If you *only* used SAT to admit to elite colleges, share of admits from top 1% income falls 15.8% → 9.9% and representation from <$200k rises by +8.8%, with no reduction in post-college outcomes. It's 'holistic review' and 'ban SAT' policy that allows the most wealthy and…

Bronx charter students crushed the state tests—outscoring district peers by 25 points in math and reading. Proof that zip code needn’t dictate destiny.

"But but but schools just need more money!" Countless times, the Department of Education tried just that: Sending schools piles of money. Ya know what happened every time? No academic improvements. Here are four examples🧵

If all Black students performed at the level of Black Catholic students, the racial achievement gap in reading would be completely eliminated and it would be reduced by two-thirds in math

If Catholic school demonstrably raises achievement among minority students, what is the public policy argument--or the equity, social justice, or simple fairness argument--for denying them the ability to pay for it with public dollars via ESA, voucher, etc.?

Just had a student from last year come into my class and recite a bunch of my grammar curriculum he remembered. Take that, people who say grammar can't be taught explicitly.

Of course class size matters. But everyone seems to assume their child will get a strong teacher *and* a small class size, not a struggling or mediocre teacher who is less effective with 16 than the strong one is with 34.

When the state lowers the bar and calls it progress, is it any wonder parents don’t trust test scores?

Please stop. Learning happens through good instruction, knowledgeable teachers, and continuous retrieval and application of the knowledge taught.

England has transformed its schools using ideas from US educators at exactly the same time the US has foundered (& ignored those ideas). Agree w this excellent @NickGibbUK piece (& honored to have earned a small mention). fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…

When we have 11th graders reading at a 3rd grade level, we've just hopelessly lost the plot in this country.

Beyond stupid, I find these “equity grading” reforms to be downright insulting and offensive. Always pushed in urban schools, they essentially communicate, “well we can’t expect you people to turn things in on time. That’s a white person thing.” Who are the real racists here?!

Working memory is limited. It overloads easily. Direct instruction is designed to manage cognitive load - it is clear, sequenced, and builds understanding step by step. Students can’t juggle too much at once. And they won’t learn much when left to swim in noise and activity.

Complex skills are made up of smaller component skills. Direct instruction builds up to complex skills by teaching the smaller problems inside to mastery. Discovery learning skips the buildup, assuming, somehow, that students can perform the whole without mastering the parts.

"There's no one way to teach reading" has to be the most detached rationale. You have a classroom... pick a path for Tier1. The myth of the octopus teacher, mastering and applying dozens of methods, needs to go. Reality: "No 1 way" is often cover for doing what adults prefer/know
