Children losing a year of school. Teachers’s unions all companionable with the Democratic party since Jimmy Carter. Have a lot of delegates at Democratic conventions, are well organized.  Both for big government.   All genuine education reform begins with reducing the [stranglehold] of the teachers’s unions. Biden has four union members on his transition team. We’ll just throw federal dollars at the unions.  Vaccinations.  
​
The teachers’s unions are really against reopening schools, irrespective of vaccines; are hiding behind health.  Parents are getting a taste of what giving teachers’s unions power over the schools means—private schools and Catholic schools are open now; public schools are not; parents are fit to be tied. In DC there was a special program for high-need kids, about 7,000 of them; the teachers’s union killed the program.  Are also trying to destroy charter schools: condemning children to life on the margins.

Jason D. Delisle | American Enterprise Institute

Mark Schneider and Kim Clark | American Enterprise Institute 
We are only now beginning to create a “playbook” of institution-level interventions that might help the nation and many more students reach an important goal: a high-value college degree that leads to family-sustaining wages over the long run.

The policy imperative: Policy tools should create incentives for college completion
Sarah Turner | American Enterprise Institute 
There is no single cause of low rates of college completion, nor will there be a simple “magic bullet” policy solution. The challenge is persistent and complex, while the returns to increasing college completion are substantial.

Education reforms should obey Campbell’s law
Frederick M. Hess | Education Next 
In education, improvement efforts have frequently been blindsided by Campbell’s law. Attempts to evaluate schools and teachers using a few simple metrics, primarily reading and math scores, have given educators cause to do everything possible to boost those results.
