Not Boston Globe Education

Hello Twitterverse! This is my new Twitter account. I like all things related to the privatization of public education and making more charter schools (just not in the suburban community where I live). Will you follow me? 🙏🤞#BostonSchoolsAreAlwaysAProblem

Mass. is one of world's top ed systems (highest test scores, graduation rates, resident's educational achievement). Globe's corporate funders need people to doubt public ed, reduce its funding/lower their taxes, make citizens stupid to allow them to keep taking all the wealth.

No parody. Seriously, if your only quoted educational "expert" is ultra-conservative AEI's Fred Hess (does not have a background in assessment, but is a shill for every corporate-backed ed idea), then you're as poor at reporting as the Boston Herald.😉😂 aei.org/profile/freder…

Caught red handed! AP scores changed! If Massachusetts was its own country, it would rank top in the world on those standardized tests that we love so much. But, always have to find some fake reason to demand more charter schools and less teachers unions. bostonglobe.com/2026/03/03/met…

Enjoy our latest "news report" on the new Massachusetts Sec. of Education, which is just a laundry list of the neoliberal things our editorial board wants him to do. (Like how we stopped being a legitimate newspaper and now everything is an opinion blog?). bostonglobe.com/2026/02/11/met…

Brings back memories of when this "union hating asshole" called himself "a virtual Pinkerton" in response to this parody account. He said it, not us! Read some real journalism on the topic (p.s. Teen Vogue has better education reporting than the Globe).😉 teenvogue.com/story/who-were…

Happy retirement to a columnist who cosplayed as someone with actual knowledgable opinions on education, but was just a neoliberal parrot of our editorial board. bostonglobe.com/2026/01/30/opi…

Our attempt at the Globe to pretend that we care about poor kids. Comes out during the Christmas season. 🎅🎄Our Editorial Board's policy stances on the other 11 months shows you what we really care about (privatization, charters, closing schools). 😒 bostonglobe.com/2025/12/10/met…

End with nonsense quotes from former Sec. of Ed. Paul Reville (guaranteed to always agree with Globe editorial board), a pro-charter former non-profit org leader, and a business lobbyist. Globe certainly knows how to use that tired old neoliberal education template flawlessly. 😉

Surprise surprise. These "reporters" conclude BPS should spend less on students. Why? They are the top major city district. Instead, they should spend more to make more equitable. But, they want to lower rich people's taxes (people who pay to keep this 2nd-rate paper alive).

Globe "News Story": Wu's goal to make BPS the top major city school district in the country. Good luck with that! (Even though on all indicators, it is already true). bostonglobe.com/2025/12/08/met…

Larry Summers has always been a terrible asshole. The Boston Globe is just realizing this now (and why you shouldn't trust our Editorial Board on most issues of importance, especially not education-we only speak for the rich and powerful these days). bostonglobe.com/2025/11/24/met…

Weird. Students, teachers, and administrators miss roughly the same number of days in a school year. We'll take what seems to be the needed annual days for illness/life events and make it into a fake story about how our education system sucks. bostonglobe.com/2025/11/20/met…

No parody. How out of touch is the Globe Editorial Board? Their solution for every educational problem is to do the same old tired punitive things that didn't work over the past 30 years of neoliberal ed reform. They are the Rip Van Winkle of educational ideas.

Editorial: The only way we can help struggling schools is to have the state (who has never "turned around" a school) take them over. Also, bring back the MCAS graduation requirement. bostonglobe.com/2025/11/20/opi…

Voters were clear that they didn't want an MCAS graduation requirement. Politicians are clear that they don't care about voters (they serve business groups after all!). Look for a Globe editorial supporting a "new and improved" MCAS graduation test soon. bostonglobe.com/2025/10/16/met…
