While people are focused…

…on Russia, here is what else is going on in Washington:

Trump’s education budget will devastate public education.

The cuts would come from eliminating at least 22 programs, some of which Trump outlined in March. Gone, for example, would be $1.2 billion for after-school programs that serve 1.6 million children, most of whom are poor, and $2.1 billion for teacher training and class-size reduction.

 

Betsy DeVos knows nothing about public education:

Don’t worry, Barron Trump will have small class sizes.

Vouchers are a failed program that robs taxpayers and does not help children.

School choice increases segregation.

 

Other education stories:

Did school under the gun for test scores delay evacuation, valuing the state assessments over student & staff safety?

Interesting read.  Good lessons can conquer “fidget spinners”?  Great self-analysis by a NC teacher.

 

Love this.

Remember, the test score moratorium ends soon.
