Can a single test simultaneously serve as an accountability instrument, an instructional tool, and a measure of local flexibility? My latest for @educationgadfly on why we need to be wary of promises that sound too good to be true.

$1,000,000,000 in scholarships for 30,000 seniors this year alone. Incredible work by @CharterGrowth in changing the life trajectory for first-gen and low-income students. Keep crushing it. 📈🎓

Narrator: It was, de facto, about lowering standards.

“This is the opportunity to change the education landscape in this city for children, especially Black children.” @LadyTenn

Zero imagination.

There’s no reason why every state shouldn’t have an automatic trigger like this on their books. Without it, proficiency ratings eventually lose their signal strength, and systems inevitably succumb to political pressure to make everyone look good.

Suggesting test scores just mirror socioeconomic status completely ignores real world policy victories in places like Houston and Mississippi.

The @washingtonpost editorial board says “it’s already clear that keeping AI out of schools would hurt the kids who need the most help.” Clear to whom?

The headline is pure clickbait. @ross_wiener’s piece is actually a thoughtful look at why high schools are broken. But here’s the blind spot: his critique fails the earlier grades. Easing up on accountability is exactly how we lost the plot on academics.

A $3M cautionary tale about rushing unvetted tech. The fallout is just beginning.

WATCH: Parents erupt following 2 hours of emotional pleading and a 7-2 vote to strip screen opt-outs. From LA to NYC, a parental rebellion is brewing against school-sanctioned screen time. The K-12 techlash is just beginning, and Big Tech ignores it at their own peril.
