My latest blog post: Debunking the latest The74 miracle charter school story garyrubinstein.wordpress.com/2026/02/01/deb…

@The74 The photo of the 8th grade class shows 14 students which is a really small sample. It is good that 70% of those students (10 students) in this school passed but you have to see the context of why are there just 14 students in that grade.

Rather than promoting deeper literacy skills, the phonics-based approach 'may unintentionally encourage teachers to focus on surface-level goals.' buff.ly/aBhSJIT

@ChalkbeatNY This didn't age well. At that school, only one student out of 62 test takers truly passed the Algebra I Regents last year. 73% outright failed. Then 26% barely passed, but only because of a very generous curve that raises a 35% to passing.

"The new curriculum is famously rigorous. That’s been a good thing for my Algebra I students, even those who struggle with math." chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025/0…

@SecKennedy @POTUS Pretty ominous that you didn’t specify which direction those changes will go……

President Trump is demanding that Syracuse go back to calling themselves the Orangemen and that the San Antonio Spurs change their name to Bone Spurs.

I was inspired by Pasek and Paul’s “Dear Evan Hansen” to write my book “I Eat Poop” and now I get to work with them on turning it into a musical! I’m thrilled that all of these talented people want to help make this dream a reality. deadline.com/2025/06/paramo…

@danmcguirempls @TeachForAmerica Thanks!

@garyrubinstein @TeachForAmerica Thanks for your perspective on Aneesh and TFA. I only wish that even 20% of main stream media were 20% as thorough as you. I'm not great with statistics but I don't think I'm asking for much.

@rpondiscio @TeachForAmerica Here's my take garyrubinstein.wordpress.com/2025/01/24/who…

Not long ago this would have been big news and widely discussed, but I've seen not one word about this, even from the organization's Twitter feed: @TeachForAmerica named its new CEO yesterday. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
