I live in Chicago and when my husband and I have children, I fully intend to send them to CPS. People are shocked when I say that, but I know that regardless of what school my children attend, they will get a great education because we value education in our home. As the child of 2 public school educators, I know that…

I... really don’t get it. The gender-neutral terms sound cooler across the board. Firefighter > fireman, police officer > policeman, gunner > missleman, infantier > infantryman. Why would you complain about getting a cooler job title? And if it really ~~doesn’t matter~~ and if objecting to being called by the wrong…

But how will they know they are *real men* if they don’t have “man” in their job title?

Are you from Maryland? You know a lot about this woman there. I know nothing about Maryland schools (I’m in Texas!) or any of these people. But I’ve worked with several great TFA veterans and teachers. The program itself is horrible and generally TFA teachers do not continue, but there are always individual success…

That’s always a tricky situation. It increases inequality between schools, but at the same time, I don’t know how we can improve non-charter public schools while they are still under the thumb of testing and state/fed requirements. Charter schools have a lot more freedom. It’s not a long-term solution, but short term…

If your identity has to be tied to having your gender in your job title ... #masculinitysofragile

The navy’s army takes a faltering step into the late 20thC, their toxic fans act like crybabies over it. God along knows how they’d react if the navy’s army finally caught up to the 21stC. The navy’s army and its fans have always been a festering pool of everything that is wrong, not just with “macho” culture, but of…

“Political correctness” is a nonsense phraze used by those who resist behaving honorably toward populations other than their own.

We in other branches of military always refer to them as “Bullet Stopper Man”

Allow me to address the Marines quotes in the article:

Except that education is the only answer.

As long as Missileman still gets to wear his/her bloody cape.

Grow up, cheesedicks.

Yes they do steal money & other resources from the public school system, and yet fail to yield higher outcomes/test scores for the students who attend them. If any positive can be found in the whole charter school system, it’s that they help illustrate just how pervasive poverty is and how critical fixing the social…

“It doesn’t matter to me at all, but I’m going to complain about it nonetheless.”

Apparently, you care and are you really sorry?

But “gunner” is shorter than “missileman”, and none of the changes include the word “woman”. You’re not making any sense.

Yeah, if you like neoliberal educational policies like charter schools.

Santileses’s other appointment, though—Alison Perkins-Cohen—sounds like she’s on the moderate end of the charter-spectrum.

“Human capitol?” That just sounds like some creepy soylent green shit.
