A new report reveals the billions our government has shorted schools for low-income kids. There will be more about this report in tomorrow's newsletter, but in the meantime, watch this video to get an overview of the startling findings. youtube.com/watch?v=mkD2mDDP… @ReclaimOurSchls

This blatant inequity in schools is shameful. bit.ly/2GeAYq3

An underappreciated but very important potential outcome of the teacher strikes. #edreform #edchat

How #SchoolChoice screws public school funding in Indiana regardless of the choices parents make to stick with local public schools bit.ly/2GiCPPy

I'm sure there are lots of low-performing charter schools where @BetsyDeVosED would be welcome. In fact, she's already been to one. She called it a "shining example." @PoliticsK12 bit.ly/2GNpewx #CharterSchoolFail

South Carolina charter school may have to close because parents can't get there. Didn't anyone think of that before it was allowed to open? bit.ly/2GruyFX #CharterSchoolFail

New study: Charter schools offer potential to create separate-but-equal schools of excellence, as under Plessy. In CA, this is undermined by charter management groups, creating situation worse than Plessy. bit.ly/2FoFaon @DrPrestonGreen @nhannahjones #CharterSchoolFail

Watch for "micro-schools" as the next wave of "reform" and "choice." They're "too small and too autonomous for traditional accountability measures." bit.ly/2HlYJOA

Really, she did this! Betsy DeVos responds to questions about preventing school shootings by pivoting to school choice. #SchoolShooting

In N Carolina, #SchoolChoice is the freedom to choose any bad education option you want. It's absolutely liberating. bit.ly/2FiYQZr #SchoolChoiceWeek #WeChoose @tmillsNC

Yes you'd think, but media (and many lefty folks) can't stop obsessing about our current occupant of the White House and his latest antic nyti.ms/2rBZI9t

The financials of charter schools as they currently work in most states make no sense #CharterSchoolFail

Person to deliver the rebuttal to Trump's SOTU

Wow, for a donation of just $500, I could get a "collaboration work table" named in my honor at this proposed new charter school. It would "empower our youth to effect a bright tomorrow!" #CharterSchoolFail

They hire only non-union teachers too #CharterSchoolFail

Make sense to you? Florida court reviewing case over state's constitutional duty to fund schools rules judges shouldn't rule on education matters bit.ly/2ChJfbT #WarOnLearning

"The greatest education malpractice in America happens in the statehouse, not the schoolhouse." Please watch an educator tell it like it is and then share with all your followers vimeo.com/223637669 @Network4pubEd

New Report: 29 states fund public education less than they did in 2008. In most cases, the GOP "party of business" presides over the cuts. But what kind of business would cut supply while demand is increasing? bit.ly/2BuBdMB

When charter schools are free to hire whatever administrative staff they want - like a "director of strategic growth and PR" - it means your tax dollars are being directed away from students and classrooms bit.ly/2A6b7PD #CharterSchoolFail #Gulen
