The Education Department has been repurposed to destabilize public education so they can privatize much of it.

The harm inflicted on children in the process is just another casualty of the Project 2025 education agenda.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

Let's redefine what keeps us safe.
Funding national security should mean funding housing, food, healthcare, clean air and water for all.

It’s unfortunate that the general aging population doesn’t get as much interaction with curious, hardworking young people as college professors do. They really will give you hope about the future on a daily basis 🤔

this is the succinct definition of enshittification in the article.

this process is why i am so deeply wary of much ed tech -- this process would be absolutely toxic in education, and there are no guardrails to ensure it wouldn't happen #EduSKy
a screenshot of the article with the text:

"Here's the quick version. 

First, a platform is good to its users. That may look like Facebook connecting you to all of your friends, or Amazon providing a giant, reliable marketplace for goods. Then when enough people have joined a platform that there aren't any alternatives, the platforms start exploiting their own users to entice businesses. That may look like Facebook providing personal data about its customers to advertizers, or Google prioritizing paid ads over organic search. Then when those business customers are also stuck on one dominant platform, the platform puts the screws to them, too: Ad rates skyrocketing on Facebook amid reports of ad fraud, or Amazon sellers having to pay Amazon to be featured on Prime, just to appear high up in search results."

"I regularly share aspects of my practice on social media as a way of modeling intentional, culturally responsive literacy teaching."

I can say for myself that I learn from you all the time, and it is delightful.

Universities considering capitulating to the Trump “conditions” should use this real world example to understand they will simply be destroying their own institution. bsky.app/profile/nich...

Chris Rufo's disastrous takeover of New College in Florida shows what universities would become if they sign the Trump regime's extortionary "compact."

New College was supposed to model the anti-woke conservative higher-ed Americans crave. Instead, it showed the opposite, and serves as a warning.

If you want to understand why Zohran Mamdani is talking about phasing out NYC's gifted & talented program for kindergarteners, latest episode of Have You Heard is a great place to start. Hint: inequality in school translates to inequality in the world soundcloud.com/haveyouheard...
#205 Schools as Sorting Machines
Forget all that talk about education as the great equalizer. Public schools and inequality are joined at the hip. But must it be that way? We talk to the authors of a recent book called Schooled and S
