Jennifer Berkshire @BisforBerkshire on @KnowYrEnemyPod had a brilliant analysis of failed centrist Democratic ideas about education and economic redistribution, specific to Youngkin's win in VA. I'm very interested in how it applies to midterms results. dissentmagazine.org/blog/know-your…

The dilemmas of teaching.

We're definitely measuring the wrong end of the system. #TBATs #AmericanEducationWeek .@MIBATS .@NEABATCaucus .@OhioBATs .@AFTBATcaucus .@PennBat .@BATsDelaware .@BATs_DC .@VirginiaBATs .@MarylandBAT .@NYStateBATs .@FLBATsA #SupportPublicSchools

Public money should go to public schools, not private ones. It just makes sense. #CommonGood #TBATs #SupportPublicSchools .@MIBATS .@AFTBATcaucus .@OhioBATs .@NEABATCaucus .@PennBat .@VirginiaBATs .@BATs_DC .@NYStateBATs .@NPEaction .@Network4pubEd .@MarylandBAT .@IllinoisBATs

What has education come to? Talented, experienced teachers who love teaching are leaving in droves. You want to fix the Teacher Shortage? Fix this. #TBATs .@AFTBATcaucus .@MIBATS .@NEABATCaucus .@PennBat .@OhioBATs .@BATsDelaware .@VirginiaBATs .@BATs_DC .@WVBats .@VirginiaBATs

Charter schools are businesses. They pick their Board Members. They can hide their finances. They can choose the easiest & cheapest kids to educate. #TBATs .@OhioBATs .@BATsDelaware .@BATs_DC .@VirginiaBATs .@PennBat .@MarylandBAT .@MIBATS .@KentuckyBATs .@MemphisbatBa

School Board Members & Administrators are worried. They have good reason to be. freep.com/story/opinion/… #TBATs .@BATs_DC .@BATsDelaware .@OhioBATs .@VirginiaBATs .@PennBATs .@NoCarolinaBATs .@SoCarolinaBATs .@MarylandBAT

Poll after poll shows that 90% of the public LOVE their public schools. Let's show the candidates in November that we won't support them, if they don't support our schools. #TBATs .@BATs_DC .@VirginiaBATs .@MIBATS .@AFTBATcaucus .@OhioBATs .@NEABATCaucus .@PennBat .@BATsDelaware

The enemies of public education use one outrageous claim after another to sow doubt & division. Don't let them get away with it. #SaveOurSchools #TBATs .@OhioBATs .@VirginiaBATs .@BATs_DC .@BATsDelaware .@PennBat .@MarylandBAT .@MIBATS .@RhodeIslandBats

We don't need a history full of holes. We need the whole story so we can understand and learn from both triumphs & mistakes. #TBATs .@OhioBATs .@VirginiaBATs .@BATs_DC .@BATsDelaware .@PennBat .@MarylandBAT .@MIBATS .@NoCarolinaBATs .@SoCarolinaBATs .@WVBats
