Research has shown that children’s ability to manage their full range of emotions effectively, also known as self-regulation—is one of the most important factors for success in school, work, and relationships in the long term.

That we venerate and enable elite schools to be the gatekeepers of wealth, privilege, power, prestige, social status seems equally, if not more, problematic

Invest in "school choice" or teachers?
PASSED: "Charter School Stimulus Fund" $400K grants to startups increased enrollment & comparable funding
REJECTED: Teacher raises (instead $2,300 that "will likely be nullified" by health ins. premium increases)

If you want to enact a sweeping private school voucher program, do NOT let the people vote on it. Instead, purchase the state legislature. Here's Betsy DeVos back in 2016 foreshadowing what is playing out in [insert state] right now politico.com/tipsheets/morni…

The years of early childhood are unique and consequential in and of themselves… not just preparation for something more important to come. Failure to honor the developmental needs of young children will never be a path to better outcomes.

So true, this slogan has never made sense to me because in no case are vouchers "funding students." In all cases, public funds are subsidizing systems of education, either public or private, that's the choice. And if private then we are "funding moneyed interests" not public good

Whatever system(s) of education emerges from this inflection point, it will be “public” (free, open to all, democratically governed, geared toward common good) only if we meet this moment w/ a political/social movement to strengthen, not just defend, public schools.
