David Coleman Messes Up Again


I have spent entirely much time over the past few years reading about David Coleman, the magical and super-powered wizard who manufactured the Common Core and convinced Bill Gates to become the Core's greatest patron. Coleman needed to set the Core up with a foster parent because as soon as the little tyke's wings had begun to spread, Coleman was out the door to his next gig-- a well-paying gig running the College Board and remaking the infamous SAT test.

And now Renee Dudley at Reuters brings us a detailed account of how badly Coleman screwed up that job.



None of what Dudley reports will come as a surprise to long-time Coleman watchers. The Core architect has several key characteristics that shine through.

First and foremost, Coleman is soaked in hubris. It's not just that he somehow came to believe that he should personally redefine what it means to be an educated person in this country. When you read him in interview after interview, you notice that he never gives credit to anyone. No "I depended heavily on the work of Scholar McWisdom" or "I certainly didn't do this alone. The help of Worky McColleague was invaluable." Interviewers address him as if he wrote the whole damn thing single-handedly, and he doesn't correct them. Coleman believes that he can fix the American education system, K-16, all by himself and eradicate social injustice in the process. He believes he is CURMUDGUCATION: David Coleman Messes Up Again:

Sent: Friday, December 09, 2016 11:01 PM
To: AllField; AllHQ
Subject: Women’s March on Washington
Importance: High
Dear Colleagues,
IEA is looking into booking two buses to transport members, IEA staff, friends and family to Washington, DC for the Women’s March on Washington set for Saturday January 21, 2017. This is an opportunity for those who are interested. One bus would leave from Lombard on Friday, January 20, 2017 and the other would leave from Springfield (PDC) at 6:30 PM. We need to gauge your interest in “getting on the bus” for this event. The cost per seat is $150. If there, is sufficient interest, we will book the buses. Use the “yes/no” buttons or reply (please do NOT hit “Reply All”) to this email to show interest. Please respond on or before Thursday, December 15, 2016.
Here are the details of the plan as we know them at the moment:
Departures and Arrivals for both buses
OUTBOUND TRIPS DEPART: Friday, January 20, 2017 6:30 PM
OUTBOUND TRIPS ARRIVE: Saturday, January 21, 10:00 AM
ARRIVES AT: Union Station, DC
RETURN TRIPS DEPART: Saturday, January 21, 6:30 PM*
*BUSES DEPART 45 MINUTES AFTER EVENT ENDS or 6:30 PM, whichever is earlier
BUSES DEPART FROM: Union Station, Washington, DC
RETURN TRIPS ARRIVE LOMBARD OR SPRINGFIELD: Sunday, January 22, 10:00 AM
CAPACITY: 53 seats
COST PER SEAT: $150
For each bus we would need:
COORDINATOR: To coordinate with bus company, bus captains, and Women’s March on Washington organizers
BUS CAPTAINS: We need a Captain for each bus. The Captain would be responsible for taking tickets from riders, maintaining a list of riders, and making sure that all riders are accounted for.
Other information for bus riders:
WE WILL SLEEP ON THE BUS. No hotel rooms.
WHAT TO BRING ON THE BUS: You can bring bags and small coolers on the bus with food, drinks and snacks, no glass bottles and food that isn’t “drippy” (no ice cream, etc.). We suggest a small backpack for the march with food and water. Food vendors may be overwhelmed in Washington, DC so it is best to be prepared with your own food. Bring a pillow and blanket if you wish. There is a space under the bus for larger items. Your stuff will be locked up on the bus while it is parked, but take purses and valuables just in case.
WHAT TO WEAR: Layers are recommended. January is usually cold and sometimes snowy in DC. Gloves, mittens, hats, ear muffs, scarves, long undies, whatever will keep you warm, dry and comfortable.Illinois Education Association is organizing buses to the Women’s March in Washington.

Show me the data! Government restrictions hamper attempts to see how NOLA kids really fare

re are some key recent findings about the youth of New Orleans during the last year: Their numbers are up five percent from 2014 to 2015 — but the number of black children living in the city during the same period dropped.
More are graduating from high school, but the average price of college is higher for low-income students. While the city’s youth poverty rate dropped six percentage points to 37 percent from 2014 to 2015, it still surpasses the state and national rates of 28 percent and 20 percent respectively.
These findings come from the Data Center’s newly released New Orleans Youth Index 2016, of which I am the lead author. The report provides a statistical snapshot of New Orleans children and youth. Borne out of the efforts of youth-centered service providers, the Index publishes baseline tools using data that help advocates develop strategies for improving academic, social, and behavioral outcomes of children and youth up to age 24.
But there’s a problem: Basic data that might inform ways of solving pressing education problems weren’t included in the final document because the state did not make the data available.
And when government agencies don’t make data widely accessible – as in the case of Louisiana – research organizations, educators and parents don’t have information they need to help and inform the public.
“We spent months trying to get basic aggregated demographic data from the Louisiana Department of Education and we were met with long delays or unjustifiable denials,” said Allison Plyer, executive Show me the data!

