This book excerpt by @jenniferberkshire.bsky.social and @jackschneider.bsky.social lays out a persuasive case for why public schools and the ideal of public education should be defended not as productivity engines but as a common good.
Problem is I’m not sure that flies in 2024, which saddens me.

Bait-and-switch is an old retail tactic. You lure customers in with promises of a deep discount, only to inform them that the deal has a catch. The real price tag, it turns out, is quite a bit more.
Guess who learned the trick?

“It’s one thing to smear teachers or to level outrageous claims about the curriculum. It’s another thing entirely to convince local voters – people who have a stake in the schools actually functioning – that you have the good sense and the practical skills to oversee school district operations.”

Nice piece from Richard Rothstein in his newsletter today. In short, we short-change kids when we claim that teachers are the chief determiners of student achievement. Instead of fulfilling our obligations, we engage in magical thinking.

When I say that the Democratic Party laid the runway that Betsy DeVos and her allies are launching their voucher jets from, what I mean is this... David Osborne, advisor to Clinton/Gore, in 1993: "Let the parents pick the school and have the money follow the child."

If you read only one piece from the latest History of Education Quarterly, check out this dialogue between Johann Neem and Carol Burris on the meaning and purpose of public education.
These dialogues are what I'm proudest of as an editor. And this one's a gem.
