Does the data support charters? Does the data support test-centered schooling?

skrashen at Schools Matter - 5 minutes ago
Sent to the Wall Street Journal, March 12, 2014 "Cuomo steps up for charters," (editorial, March 10) claims that New York charter school students outperform students in nearby traditional schools. But charters can often be very selective in who they admit, and can expell "problem" students. Were these factors included in the New York analysis? Despite their advantages, studies show that in general charter schools do not do as well as public schools. "Shaking up the classroom," (March 11) notes that the Lindsay District has improved its passing rates on the California Academic Perfor... more »

Hacked Email from U.S. Army Attache in Ukraine - For False Flags to occur so U.S. can take military action against Russia

Sherrie Questioning All at Sherrie Questioning All - 6 minutes ago
Putin is a Big Thorn in the U.S. side and they want to do something about him. The U.S. created the problem in Ukraine to be able to control the country and the resources. The U.S. was/is behind the revolution due to them wanting the President out who was pro Russia and not Europe. The U.S. and Western governments inserted a Pro-European acting President.

Self Publishing Is Going to Just Get Bigger, Embrace It

Martyn Daniels at Brave New World - 12 minutes ago
Today we face the prospect of drowning in tidal wave self-published eBooks, YouTube videos, photos, independent music videos and tracks etc which are loaded onto sites alongside and often more frequently than traditionally produced works. Historically these self-published works have been regarded by many as substandard works, looked down upon by the traditional marketplace who referred to them by the term ‘vanity publishing’. Some would even still argue that if you can’t get a publisher, producer or third party to publish your work, then it must be of questionable quality and of ... more »

Satire: “G.O.P. Race Turns Ugly as Paul Head-butts Cruz”

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 17 minutes ago
*“**G.O.P. Race Turns Ugly as Paul Head-butts Cruz”* by Andy Borowitz WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)— “In a preview of what promises to be a heated race for the Republican Presidential nomination in 2016, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) head-butted his rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on the floor of the United States Senate this morning. The melee “came without warning,” one observer said, as Sen. Paul took to the well of the Senate to give a speech recommending a strong but measured response to the crisis in Ukraine. Almost immediately, a furious and beet-red Sen.

Interesting and loaded language from NYT's- There is after all going to be a referendum. Would it really be an annexation? Or would it be the right of the people of Crimea to choose?

I will take her out somewhere in perfectly normal clothes, only to discover she had a sparkly dress-up top on underneath her jacket. I love the creativity and fun that dress-ups bring and she loves the chance to show her personality through her clothes.

SELLING THE COUP BACK IN THE USA

Bruce K. Gagnon at Organizing Notes - 1 hour ago
Back in the USA ..... Obama is set to play host to Ukraine's 'interim' Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk (Yats). The two will discuss the $1 billion aid package Washington has already pledged to Kiev. It's a sign of just how deeply involved America is in the Ukrainian crisis. The real purpose of the trip though is a sales job - to sell the new government of Ukraine, empowered by a US-NATO engineered coup d'etat, to the American people. The Obama administration must make the American people 'feel good' about this provocative intervention by the US in the affairs of Ukraine. It is ... more »

National Security State Unravelling?

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 hour ago
When the head of the CIA looks straight into the camera and says, "We wouldn't do that," is there anyone on the planet who doesn't interpret that to mean, "We did it; what do you think you can do about it?" Admission: I never voted for Dianne Feinstein for anything-- not for San Francisco City Council, not for mayor and not, ever, for the U.S. Senate. When Jello Biafra ran against her for mayor, I was an enthusiastic backer. She won though… she won all her races. And she's usually a voice for Establishment conservative liberalism. She's also been one of the Senate's major apologi... more »

Why does Maddow keep pounding Fort Lee?

bob somerby at the daily howler - 2 hours ago
*WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 2014* *We offer the first of two theories:* We sometimes find it depressing to discuss Rachel Maddow’s coverage of Fort Lee—to contemplate her hackneyed work, to contemplate the way such work has been accepted by liberals. Still, we said we’d offer two theories about this phenomenon—two possible ideas concerning what makes Rachel run. Today, we offer one. This morning’s theory follows an interesting night on the TV machine. Again last night, Maddow opened her program with two segments about Fort Lee. Her work had some interesting aspects.

