“If the test-based teacher evaluation system had simply failed, it would be one more story of educational amateurs insisting that you can measure a cloud by taping a ruler to a sponge while standing in a river, but this approach has done considerable damage to public education.”3

Let us say again. And again. And again.
Rich and powerful forces like @WaltonFamilyFdn think #txed has failed and want to privatize it. The crisis is here. It’s been here for years.
There is one person who can stop it. You. And one place to stop it. Your neighborhood. #txlege

Like a water oak, DeSantis grew fast and thus he grew weak. Water oaks are an undesirable tree as they tend to fall over in storms when the ground is saturated, but they also are subject to rot in their cores. grumpyoldteacher.com/2021/11…
