Seeing claims that the Portnoy/Vance flap is indicative of a split w/in conservatism over *other people's kids* & chortling cuz the central premise of GOP education policy now is that your kids are the only ones that matter. That's literally what *fund students not systems means*

Not sure I've ever read a better short take on the fatal flaw of accountability-based school reform - "the most efficient tool ever devised to destroy a student’s interest in learning" - as this one by @DLabaree. He zeroes in on the difference between effectiveness and efficiency
