1/23/12: What happened in the #realreform Twittersphere? EduTweeters weighed in at ASCD’s #LILA12, @NickKristof got an eye-ful, the Parent Trigger continued to spread, & more, after the jump.
1/20/12: What made #realreform types think, cheer & chuckle? A #CATeaching conference, & having way too much fun with #6wordessay at Michelle Rhee’s expense. More after the jump.
The world of education politics, like politics more generally, is disturbingly incestuous in this manner, with elites handing each other prestigious leadership positions and opportunities, which they then parlay into additional leadership positions using their previous (often unearned) roles as credentials. They then enjoy the privilege of being supported by think tanks, media outlets, government agencies and other organizations that typically promote their ideas and actions instead of meaningfully investigating them.
