You got to be kidding me. She screws teachers out of loan forgiveness and then says this crap.... totally out of touch with reality.

[Secretary Betsy DeVos @BetsyDeVosED]

With a parade of confusing repayment options and forgiveness plans, is it any wonder students are having bad experiences paying back their students loans? We can and must do better.

Interesting new article from @tes, echoing some of the findings discussed by @Dirk_IEA & @DRutkowski_EDU https://t.co/TkXPmLeCcW #TIMSS #edchat #STEMed

[UsesOfPISA @UsesOfPISA]

PISA is used as a proxy for IQ, among other things

[David Rutkowski @DRutkowski_EDU]

Let's just invalidate this interpretation of PISA: 1) China did not participate in PISA (four areas participated) 2) PISA doesn't specifically assess what schools are tasked to teach. (It asses what the OECD thinks is important) @steve_hanke

[Steve Hanke @steve_hanke]

Test results from PISA are in. #China is 1st in reading, math & science. Thanks to 3rd-rate public (read: govt) schools, the #US receives failing grades. US gov’t schools are plagued by poor teachers, who are protected by unions, politically correct curricula, & little discipline

[David Rutkowski @DRutkowski_EDU]

@CamillaAddey Not surprised. PISA isn't telling us much about the core subjects anymore. We need new shocks to keep PISA relevant.

[David Rutkowski @DRutkowski_EDU]

PISA has plms but does a decent job at assessing US students on what the OECD believes students should know. Scores are fairly similar to NAEP which asses what students are taught. Stagnant scores should be a concern. This article is worth a look. https://t.co/7k8aDiJRkr

Are Chinese provinces PISA results legit? A must read by @tomloveless99

[David Rutkowski @DRutkowski_EDU]

Not sure PISA D fixes the issue. There is strong evidence that it also does a poor job at measuring low performers.

More about PISA 2018:

There are certainly issues of assessment reliability and validity especially in terms of the Philippines' cultural context.

The country could have opted to take PISA for Development (participated by low- and... https://t.co/bmFdWgcUfP

A very cool educational leader. We need more like @suptdrmccormick

[Jennifer McCormick @mccormickforgov]

If big decisions are made by isolated committees that continue to have the same chairs and/or members, lack transparency, are void of state-wide practitioner input, ignore data, and push final decisions while facing mass confusion, it is political. period. 🤦🏼‍♀️
We deserve better.

More than 2/3 of the 8th graders in #Chile, #Colombia, #Mexico, #Peru & #DominicanRepublic would support a #Dictatorship if it brings economic development and security.

What are the explanations and policy implications of this finding?

A great new policy brief from @iea_education about how Latin American students' view democracy. The brief is well written, engaging and a great use of #ICCS2016 data. Nice work @asandovalh @treviner @DenialMiranda @sylviaschme !

All schools that receive public tax dollars should be held to the same accountability standards and reporting- fiscally & academically.

State Takeover is triggered by data. Yet, select schools are exempt from much of the data collection. 🤦🏼‍♀️
