A lovely read ahead of #TheGradingConference in a few weeks.

I especially loved "a bunch of quantitative legalese masquerading as pedagogy" as a turn of phraseโ€”perhaps because it so accurately describes where I, and probably many others, started.

Educational research funded by the NSF is a threat to authoritarianism and plutocracy.

Our work details how to shift schools away from being sites of social reproduction to places of care, social mobility, critical citizenship, and liberation.
