For example, Cleveland's Catholic schools barely beat the Ohio average for 3rd grade, foundational reading.
Yet Steubenville public schools completely tromp far wealthier schools across the state.

Well, at least Charles Fadel calls out those vapid POG’s.
So, we got that. 😐

I love Nate. And. This sort of smugness in my D friends here and abroad is just incredibly grating.
No. Being a leftist does not make you a more caring person.
We disagree on causes and solutions.
You are not, by a long, long, long shot on the more caring side of the fence.

You can run as anything you want.
But every president—Roosevelt, Johnson, Kennedy, Bush, Clinton, Obama… they all learned real fast that you have to do the statesman thing.
And, if you lead the world’s superpower, nations want to attack you.

1. Ted Cruz has now joined JD Vance and Ron DeSantis in forcefully criticizing the Iran war and refocusing our attention on the economic circumstances of working class Americans.
2. That’s basically the entire field of Republican candidates for President.
3. And guess what? Anyone else who wants a real shot at being the Republican nominee is going to have to adopt pretty much the same approach.
4. This dynamic has been clearly visible since April, when the Trump administration tacked toward peace talks with Iran in an attempt to save the elections.
5. That was seven months ago. For seven months, we’ve been watching the administration struggling to extract itself from the trap of an ongoing war that the voters didn’t want.
6. The attempt failed—and the voters went to the ballot box on November 3 feeling disgusted, alienated, and betrayed by the Republican Party.
7. Maybe the scale of the voters’ repudiation of the GOP is surprising. But the dynamic that brought about this result is *exactly* the same one that we’ve been watching and talking about for seven months.
8. Maybe you didn’t know that a bitter and alienated public was what the administration was dealing with? Maybe you didn’t know that this was why these hopeless talks with the Iranians were taking place?
9. But if you didn’t know this was the main thing happening in U.S. electoral politics heading into the midterms, it seems like you should be asking yourself: *Why* didn’t I know? How did it happen that I was so completely cut off from political reality in America?
10. And if you’re in an especially introspective mood, you might also ask yourself: How did I behave when people tried to tell me what was happening? Did I try to understand what they were seeing? Or did I just attack anyone who was trying to explain reality to me?

Today's Sold a Story covers Theory of Instruction. Lots of "experts" not knowing the minimum about DI: not just published programs, but a scientific approach to instructional design.

I live in Ohio. I'm online constantly. I'm listening to radio much of the day. I watched/heard like 150 baseball games; with ads every 10 minutes.
Who is our new Lieutenant Governor?
Seriously. I do not know one single fact about him, other than he seems to be male and a per or something.
This is the electoral process in 2026.

Fascinating education news from the Indianapolis election
Tonight’s passage of the operating referendum is a historic win for kids in Indy. This marks the first time in IPS history that a referendum will be shared pro-rata with charter students.
And it passed with a larger share than the 2023 referendum. Charters are good politics too!

This seems fair.
Honestly the party leaders of the @ohiogop must resign after this.
Had Dave Yost or Jim Tressel ran, either would've won

Many people are cheering tonight.
They forget:
JFK would be dubbed ‘radical right wing’ by many of the winners and supporters.

Me (to my 23-year-old son): I just don’t know how we’ve gotten to a place where socialists are being elected to office.
Son: it’s because school is a joke.
Makes me wonder if his generation will approach the education of their children differently.

