Tom Dunn said: As a former school superintendent. I felt perpetually conflicted about being forced to implement mandates that were, frankly, bad for kids. The irony is how often the very politicians who denounce bullying use their power to beat adults into submission with their ill-conceived laws. In education, they do this through threats of financial penalty against districts that dare disobey them, by threatening the professional licensure of educators who don’t do as they are told, and/or th

Most English teachers love to read and share the literature that has touched them over the years. They want their students to value and love reading, too. But sometimes the books adults love aren’t the stories that resonate with young people, for all kinds of reasons. As U.S. classrooms become more racially and culturally diverse, many students don’t see themselves reflected in the literature their teachers hold up as worthy of study.

“Do you…want to form an alliance…with me? “ It was January 3, 2010, that I first created a blog post of this title.

Many Democratic candidates for U.S. president have used public charter schools as a punching bag over the past several months. U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders , in particular, have called for ending federal funding for new public charter schools. Warren even went so far as to say that parents should “do more” if they’re not satisfied with their kids’ traditional public schools, rather than exercise their right to choose the best schools for their kids. “[I]t pains me to k