IN SEARCH OF EVEN THE MOST BASIC SKILLS: Some students may not comprehend the Post!

bob somerby at the daily howler - 3 hours ago
*WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 2014* *Part 3—We can’t comprehend the Times:* Last Sunday, in an irate editorial, the Washington Post denounced the impending changes to the SAT. The College Board “appears to be...making the SAT easier,” the editors railed, presuming a fact the Post had not reported. On the facing page, a supposition-rich opinion column was built on the same presumption. Ditto for an opinion column the Post published one day before. For a test like the SAT, it isn’t entirely clear what it means to say that the test is getting easier—getting “dumbed down.” The SAT isn’t a pass... more »

Keeping Corporate America White and Privileged

Jim Horn at Schools Matter - 4 hours ago
If you thought the SAT was just for keeping the riffraff out of Harvard and for keeping Brown white, then think again. The SAT is becoming a standard measure of high rolling job applications. As Stephen Colbert said last night, now with Wall Street asking for SAT scores from 30 years prior, you can be assured that one miserable day from 11th grade can determine the course of your entire life. So the SAT offers another generation an added benefit to reproducing educational inequality, so that now the bogus meritocracy system can be used to screen direct access to high paying jobs.

Iraq Reaches Post-03 High In Oil Exports In February 2014

Joel Wing at MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 4 hours ago
Iraq’s oil industry has been stuck on a 23-month plateau. After two new single point mooring stations were opened in Basra in early 2011 the country’s exports flat-lined. Finally, in February 2014 Iraq reached a new post-03 high in foreign sales with nearly 2.8 million barrels a day in exports. The question now is whether that was a one off event or whether the Oil Ministry is capable of sustaining that effort. In February Iraq reached a new mark in exports. It averaged 2.799 million barrels a day. The previous high was 2.62 million barrels, which was first achieved in October 2... more »

Using the Common Core Testing Delivery System to Label, Sort, Segregate

Jim Horn at Schools Matter - 4 hours ago
From WaPo: . . . .In New York for example, one of the first states to roll out the new curriculum, scores from Common Core tests dropped like a stone—and the achievement gaps dramatically widened. In 2012, prior to the Core’s implementation, the state reported a 12-point black/white achievement gap between average third-grade English Language Arts scores, and a 14-point gap in eighth-grade English Language Arts (ELA) scores.

North Carolina's Senate Race Is Even Screwier That You Thought

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 5 hours ago
The Republican Establishment and Kay Hagan both are rooting for the same candidate to win the Republican senate primary in North Carolina: House Speaker Thom Tillis. The latest PPP survey (in their home state) shows Tillis tied with an even further right sociopath and virulent racist, Greg Brannon, for the GOP nomination-- gigantic momentum for Brannon, who has been endorsed by some of the most fringe elements of the extremist far right, not just the teabaggers and Rand Paul, but Ann Coulter, Utah lunatic Mike Lee and FreedomWorks.

Yesterday, with great fanfare, Stephen Harper signed a free trade deal with South Korea. He claims that the deal signals prosperity for Canada. There will be winners. But, Tom Walkom writes, they won't include the auto industry: Some Canadian high-tech firms, including those making aerospace equipment, hope to profit from the deal announced Monday in Seoul. And perhaps some will. But the real Canadian winners will be beef and pork farmers, who will be able to sell their wares in South Korea duty-free.

Peter Cresswell at Not PC - 14 hours ago
[image: image] *Here’s the note about this week’s session with our friends at the Auckland University Economics Group…* In this week’s seminar we’ll be looking at one if the most prevalent fallacy in economics, which (when committed) leads to profound economic errors, and (when spotted) starts you thinking like a real economist. First highlighted by French Economist Frederic Bastiat in the nineteenth century in his essay That Which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen, the Broken Window Fallacy provides interesting insight into many of today's economic ideas and policies.

IN SEARCH OF EVEN THE MOST BASIC SKILLS: The Post and the Times both flooded the zone!

bob somerby at the daily howler - 1 day ago
*TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 2014* *Part 2—The SAT’s a big deal:* A wonderful moment occurred at the end of Tamar Lewin’s front-page report about the SAT. In Thursday’s New York Times, Lewin was reporting the ways the test will change in 2016. At the end of her report, she described some changes in the essay section, which will become optional. Note the wonderfully comical claim we highlight: LEWIN (3/6/14): Mr. Coleman emphasized that the three-hour exam—three hours and 50 minutes with the essay—had been redesigned with an eye toward reinforcing the skills and evidence-based thinking that... more »

