ODOS is back!
The push to close Denver schools by the board is creating anxiety and concern among families and citizens. Why is this happening? @FLBaloney @uncharteredco @DenverTeachers @NPEaction @electrobrogers @DianeRavitch @TrusteeFord @4publicedva

👏 THANK YOU, @Rep_Grijalva for introducing the Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act in the U.S. House! This critical bill works to repeal Trump’s federal voucher scam from HB1 and reinvest in our local communities.
Public funds belong in public schools — it’s that simple🍎

NEW: Public schools spend $700 billion a year. Tech companies, private equity, and Wall Street all want a cut.
They get it through revolving-door relationships with school administrators, and kids pay the price. We dug into it.

Teachers already have to work second jobs and pay for many of their own supplies. Trying to squeeze them for profits means making all that worse.

OUR CLOSING MESSAGE--the billionaires backing Michael Bennet and funding attacks against me have an agenda for him. As Attorney General, I have taken on irresponsible companies and the Trump Administration--and am winning. As Governor, my only agenda will be to fight for you.

"Ballots drop June 8 for the June 30 Colorado Democratic primary. Will the independent and Democratic voters buck the trend of billionaires swaying elections and elect Weiser, or will this billionaire investment pay off for Bennet?"

NEW: Have you heard of i-Ready?
It's in a THIRD of school districts.
The company behind it makes $800m/yr revenue.
Kids are often required to use it for 90 min/week, or more, and they hate it.
It doesn't count toward grades.
Teachers can't see a student's answers.
Schools are paying millions for it hoping to improve their state test scores, but critics say there's no proof it works.

Of course this was inevitable. Will it fall flat on its face like every Gates-funded education initiative in the last 20 years? @Anthropic and @GatesFoundation to form $200M partnership to fund (among other things) expanded AI use in schools edtechinnovationhub.com/news…

The NAEP proficiency myth
NAEP proficient is not synonymous with grade level. NAEP officials urge that proficient not be interpreted as reflecting grade level work. It is a standard set much higher than that. Scholarly panels have reviewed the NAEP achievement standards and found them flawed. The highest scoring nations of the world would appear to be mediocre or poor performers if judged by the NAEP proficient standard. Even large numbers of U.S. calculus students fall short.
As states consider building benchmarks for student performance into accountability systems, they should not use NAEP proficient—or any standard aligned with NAEP proficient—as a benchmark. It is an unreasonable expectation, one that ill serves America’s students, parents, and teachers–and the effort to improve America’s schools.

If children not reading at grade level by grade 3 is a crisis, why aren’t children born into and still living in poverty by grade 3 also a crisis worthy of new policy?

"Governor Polis opted Colorado into this voucher program, and the state is ultimately responsible for this program even though they will have no control over it."
Next year, a new Governor can out out of this federal voucher scheme. @DianeRavitch
