It is time for Queensbury to stand up and support Ethics Board There were so many terrible lies this year that Politifact called 2025 `Year of the Lies'

Now, the Board's future is under threat for simply doing its job.
We must protect non-partisan oversight! ⚖️

Did scaling back school accountability and testing pressure hurt students? Critics say ending No Child Left Behind and moving to the Every Student Succeeds Act can help explain declining test scores. Here’s what the research shows.

Brian Jacob's past research with Thomas Dee is highlighted in this reflection on No Child Left Behind from @chalkbeat.org #NCLB

The roar of support was incredible—hard to believe we're in such a red area!

This is the First Amendment in action, plain and simple.

Debate Over Improving Public Schools Is Dividing Democrats Some Democrats are using tough rhetoric about public-school performance, signaling an emerging divide within the party over K-12 education.

I never recommend anyone go into teaching in these times.

I am no fan of the #DOE. From the start of the septic, #bipartisan 🔴💀🔵 #NCLB under #GWBush and its #ESSA expansion under #Obama, ☣️45☢️ and #Biden, it has hurt children & teachers through #StandardizedChildAbuse / #StandardizedTeacherAbuse.
#CorporateEducationDeform

I worked with #NCLB in the early 2000’s. MF’ers didn’t know the NAME OF THE GOT DAMN SCHOOL , nor the teacher’s name of their own children. We have lots of work left undone.

As a retired teacher, I agree. However, our education system has been hijacked by 😖 #bipartisan support for WORTHLESS #StandardizedChildAbuse / #StandardizedTeacherAbuse since the early 2000s and the original #NCLB. #edusky

And instead - post the original 🤮 BIPARTISAN #NCLB in the early 2000s - we got #CorporateEducation deform via #TestAndPunish #StandardizedChildAbuse. The #DOE enforced this through economic blackmail. 1 of the villains in this was #Obama 's #ArneDuncan.

Yet you refuse to criticize the Democratic establishment as it OWNS both the NEA & AFT. It collided in both the original bipartisan #NCLB and the #ESSA reauthorization. It helped make the % of undergraduates from 22% down to its current 4%. They destroyed teaching as a profession as much as the GOP.
