Cheers and Jeers: June 15, 2023

The Education Gadfly
6.15.2023

Cheers

  • “Unbundling” isn’t just for parents. Education systems can do it too by rethinking and revising “the many roles, responsibilities, and tasks that schools have bundled together.” —Rick Hess
  • “Ellen Register teaches in Grady County [Georgia], on the Florida border, where teachers are in year two of Science of Reading training. She said she was shocked the material was new to her. ‘Because I have a master’s degree, I have a reading endorsement, and I didn't even know all of this.’” —NPR

Jeers

  • “Some families say that New York City schools are making unfounded reports to child protective services in retaliation against parents of disabled children who advocate for their children's educational needs.” —Reason
  • Schools are struggling not only with students’ chronic absenteeism, but teachers’, as well. —USA Today
