On the Edge: The Mystery Is Solved

http://snunes.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-mystery-is-solved.html

Thursday, August 13, 2015. The Mystery Is Solved. After nearly 90 years of controversy and rumor, it is indeed true that Nan Britton had an affair with President Warren Harding, and that her daughter was indeed fathered by the president. Chalk if up to DNA and other technology proving it beyond all doubt. Still, some Harding family members aren't totally onboard:. Britton may have been smitten (no rhyme intended) with the president, but his great romance was with Carrie Phillips. Trump Goes Full Hitler.

Gene V Glass: Education in Two Worlds: November 2014

http://ed2worlds.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 28, 2014. David Berliner Tells Arne Duncan How to Do Teacher Education Right. I told him that with the same amount of money as we spend on the students that leave the state I could design one year clinical programs so every teacher does clinical rotations in the classrooms of schools with different kinds of students, rotations modeled on medical education. The president listened to my proposal and when I was through, he politely threw me out of his office! David C. Berliner. The plaintif...

Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Facts Behind the Arizona School Finance Case. Arizona schools are currently suing the state for unpaid bills. The case goes like this:. In 2000, the voters passed a referendum that mandates regular increases in state funding to account for inflation. For several years around the Great Recession, the Legislature cut funds and ignored the inflation mandate. The schools claim that the Legislature is $1 billion in arrears. The matter will be settled in a Phoenix courtroom. Actually...

Gene V Glass: Education in Two Worlds: February 2015

http://ed2worlds.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 16, 2015. Arizona Has No Concept of a "Conflict of Interest". Arizona simply doesn't recognize things called conflicts of interest. I could list dozens concerning public education. A staff member the Board of Regents once told me that in Arizona if you declare your connections, then you can no longer be accused of having a conflict of interest. Perhaps this qualifies as some minimal level of ethical behavior. National Education Policy Center. University of Colorado Boulder. Two days ago,...

Thursday, January 8, 2015. Cream Rises to the Top in the Charters? The cream doesn't rise to the top in the charter schools. It starts at the top. To some, growth is a good thing. Others see the growth of the charter school sector as the spreading of fraud and under-performance, and the continued resegregation of the nation's public school system. National Education Policy Center. University of Colorado Boulder. The opinions expressed here are those of the authors and do not represent the official positi...

Gene V Glass: Education in Two Worlds: Can the "Opt Out" Movement Succeed?

http://ed2worlds.blogspot.com/2015/03/can-opt-out-movement-succeed.html

Friday, March 13, 2015. Can the "Opt Out" Movement Succeed? At present, the Opt Out movement is small — a few thousand students in Colorado, several hundred in New Mexico, and smatterings of ad hoc. Which 10% opted out? A scattering of high and low scorers? And would any statistical sleight of hand to correct for "missing data" stand up in court against a teacher who was fired or a school that was taken over by the state for a "turn around"? I don't think so. National Education Policy Center. Staci Almag...
