“In effect, policies that use standardized test results to evaluate, reward, and sanction students and school personnel are doing nothing more than rewarding schools that serve advantaged students and punishing schools that serve disadvantaged students.” #nced #ncpol

What Do Test Scores Measure? How I Lost My Faith in Their Value

For many years, I was a staunch advocate of standardized testing. But I lost my enthusiasm for standardized testing after spending seven years on the governing board of NAEP (the National Assessmen…

It’s even worse if you go back a decade to 2013. A teacher at the top of the scale was paid $53,180 plus $2393 in longevity pay, for a total of $55,573, which means teachers at the top of the scale are paid $473 less in the new budget than they were paid in 2013

Let’s put this in real perspective. A teacher in 2008 at the top of the scale was paid $52,550 by the state and $2,365 in longevity pay, for a total of $54,915. A teacher at the top of the scale in this new budget will be paid $55,100–an increase $185 over the past 15 years.

Here’s the school privatizer playbook: —> Frame schools that struggle with poverty and the effects of institutional racism as failing —> Divert their funding to charters and private schools —> Document the results as additional “evidence” of failure —> Repeat #nced

Spending $1,000,000/year to market the voucher program is yet another sign that legislative leaders are actively working against public schools. That $$ should be spent improving public education for all students. #nced

1/ We could also say, "it's interesting that some therapists view their patients as clients" The etiology of the word "patient" is one who is suffering The "client" metaphor is a mercantile & transactional metaphor I couldn't care less what word someone else uses so long as

A reminder: the vast majority of North Carolina voters oppose subsidizing private religious school tuition with their taxpayer dollars. The school defunders behind the new voucher scheme haven't been honest about what they're trying to do. carolinaforward.org/blog/war… #ncpol

The only thing in the budget that Lt. Gov Mark Robinson doesn’t like is the part where more than half a million North Carolinians gain access to health care at almost no expense to the state. And he wants to be your next governor. 👎 #ncpol

The Lt. Gov. *yesterday* ⤵️ > “The only thing in the budget that I’m still a little dismayed with that we’ve passed is Medicaid expansion." > “I’m still not in favor of that.” > “I don’t like the fact that we have it, I don’t like the fact that it’s here.” #ncpol #ncgov

Congressman ⁦@wileynickel⁩ harshly criticizes Republican leaders who push for book bans but reject any efforts to limit gun violence. “Dead kids can’t read,” he said.

GOP demand for passage of their backroom casino deal in exchange for a state budget and Medicaid expansion is the most brutally dishonest legislative scheme I’ve seen in my 3+ decades. People are right to be suspicious. Something has a grip on Republican leaders and it’s not the people of NC. - RC

Holy cow. UNC-Chapel Hill students are in the state legislature right now chanting, “VOTE THEM OUT.” Republicans then mock these students, instead of listening to them. They are messing with the wrong generation. Gen Z will make these Republicans find out.

1/ The brief treatments you think are "scientifically proven by RCTs" fail most patients Eg, 7 out of 10 pts who get "evidence-based" treatment for depression don't improve or relapse quickly This has been consistent across 40 yrs of RCTs Your comment is either extraordinarily

“People have said, “Don’t cry” to other people for years and years, and all it has ever meant is “I’m too uncomfortable when you show your feelings: Don’t cry.” I’d rather have them say, “Go ahead and cry. I’m here to be with you.”