Why so many teachers need a second job to make ends meet - The Washington Post

Why so many teachers need a second job to make ends meet - The Washington Post:

Why so many teachers need a second job to make ends meet


Teachers have it easy, right? They get summers off, go home in the middle of the afternoon when students leave campus, and are paid well. Actually, for most teachers, those are all myths, especially the last one.
Many teachers are paid so poorly, in fact, that they have to take second jobs to pay their bills. A study released earlier this year found that in 2015, the weekly wages of public school teachers in the United States were 17 percent lower than comparable college-educated professionals — and those most hurt were veteran teachers and male teachers.
[Think teachers aren’t paid enough? It’s worse than you think.]
This is a post about what teachers face when it comes to making an adequate living. It was written by Nínive Calegari, a former classroom teacher who is the founder of  The Teacher Salary Project, a nonpartisan organization whose mission is to raise awareness about the effects on the country of underpaying and under-valuing teachers. She is also co-founder of 826 Valencia/National, a nonprofit organization that provides support to seven writing and tutoring centers around the country.
Calegari recently co-authored a brief entitled “Improving Teacher Pay to Ensure Good Teachers For All Students” with Ellen Sherratt and Hannah Kraus. She is the co-author (along with Daniel Moulthrop and Dave Eggers) of “Teachers Have it Easy,” and she is the co-producer (along with Dave Eggers, Vanessa Roth, and Brian McGinn) of the film “American Teacher.”

U.S. Officially Trapped in High School | the becoming radical:

U.S. Officially Trapped in High School

Image result for Trapped in High School


Electing Donald Trump verifies that the U.S. is officially trapped in high school.
The bravado and superficial qualities that made people popular in high school—but for most of us wore thin by early adulthood—are all that Trump has, but it earned him the White House because enough people in the U.S. suffer from arrested development, permanent adolescence.
As a nerdy, self-conscious, and insecure teen, I knew this process well. My brief stinks into the popular came from my bold profanities (stolen mostly from George Carlin and Richard Pryor) and beer guzzling at rates that outdid my friends.
All that cool was idiotic, embarrassing—and effective among my high school peers.
By the time most of us are well into our 20s, that “cool” becomes “adolescent”—in other words, a way of being we put well behind us.
Like my first-year writing students, you may think from the above comments that I dislike adolescence, but that isn’t true.
I loved teaching high school because I love adolescents; however, my affection for teens is that it is a phase, a transition from childhood to adulthood.
Teens live and view the world in a sort of constant hyperbole that is infectious—as long as it eventually evolves into a somewhat tempered joy grounded in reality. Too often, we swing from the wild idealism of youth to the fatalistic cynicism of adulthood without finding a healthy balance.
But the U.S., alas, is stuck in adolescence; we think the biggest and most hollow jerk in the country is cool.
Among the pundits, this adolescent thinking is being framed as post-truth, and it isn’t anything new as evidenced by the ways in which my first-year students write; for example, consider these passages:
Racism is a trending topic in America today. The topic makes many people uncomfortable, so it is not so much spoke about. Racism exists in numerous different type of environments in numerous places. Although there are many different places racism exists, the place that I believe racism should be eliminated the most is the business environment.
Growing up in today’s culture promotes a fascination with being skinny. Today there may be body positive movements and love yourself movements, but back the late 90’s early 2000’s, we, the people of my generation, learned that skinny was beautiful.
American history is filled with examples of pain and suffering as a result of drug usage. Arguments regarding the legalization of habit-forming substances are not new.