China and Islam

Tarpley to McClendon Group; National Press Club Mormonism And Mitt -- What We Can Expect from Spike EP on Vimeo. You can't break Chinese Communism (what's left of it) with Christianity, Shock Therapy or Levi jeans. You *can* break it with Islam. The British Empire learnt this lesson by the 1830s. Islam literally (of course) means "submission". Islam is by it's nature anti-colonialist, psuedo-socialist and anti-masonic. The British, for example *invented * the Ba'hai faith in 1838 because the Muslims of the British Raj would not submit to British rule or acknowledge Imperial h... more »

Harper's South Korea Trip

LeDaro at LeDaro - 1 day ago
I am not against free trade per se, it has its benefits in expanding markets and bringing our world together. When people are trading with each other and making money, they are much less likely to wage war on each other. However, we should not uncritically accept free trade deals. We must be cognizant of national sovereignty and jobs. Harper is travelling to South Korea to seal a free trade deal with them, it would be Canada's first free trade deal with an Asia-Pacific country. There are some potential benefits to this deal - in particular for Canada's agricultural exports - howe... more »

“5 Things I Learned From Helping My Dad Die”

*“5 Things I Learned From Helping My Dad Die”* by Noah Michelson “During the summer of 2006, my father suddenly developed a deep, science-fiction-scary cough unlike anything my family had ever heard before. It wasn't the kind of cough that comes with an ordinary cold. It was the kind of cough that makes anyone who hears it - even strangers in the next aisle over at the grocery store - nervous. It was a warning. An omen. We just didn't know it. The cough persisted for months, and after an incorrect diagnosis of pneumonia, in September we finally learned that it was lung cancer.

The Charter School Advantage is Built on Discrimination and Inequity

Jim Horn at Schools Matter - 1 day ago
Heilig writing from Express-News: . . .The achievement gap is real, and it must be fixed. But I don't believe charter schools writ large have found the magic elixir. Charters are diverse, with many models. In recent years, so-called corporate charters have swept into San Antonio, dazzling the media with high test scores and college-going rates. These franchises include KIPP, IDEA, Great Hearts, BASIS and Carpe Diem. The reports from some of these corporate charters of 100 percent graduation rates and 100 percent of students attending college seem too good to be true. They are. A cl... more »

The Roswell Slides - Once Again

KRandle at A Different Perspective - 1 day ago
Although this might be considered kicking the sleeping dogs and stirring the pot unnecessarily, I think it important to address this issue one more time. I have, previously, denied that I was involved in the investigation of the slides that allegedly show the body of an alien creature. When I said that I hadn’t participated in the investigation, some saw that as a lie on my part, but the truth then, as now, is that other than a few limited enquiries made prior to learning more of the story, I did not investigate. To recap, about a year ago, rumors began to circulate that members of... more »

It is a time for action, not for just interviews, and a time for action by the whole world community, co-ordinating a concerted effort in on the level of diplomatic economy, but more than anything else, intelligence and operations to launch a full-scale struggle against world terror.

Listening to Pierre Poilievre defend the "Fair" Elections Act, you really have to ask yourself: Just who is this guy? He insists that voter fraud is a major problem. But Michael Harris writes that a report by Harry Neufeld concluded that voter fraud was virtually non existent in Canada. However, in what will surely go down as one of the funniest spectacles in Canadian political history, Poilievre has been quoting from a report to defend Bill C-23 even after the author of the report said he has misread it. That said, Poilievre manfully insists that *his* interpretation of Neufeld’s ... more »

Do you notice that it isn't just conservatives who don't care about protecting the planet but that there's also a fault line between young people-- who believe in a future-- and lots of old people, who just don't get all that worked up over the future? For the record, I'm old-- and I very much do care about preserving our planet.

*What is this contraption for?* What you should read today, since I am too busy to blog: This came out last week, but I missed it: Tensions rise between Beijing and Hong Kong, so Hng Kongers are increasingly looking to Taiwan. This was not hard to see coming -- colonizers reinforce and reconstruct local identities in opposition to their own. Beijing is simply too inept and too insecure to tolerate Hong Kong's autonomy in the long run. Sad, but it's (yet another) warning for Taiwan, as if Tibet and Xinjiang were not enough....

Rewriting history? Just because cigarette advertising is banned in F1 now, doesn't change that it was allowed back then. Ridiculous decision.

Now that you know, you cannot feign ignorance. Now that you’re aware of the problem, you cannot pretend you don’t care. To be concerned is to be human. To act is to care.” ~ by Vashti Quiroz-Vega
