Leaving It Up to the Locals Impedes Oregon’s Much-Needed Reading Recovery Unlike other states, Oregon funds its 197 school districts but does little to hold them to account for their outcomes.

Excellent reporting by @oregonjournalism.bsky.social β€”OR is 50th in readingβ€”yes 50th!!! Other states are doing things, Oregon leadership is not. This could change but it will require adults to prioritize kids over their own comfort. www.wweek.com/news/state/2...

I may have to respectfully disagree, now that I have completed half of the puzzle, and in particular, the half containing Andy's nostril. I'm going to call it a draw.

Oregon: 50th in the country in reading and our @tinakotek.bsky.social thinks β€œso far so good.” Other states are making changes so all children are taught to read, why is Oregon privileging adult comfort over children’s futures?

I was listening to @thebugle.bsky.social w/ @tiffstevenson.bsky.social & @joshgondelman.bsky.social when my very fit postal worker knocked. And lo and behold, it was….a BUGLE PUZZLE.

who argues that there are geniuses everywhere, you want to educate tons of people b/c you never know where they are. Tesla got $800M in gov funding, we don’t know what could have come from that money if spread to more people.

I have to disagree w/ @felixsalmon.com on the Elon question. As @espiers.bsky.social started to talk about, NASA was gutted, so was higher ed, so we don’t know how many other great things would have come from spreading funds around. My favorite on this is @albertwenger.bsky.social -1/2

Oregon: last in reading, Dems in charge, don't believe other states can teach us anything. We have a crisis, and the Dems act like all we need is more $$. More $ won't solve this crisis. TY @oregonjournalism.bsky.social for speaking up for kids. www.oregonjournalismproject.org/leaving-it-u...

Here in Minneapolis, hundreds of clergy from all over the country have been deployed into the streets to participate in ICE/DHS watch.

The hail from a range of religious traditions, and have come from all over.

This particular group is in a heavily immigrant neighborhood.

How Oregon sets education funding goals and measures school success could transform under new proposal At stake is how much money the state needs to spend to get excellent academic outcomes from schools, and how to measure those outcomes.

It is amazing to see @orsenjaneensollman.bsky.social & @rickiruizor.bsky.social continually stand up for Oregon's kids. Many people don't want change, but it's time to prioritize kids over adult comfort. Great to see Dems who know what real leadership looks like.
