Biden makes case for best-educated workforce’ with universal pre-K, teacher raises in SOTU-TheHill. Wonder where we would be had Nixon/Exec Branch not vetoed 1971 Comprehensive Pre-K Act?@IUPUISchoolOfEd @IUPUI_UrbanEdL @IUPUIEdLawProf https://t.co/hagtRMLXfR
Is this what we should not be looking 👀 at?
SB 486- it is meant to limit teacher voices on class sizes, curriculum, school safety, professional development, teacher evaluation, and other educational priorities before a decision is made.
Is policy required to make a systemic change? We lack systemic legal education for teachers, while research shows it is an effective way to curb lawsuits and build confidence and trust. #StudyEdLaw
@Giu_Giu_Bee@IUPUIEdLawProf@IUPUI_UrbanEdL @IUPUISchoolOfEd SuperInt Johnson, “Who are incentivized by schools failing kids because it helps to prove their point.” That is why I don’t trust Charter schools. They are supposed to create better educational experiences for students, but are people making money off of their creation?
@MrPope_HMMS@IUPUIEdLawProf@IUPUI_UrbanEdL @IUPUISchoolOfEd Yep! I thought it was possible for well-intended private schools to use system to change system to equitable one. Experience working at voucher school made me distrust said schools more, even ones that claim to be propublic/proequality exceptions. Legal≠Ethical #CanSystemChange?
IPS gets more 💵 than charter schools. Do either get enough to thwart inequity toward all protected by 14th Amendment? Private schools getting $ may be liable too if not equitable, tho rare. ⬇️ @IUPUIEdLawProf@IUPUI_UrbanEdL @IUPUISchoolOfEd #StudyEdLaw https://t.co/kq0yu12FPv
@MrPope_HMMS@IUPUIEdLawProf@IUPUI_UrbanEdL @IUPUISchoolOfEd I too am not convinced BIPOC families hurt more if charters aren’t given more $. Rhetoric is tacking advantage of educational decay & playing on White guilt? But too late for village approach to education since funds sharing is legal? Can it be turned around? See SuprInt Speech⬇️
There’s a mix of families here, accompanied by pro-charter groups like EmpowerED Families, Rise, outside the Madam Walker Legacy Center this morning ahead of the IPS board meeting. The board was meant to vote on the operating referendum today but it’s been pulled from the agenda

IC20-51-4-1(1)State may not regulate teaching & teacher hiring requirement of nonpublic schools accepting vouchers. Yet,(8)REQUIRES teachers respect student's parents,home, student's self. https://t.co/gGiQF3O0nU @IUPUI_UrbanEdL@IUPUIEdLawProf State requires, but won't regulate?
Indiana is the most polluted state in America. This isn’t hyperbole – just look at the US Toxic Release Inventory. *We’re number one, we’re number one!* A thread to vent some of my frustration at the Republican supermajority in the Indiana General Assembly. <rant>(1/16)
@belizemedia For those following the US Presidential race the bookmakers are quoting @JoeBiden at 10/11 and @realDonaldTrump at 19/20... very close to 50/50...
