The more I study Al Shanker, the clearer it becomes that his core values and vision for public education are exactly what’s absent from today’s labor movement. #unionism

“High-stakes testing” once meant students paid the price for lack of progress. Today the system does. Understanding that shift matters… b/c the phrase is now a rhetorical devise used to discredit testing to avoid accountability… rather than describe who actually bears the
