@plthomasEdD Campbells law--after Donald Campbell. In other fields it goes by the name "Goodharts Law." Same thing--when stakes are high corruption of the indicator being used is likley.

@Larryferlazzo Hope you get to look at what we did to help defend/save/protect public education with the book "Public Education: Defending a Cornerstone of American Democracy," Berliner and Hermanns editors. TCPress released it in December. 20+ authors writing about our PUBLIC schools.

[David C Berliner @DavidCBerliner]

@mr_dsantos @ProfessorJVH @TCPress It has lots of wonderful essays, some critical of course, but all ultimately supportive of maintaining and invigorating our PUBLIC schools. Limits on voting rights and limits on support for public schools serve the same purpose: wounding our fragile democracy.

[David C Berliner @DavidCBerliner]

@janelletscott I too am so sorry for our loss. He was a friend to me, and we were quite recently trading ideas about how to get his (and my) essays published--agreeing that the essay format is a wonderful way to express ourselves. He was a master of it, and was coaching me. A wonderful man.

If you've ever seen an elephant family in the wild you would know how cruel it is for this animal to be alone. Change that NOW!

You really can’t make this stuff up—its so over the top. But at least this Trump official has found a way for we educators to increase test scores—Its via semen-exposed woman.

@mdthib Thanks Matt. we all miss Elliot. Just heard from Ellie--and she does, of course, miss him a lot. But she is doing fine in a retirement community. Lots of friends and cultural events, kids and grandkids for her, and she is happy.
