of distrust, feedback won't happen in reply to rpondiscio #
- @BeSkwared Because poverty isn't the problem. Poverty isn't causation of educational failure; it is an aspect of the conditions in in reply to BeSkwared #
- @BeSkwared which education happens. But correlation isn't causation. The real problem is low-quality instruction, curricula and expectations in reply to BeSkwared #

- @BeSkwared address the systemic issues. And by the way, poor kids aren't the only ones who are subjected to these same problems. in reply to BeSkwared #
- @BeSkwared So, yes, Ravitch and Neill are intellectually bankrupt. in reply to BeSkwared #
- @BeSkwared Try harder. in reply to BeSkwared #
- @BeSkwared The issue isn't understanding poverty. Is the myth that poverty is at the root of educational ills that is the problem. in reply to BeSkwared #
- @BeSkwared Again, far too many in the status quo want to argue that poverty is the problem when there are trad. public schools, Catholic in reply to BeSkwared #
- @BeSkwared schools and high quality charters such as KIPP that are improving student achievement among poor kids. It's poverty as the excuse in reply to BeSkwared #
- @BeSkwared And yes, that is an intellectually and, I dare say, morally bankrupt perspective. in reply to BeSkwared #
- @BeSkwared The essential argument is that they can't improve student achievement until every economic ill is fixed or that more money in reply to BeSkwared #
- @BeSkwared is poured into education. Yet the nation spends $600 billion a year on K-12, and education spending has increased every year for in reply to BeSkwared #
- @BeSkwared five decades. At some point, poverty isn't the problem. And money isn't the problem. It is a systemic problem in how we in reply to BeSkwared #

- @BeSkwared expectations among all players in education, including teachers and principals. in reply to BeSkwared #
- @BeSkwared In short, you can continue to use poverty as an excuse. Or simply regard poverty as a factor. in reply to BeSkwared #