Too bad he couldn’t say what he really thought. 🙂
#POLOGNE: Lors du conseil de sécurité🇵🇱 de ce jour, le Président polonais Nawrocki a fait la leçon a son 1er ministre Tusk qui ne sait plus où se mettre:
"Les actions du gouvernement de vendredi dernier, menées par Monsieur le Premier ministre Donald Tusk, font que nous nous dans des circonstances inédites. Nous sommes face à une crise constitutionnelle majeure sur laquelle nous ne pouvons pas fermer les yeux.
Par une décision purement politique, le gouvernement a tenté de s'emparer illégalement du Tribunal constitutionnel. On a tenté de le faire en profitant de mon absence du territoire national. Le gouvernement a délibérément choisi la nuit précédant un jour si sacré pour les Polonais, la Toussaint, pour introduire de force au Tribunal des personnes qui se prétendent juges mais qui, au regard du droit, ne le sont pas.
Ces personnes, sous escorte politique, s'octroient le droit de suspendre des magistrats et de s'approprier leurs fonctions sans aucune base légale. Cette position est partagée et confirmée par le premier président de la Cour suprême, le président de la Cour administrative suprême et le président du Conseil national du Barreau.
Et ce qui est le plus grave, c'est d'avoir instrumentalisé les fonctionnaires de la Police et du Service de protection de l'État pour accomplir ce scénario politique. Les policiers savent pertinemment qu'ils ont été utilisés à des fins partisanes, ce qui est profondément inquiétant.
On ne peut cependant pas s'abstenir de désigner le responsable de toute cette situation. La pleine responsabilité pour chaque policier déployé sous le Tribunal, pour toutes les actions illégales, est portée par un seul homme. Un homme qui est présent dans cette salle, vers qui je me tourne, bien que je ne comprenne pas ses actions : c'est-à-dire Monsieur le Premier ministre, Donald Tusk.
Dans votre cas, Monsieur le Premier ministre, c'est selon moi non seulement un crime contre la Constitution de la République, mais c'est quelque chose de plus : c'est une erreur. Le Premier ministre sait déjà qu'il a commis une erreur, et nous savons tous les deux aujourd'hui que vos anciens alliés ne sont plus à vos côtés, et qu'il ne vous reste plus désormais que la violence.
Au moment où nos concitoyens peinent à se faire soigner, où les prix aux stations-services ne sont pas adaptés et où la dette publique atteint des sommets records, vous décidez de prendre d'assaut par la force une institution indépendante de l'État polonais. Ce n'est pas ainsi que les démocrates opèrent, Monsieur le Premier ministre. L'État de droit ne peut pas être restaurée par des méthodes qui violent elles-mêmes si gravement la loi.
Je ne passerai pas là-dessus à l'ordre du jour. J'utiliserai toutes les prérogatives qui me sont constitutionnellement dévolues, ainsi que le mandat que le peuple m'a confié, pour stopper cette tentative de renverser l'ordre constitutionnel de la République de Pologne.
J'attends du Premier ministre qu'il reprenne ses esprits avant les célébrations de notre fête de l'Indépendance nationale, le 11 novembre. Qu'il répare ce qui a été fait et qu'il rende les affaires de la Pologne aux Polonais. Avant d'obtenir le pardon, il faut savoir confesser ses péchés et faire preuve de repentance.
Le pouvoir passe plus vite qu'on ne le croit. Les gouvernements changent, les majorités politiques vont et viennent, mais la République, elle, doit durer."

Daniel OK-Carr has some powerful points about Savaas MyView, one of the popular basal curricula.
On its Science of Reading-era revamp:
"I bought the 2020 student textbook for my grade level to see the differences myself. What changed?
I kid you not, the order of the , the questions, the formulaic close read prompts, and the worksheets themselves — they all are exactly the same.
Either Savvas is supremely confident that their product has achieved the pinnacle of textbook glory, or they are simply supremely lazy."
I wish these stories weren't so common.

I've been obsessed with what a better education system could look like and why many have failed at building a new one. From skipping school from 14y/o to starting an alternative school 3 years ago, I've been completely unsatisfied with the status quo. It's this wrinkle in the fabric of our society which won't be ironed away.

We have a serious education issue in America and if we don’t address it, we have a horrible future ahead of us
These kind of responses use 12th grade reading results in 2024 in America showed that reading levels right now the lowest they’ve ever been since the assessment began in 1992

Yep: 'DI hasn't been shown to produce "confident communicators, curious thinkers, imaginative players and increasingly independent learners".'
Those magic qualities can't be measured by standardized assessments.
Because 'confident communicators' don't need words or sentences. 🙄
