Just your friendly neighborhood English teacher turned librarian here to remind you that literacy has always been political.
New York public schools tell Trump administration they won’t comply with DEI order cnn.com/2025/04/05/us/…
Many, including myself, have been saying this for years. We saw this coming from a mile away.
No one asked me, but it is fascinating watching Reading First get analyzed (again) on Sold a Story 20 years after it happened -- and my distinct sense is that we are in danger of the same thing happening again. My take, from someone who reported on it a lonnnnggg time ago 1/n
IT WAS CALLED THE SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR AND THEY BROUGHT THE BOOKS TO THE SCHOOL AND SET IT UP LIKE A BOOKSTORE AND YOU COULD GET GOOSEBUMPS AND FEAR STREET BOOKS BUT ALSO MICHAEL JORDAN POSTERS AND NICKELODEON BOOKMARKS AND PENCILS THAT SMELLED LIKE CUPCAKES

Two more schools win exemptions from NYC reading curriculum mandate
“There are plenty of schools that are doing just fine,” one literacy expert said. “Why exempt these?”
NAEP note for the day: Please understand that gains over time (or losses) seem to depend on initial level (quite significantly). The lower you start, the easier it is to show bigger gains and vice versa. This explains many of the supposed "miracles."
Could be argued that most curriculums are intentionally flawed, potentially opening the doors to all kinds of lawsuits. Consider the implications: families suing companies for being culturally destructive. For gender bias. For printing revisionist history. This could be huge.
"When politicians try to legislate a science of reading, they should consult with scientists not journalists, social media experts, or representatives of special interest groups."
Interesting to hear Steve Bannon grilling the founder of Moms for Liberty this week about why the group fared so poorly last week. She didn't have an answer but I do: education is a major weakness for MAGA

Remote work is not a distraction. It's a chance to concentrate. Government workers were 28% more productive on days when supervisors assigned them tasks to do at home, because they were more focused. The office is good for interaction, but it's not always ideal for deep work.
As a disabled law professor who has benefited from accommodations, I vehemently reject this article's claims. The rise in accommodations isn't fraud—it's progress. It means more disabled students are accessing higher education. This is cause for celebration, not suspicion. (1/5)
My latest about disability accommodations in higher ed for @chronicle @ChronicleReview. It's a very controversial topic, to say the least, and inspires strong opinions. I hope this will help shift the conversation in a productive direction: chronicle.com/article/do-col…
