“Parents and policymakers are responding to the tech-fueled anomie suffusing their kids’ schools with the crude tools available to them—bans and restrictions,” says @rickhess99.

As usual, @rickhess99 nails it.

"Don't confuse attainment with capability." Stefanie Sanford, president of Alithi Consulting and former Gates policy chief, tells @rickhess99 why today's "career pathways" push risks repeating the graduation-rate mistakes of the 2000s. @educationweek https://t.co/d3VDywD6UO

[Education Week Opinion @EdWeekOpinion]

Career pathways are having a moment. But how much of “workforce readiness” is smoke and mirrors?

[Frederick M. Hess @rickhess99]

There's a Lot of Talk About 'Career Readiness.' Have We Thought This Through?

@FlowTap1 @realPBanksley Hard agree!

[Patrick Wolf @FlowTap1]

Read everything that is written about @realPBanksley, that is if you care about actionizing thinkiness, and who doesn't?! @rickhess99 https://t.co/QS95t4B430

[Frederick M. Hess @rickhess99]

@BarryGarelick Hah! Nope, don’t know her

[Frederick M. Hess @rickhess99]

@FlowTap1 Appreciate that, pal!

The inimitable @rickhess99 provides this highly instructive warning about two challenges faced by the Federal Tax Credit Scholarship program, concluding "This is, of course, why I don’t get invited to parties." I'll invite you to my next party, Rick! https://t.co/UMVX5yERkj

“When a new thing is taking off, school reformers have a history of treating inconvenient questions as a distraction. Only later, after committing enough avoidable missteps and unforced errors, is there room for reflection.” — @rickhess99 @EducationNext https://t.co/me4ZQORpVr

Digging in on the New Federal Scholarship Tax Credit

For the FSTC to deliver on its promise, we should not overlook two big challenges ahead.

@RplusDyslexia @ChadAldeman @karenvaites I could have told you -- and did -- 20 years ago that policy is not progress. @rickhess99 said it best: it's easy to get people to do something. It's hard to get them to do it well.

Teach For America's New CEO: 'We're Working to Reinspire Belief' in Public Education

TFA defined an era . . . and then lost its mojo. Where do things stand today?

I discuss with CEO Aneesh Sohoni after year one.

See what you think.

New from @rickhess99 and @smarick: The political right suffers from a too-small pool of expert public-sector leaders. University-based policy schools are a big part of the problem. https://t.co/I2zhy0Hwji
