					<description><![CDATA[This week two First Grade teachers in Tulsa, Oklahoma, took a principled stand against subjecting their students to any more abuse in the name of standardized testing. Their story and the letter they sent home to parents made waves, and they are likely to be fired for doing what’s best for their students. 

I couldn’t help but remember a few months ago when I did the opposite, and caved in the face of almost no pressure. I’m reposting this as a confession in contrast to their courage and their conviction. My other rebuilt posts retain their original posting dates for logistical reasons; this one will not. It was originally posted April 16th, 2014. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mr./Ms. NewSupt – let me help you out. You’re walking into a no-win situation in many ways, but that’s OK. We’re teachers and we know all about devoting time and energy to futile efforts. In order to help smooth your transition to power and better navigate the rocky political shores of #oklaed, I’ve compiled a handy dandy guide for your pedagogical and popular success.

This is not a countdown – you may move these around as you see fit and the blinding wisdom stays just as blinding. There’s no cost for these, either. I’m not seeking patronage or fiscal gain. This is for you. And our teachers. And Oklahoma. This is for… *sniff*… THE CHILDREN.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Oklahoma State Department of Education recently released its infamous “A-F Grade Report” for districts across the state. Why? Let&#8217;s look at their own A-F Frequently Asked Questions page, shall we? Note three things about this, keeping in mind the OKSDE chose the question, wrote the answer, and put it first on their own FAQ: &#8230; <a href="https://bluecerealeducation.com/blog/oksde-f-school-report-card/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">#OKSDE &#038; The A-F School Report Card</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You ever across something while browsing online, and wish you hadn't? I believe it was Tosh.0 that did a segment called "Things You Can't Unsee." Sometimes they just gross you out, or cause emotional distress, and sometimes they're just inappropriately violent or pornographic or just plain wrong.

This one is none of those, except perhaps 'just plain wrong.' It's from the OKSDE website, and of course it's about Data-Tracking, and Value Added Measurement, and all sorts of other bureaucratic verbiage designed to disguise a much simpler phrase, "blame everything on teachers whatever it takes." It’s also the death knell of my efforts to focus on the positives in education.]]></description>
