I feel like a huge issue with student misbehavior is the absolute lack of students owning their behavior. I’ve tried talking to disruptors in the hallway and all I get is : “What? I wasn’t doing anything. Why are you picking on me? I never said that. What about the rest of the

If your school or district is “amplifying learner-centered experiences to cultivate innovation” it’s highly likely that students aren’t learning much & teachers are exhausted. No amount of fancy ed jargon can replace solid, teacher-led instruction of knowledge-rich curriculum.

For #Illinois residents who have no interest in becoming part of Indiana but long for better representation, there’s a New Illinois Convention happening on April 4th and 5th in Bloomington to discuss an alternative movement aimed at making a new state out of most of Illinois

The modern obsession with "student engagement" is a category error. We don't ask surgeons to make scalpels fun for medical students or engineers to make calculus entertaining. Education is about the transmission of essential knowledge, not performative enthusiasm.

Everything I've learned about education in the last 40 years summarized in one post. If you expose unmotivated students to motivated students, the better students will get pulled down more than the less motivated students will be pulled up

In an interview in New Hampshire with Adam Sexton, Gov. Jelly Belly claims that Democrats care about lowering the cost of living for middle class and working class people ... Seriously? Illinoisans have one of the highest tax burdens in the country thanks to Democrats like

When one student disrupts the entire class daily, it’s not just a discipline issue, it’s a theft of education from the other 25 kids. Inclusion shouldn’t mean sacrificing everyone’s learning.

We’ve created a school system where the students who follow the rules get the least attention… because all the energy goes into managing the ones who don’t.

Governor JB Pritzker boasts, "I've stood up for working families, raised the minimum wage to $15, and lifted Illinois' standard of living." U.S. News & World Report 2024 tells a different story: Illinois ranks #36 overall, #50 in Fiscal Stability (dead last), #45 in Natural

More and more, I’m starting to realize that a quality education is actually pretty simple Decent curriculum. Basic competence instruction. A behavior policy that’s actually enforced. But you have policymakers and consultants who latch onto a new, overly complicated, ineffective

PBIS trains kids to expect a prize for doing the bare minimum. It insults those who do the right thing because it's right and rewards those who'll only behave when bribed to do so.

Now there are *two* reasons to question the quasi-therapeutic role we're asking schools and teachers to play: it distracts from the academic goals we're already struggling to meet. And it's not working.

As it is the end of the school year, and millions of students will be graduating in the next few years, it is worth remembering: Graduation rates are one of the most gameable metrics in all of education and some percentage of those graduates will have gotten there only through a

Pritzker’s $55.2 B budget isn’t balancing Illinois—it’s bleeding it dry. 📉 37% boost in state spending since ’19, 49 tax hikes, record pension debt … and still a projected $5.2B deficit by FY 29. This is a fiscal death spiral.
