@SharonGF_NBCT you’re hilarious

[Royce Van Tassell @mrmrvt]

@SharonGF_NBCT you r moving the goalposts - what happened to adequate funding? Thought that was your key

[Royce Van Tassell @mrmrvt]

@SharonGF_NBCT yes - my grad profs would never have accepted such shoddy work

[Royce Van Tassell @mrmrvt]

@SharonGF_NBCT find me someplace that’s found that magical “adequate” funding, and i’ll believe you. Your friends in MA, CA, etc also oppose

[Royce Van Tassell @mrmrvt]

@SharonGF_NBCT Yes - I support charter schools. I wear that on my sleeve. Are you willing to state that you oppose charter schools?

[Royce Van Tassell @mrmrvt]

@SharonGF_NBCT They dress up asked and answered questions in faux academic language, but it still doesn’t have substance

[Royce Van Tassell @mrmrvt]

@SharonGF_NBCT They ignore the competitive incentive against charter schools & ignore history - PLEASE, Sharon, you can do better

[Royce Van Tassell @mrmrvt]

@SharonGF_NBCT Wow - The authors analysis couldn’t be more hollow. No wonder I hadn’t heard of it. There’s no “there” there

[Royce Van Tassell @mrmrvt]

@SharonGF_NBCT Just reading the “new” study - give me a few

[Royce Van Tassell @mrmrvt]

@SharonGF_NBCT Feb of last year counts as “new”?
