NFL claims their choices for entertainment is non-political in nature. Green Day and Bad Bunny says otherwise.

Is it me or is travel getting worse? Reno Tahoe used to be easy. Now no parking, constant delays. This morning we have to de-ice, but there are no de-icing trucks. My last 3 flights on American Airlines, I’m yet to make a connection. Ugh! Ridiculous.

bravEd just posted a paper on standardized testing that I hope will become a must read: What standardized is and all the things it is not. You can find it in the Announcements on our home page. brave-ed.com

How you account for your work matters as much as the work itself. It’s the key to building trust—and in education, trust is essential.

The argument that vouchers benefit students in poverty is inaccurate. Keep public funds for public education.

Most families who get private school vouchers are affluent and previously paid for private school tuition on their own without a taxpayer-funded voucher. Learn more: tinyurl.com/3djv8kd3 #SchoolChoiceWeek

Rural schools face the same crises in learning loss and mental health as the rest of the nation, but have fewer resources to respond to them, a recent report from the National Rural Education Association found. Here are some highlights from the report. edweek.org/leadership/the-st…

The State of Rural Schools, in Charts: Funding, Graduation Rates, Performance, and More

Rural schools receive less funding on average from states, but they still deal with the mental health and academic crises facing all schools.

Why I will never support vouchers: 1. They solve zero problems. 2. They undermine public schooling, and 3. Absent a vibrant public educational system our democracy is in trouble. But then, I think that’s the point. Please play the long game on this—it’s important.

Hey voucher fans. Let’s say I’m a member of a country club. But my city funds a public pool I don’t use. Can I please have a voucher that will help pay my dues? And to make it “fair,” give it to anyone who asks. If they can make up the difference they can “choose” the club too.
