It took a couple of days, but I finally gathered my thoughts on NHJ’s piece and The New York Times. My small contribution:

The New York Times platformed damaging ideas about education policy for a decade. Now it must correct the record. Read our latest post below 👇

The ed-tech revolution wrought profound transformations on the schools and the students in them, and now decades later we're reckoning with the poisonous fruits of that radical transformation. Check out our newest Substack article here 👇 educationprogress.org/p/thro…

Through the Looking Glass, and What Schools Found There

Chapter 1. Two decades later, can a second technological revolution in the schools save them from the first?

Education policy has two camps. Both are wrong. @tracewoodgrains, founder of @educprogress, live at Manifest: "For a long time in the United States, education policy has been fitting around a one size fits all narrative... everyone understands on some level that kids learn at different paces, but education policy has wanted to treat this as a third rail." "One crowd says, 'Remove all standards, remove standardized tests, remove the advanced programs.' The other says, 'We should have a high flat standard'... that's the No Child Left Behind ethos. We will get everyone up to this flat standard by 2014. And the problem is that's just nonsense." "What we're focused on is how can you meet kids where they are at... test them, teach to their actual level rather than having some hypothetical standard of what a kid this age should know."

Great episode. A lot of the problems in education are ideologically driven, but some are simple mistakes of fact. Making it easier for qualified students to take advanced classes serves the public interest.

Thousands of capable students are being blocked from advanced math—not because they lack ability, but because of flawed placement systems. In this episode, I talk with Thomas Briggs and David Shuck about how this happens. 📚 🔗 Link below

Why hasn't education seen as much progress as other fields over the last century, like medicine or transportation? The answer is that education is caught between a mountain of regulations on one side, and a chaotic, unregulated wild west on the other. Read more below!

Stanford's education research center, YouCubed, revised a paper after I pointed out incorrect data. The new version revealed bigger problems.

The excellence of America’s youth has been systematically suppressed by the institutions whose explicit job is to develop it. For a generation, "equity" has been the hammer that ideologues have used to eliminate excellence in schools There are 3 ways to neutralize that weapon: 1) reject the premise that "equalizing outcomes" is a worthy goal 2) show that eliminating public pathways to excellence hurts the kids who most depend on them 3) reclaim the word "equity" to include the academic needs of ALL kids, including high-achievers Thanks to @CenterforEdProg for collaborating with me on this essay on the failures of equitable education

Cultivating talent in American public schools has never been more important. Winning the AI race is both an economic and geopolitical urgency, and it will require caring about excellence in education again. 👇