What The Hillsdale College Connection Reveals About Donald Trump’s Extremist Education Agenda

What The Hillsdale College Connection Reveals About Donald Trump’s Extremist Education Agenda:

What The Hillsdale College Connection Reveals About Donald Trump’s Extremist Education Agenda


Donald Trump’s election to the US Presidency left education policy experts at a complete loss to explain what this would mean for the nation’s schools. During his campaign, Trump had given few clues about what would inform his education leadership, only that he had some antipathy for the US Department of Education, that he was no fan of Common Core, and that he would advocate for more “school choice.”
After his election, experienced education journalists at Education Week predicted Trump would embrace conservative Beltway think tanks and state education policy leaders who had bristled under the rule of Obama’s education department, and he would reject the influence of teachers unions, civil rights groups, and politically centrist education “reform” groups.
Many who pointed out “personnel is policy,” speculated Trump would pick an Education Secretary from the ranks of his transition advisers who came mostly from the above mentioned DC-based circles and state government centers. Other knowledgeable sources predicted Trump might draw education policy knowhow from “outsider” sources, such as the military, big business, or the charter school industry.
No one – not a single source I can find – anticipated Trump would look for education expertise in the deep, dark well he repeatedly seems to draw from – the extremist, rightwing evangelical community.
The DeVos Nomination
The first clue that Trump would embed the extremist views of radical Christian orthodoxy in the White House’s education policy apparatus was his nomination of Betsy DeVos to be the nation’s next Secretary of Education.
As Politico reports, DeVos is a “billionaire philanthropist” who “once compared her work in education reform to a biblical battleground where she wants to ‘advance God’s Kingdom.'”
Politico reporters point to numerous recordings and interviews in which Betsy DeVos and her husband Dick, a billionaire heir to the Amway fortune, promote education policies as avenues to “greater Kingdom gain … lament that public schools have ‘displaced’ the Church as the center of communities, and refer to their efforts to advance private, religious schools as a “‘Shephelah,’ an area where battles – including between David and Goliath – were fought in the Old Testament.

Alert: @NAACP Holding Charter School Hearings Across Nation




The NAACP’s most recent national resolution on charter schools has elicited a vigorous discourse about charter schools in the United States. The nation’s largest and oldest civil right organization is also a democratic, community-based organization. The National Board of the NAACP after its vote to support a charter moratorium (See Breaking News: Charter Resolution Ratified by @NAACP National Board) announced the National Task Force for Quality Education on October 15. This new group is charged with studying education quality, “until safeguards are in place to provide better transparency regarding accountability, and to prevent cases of fraud and mismanagement.”
The task force will be taking input from advocates, teachers, parents, and policy experts across the nation. The task force will focus primarily on issues surrounding “inadequate school funding, charter school accountability and its impact on school funding for under-funded districts.”
Alice Huffman is the chairman of the task force and president of the California NAACP State Conference. This task force also includes Hazel Dukes, Michael Curry, Gloria Sweet-Love, Derrick Johnson, Scot Esdaile, Da’Quan Love, Robin Williams, Peter Rose, Adora Obi Nweze, James Gallman and Philip Murphy. Ms. Huffman stated,
[New Haven is the] first of several hearings around the nation taking a deep look at the issues facing public schools, as well as the pros and cons of charter schools… By bringing people from our community together from both sides, we can bridge the gap in the issue of accountability between public schools and charters.
The task force hosted the first of seven public hearings about issues involving public education and charter school oversight in New Haven, CT.  The event was located to draw individuals from the Tri-state area and throughout New England. It was the first public session for the task force of National NAACP officials charged with studying and recommending education policy. Key participants included:
  • James Comer, Yale University
  • Steve Perry, Capital Preparatory Magnet School
  • Edward Joyner, New Haven Board of Education
  • Jeremiah Grace, Director, North East Charter School Network
  • Gary Highsmith, HR Director, Hamden Board of Education
  • Tenicka Boyd of Students First NY
The New Haven hearing lasted for about 4 hours. So it requires some patience to make it all the way to the end.


(In some cases, you might want to throw tomatoes at presenters. That’s not possible on a YouTube video.)



here will be future hearings across the United States. Task force members will invite policy experts to present at the hearing in 15 minute segments. Members of the public can also sign up to speak. Visitors seeking to speak are asked to register one hour before the session begins. To accommodate the public, individual speakers may be asked to adhere to a time limit or appoint a representative to speak on behalf of a group.
The current hearings are:
Memphis, TN January 7 or 10, 2017
Orlando, FL January 27, 2017
Los Angeles, CA February 9, 2017
Detroit, MI TBD
New Orleans, LA TBD
This is the opportunity for members of communities of color to have voice about their experiences in charter schools and provide input for the reform of a reform to provide more transparency and accountability to ensure the civil rights of students are not being violated in charter schools.
