Steven Singer had a stellar year in 2017. He published a book and he posted some brilliant commentaries. He even got censored by Facebook, not once, but twice.
Here are his top ten posts.
His #1 Post was about the ignorance and arrogance of Betsy DeVos.
His #2 Post was about U.S. schools. He said, “They are NOT failing. They are among the best in the world.”

Yeah for Steven Singer. I truly mean this.
Steven Singer brought up one purposely overlooked positive news about US real public schools: “American elementary and middle school students have improved on the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study every four years since the tests began in 1995. They are above the international average in all categories and within a few percentage points of the global leaders (something rarely mentioned on the nightly news).”
Imagine a year when PUBLIC SCHOOLS published and advertised and bought billboards promoting their successes.
