The Education Gadfly
2.16.2023

Cheers

  • Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is requiring districts to adopt curriculum aligned with the science of reading, and banning those that include the “three cueing” method, including Ohio State’s Reading Recovery. —Cleveland.com
  • “The last thing America needs is more ‘grown-ups’ using schools and kids as proxies in their never-ending political battles.” —John Halpin

Jeers

  • Public-sector unions have undue influence on their employers in the government, leading to abuse and a lack of accountability. —George F. Will
  • Just one in ten students are receiving the type of high-dosage tutoring that is effective in reversing learning loss. —The 74
  • To oppose Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to expand charter schools in New York City, teachers unions are resorting to the old lie that charters steal resources from traditional public schools.—New York Post
