From Politico.
“JEB BUSH TO DISCUSS THE STATE OF EDUCATION: Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush tonight will discuss the “State of Education” at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. During a big education policy speech in December, he called for an “earthquake” when it comes to education policy and federal education funding. Bush, a close ally of DeVos, said, “This new administration and Congress have the real opportunity to bring wholesale disruption.” He called for an expansion of school choice and for Congress to “cut strings that come with federal education funding and let states innovate with those dollars.” The speech starts at 6:30 p.m. ET. Watch the livestream.”

It’s alarming that he still receives platforms.

No more disruption is needed in education unless it puts students first. Where we really need disruption is in politics. We need more politicians that represent the people, not corporations or the 1%.

Government schools!
That’s really the extent of the ed reform discussion of 90% of schools in the US.
Bush will devote the vast, vast majority of his speech to cheerleading charters and vouchers.
If public schools are mentioned at all it will be in a derogatory, demeaning manner or a throw-away phony line about how he’s an “agnostic”
Ed reform is such an echo chamber they don’t even recognize this. They can’t hear themselves.

Florida has lock-step followed Jeb Bush’s ed reform agenda for 20 years.
Shouldn’t they be beating Massachusetts on test scores by now?
What gives? Why such lousy return on all that privatization?

The saddest part is that every word Bush says could have been said by Duncan or any other reformer.
They all sound the same. Whole phrases and words are identical.
I feel like I could write a DeVos/Duncan/Bush speech just rearranging various phrases.
This isn’t a “debate”. It’s a marketing campaign.

Is Bush still selling garbage ed tech to the public schools he loathes and wants to eradicate? Come on. You-all know better than to buy from a flim-flammer. Send him packing. Use your head.
His hard sell on ed tech product should be like a neon “don’t buy” sign to every public school district in the country.

If you want to find public schools on the US Department of Education site, look to the Ed Tech section- it’s the only place public schools are mentioned.
Apparently the only use they have for public schools is as big buyers of ed tech product.
Our schools are good enough to spend billions of dollars with vendors, but not good enough to be invited to ed reform conferences.
