Eliminating the Department of Education Won’t Fix Education’s Dysfunctions, But Neither Will Denying They Exist

3 weeks ago | edpost.com | Robin Lake

Proposals to eliminate the Department of Education (ED) have been a Republican talking point since Ronald Reagan first suggested it in the early 1980s. The Trump administration’s executive order to weaken the agency is just the latest attempt. While the stated goal is to cut waste, reduce inefficiencies, and refocus education on students, there’s a reason ED has never been eliminated.

I remain attentive to thoughtful perspectives on policy changes impacting our education system. One of the sharpest thinkers I've encountered in this field is Kim Smith, CEO of LearnerStudio.

The Trump administration’s gutting of theInstitute of Education Scienceson Monday temporarily disables an essential source of data on a host of basic information — everything from high school graduation rates and school safety to which neighborhoods have the highest quality schools. At its most basic, it tells Americans how well U.S. schools educate young people at a time when the public is more focused than ever on basic questions of achievement.
The NAEPs of Wrath

2 months ago | edpost.com | Chris Stewart

How did you recognize NAEP Day this year? Many reveled in platitudes and short stories, mostly fiction, told to confirm our biases for this or that educational intervention. I’m reasonably intelligent, but I have always been terrible at NAEPery, even when I try my best. I usually grasp for a simple story that says everything is a failure and we need everything to change. That's not helpful or fun anymore.
Learn, Baby, Learn: MLK Defended Self-Determination in Black Education

Jan 16, 2025 | edpost.com | Sharif El-Mekki

Every Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we must navigate competing realities: the enduring salience of his words and the ways they are all too often misused, the ways they are stripped of context, distorted, and wielded to undermine those efforts he would champion. This time of year, we will again be subjected to the twisting and whitewashing of his words and legacy.
MLK Taught Us We Can't Wait For The Perfect Allies

Jan 15, 2025 | edpost.com | Charles Cole

It’s that time of year. Get ready for the whitewashing and sanitary retellings of who MLK was and what his holiday should mean. Instead of spending another year starting and stopping at “I Have a Dream,” let’s approach this civil rights icon and his legacy with some common sense for our people. Martin Luther King Jr. worked closely with President Lyndon B. Johnson, a man who came from a deeply segregated South and held biases many of us would rightly call unacceptable today.

So, How Did I Do? A Response to My 2024 Predictions on Education

Jan 8, 2025 | edpost.com | Robin Lake

Last February, I went out on a limb and madeten predictions about what we’d see this year regarding policy and practice. At the time, I said: “Unlike cable news pundits, who rarely hold themselves accountable for their (often faulty) predictions, we will grade ourselves and report back at the end of the year. Some of these predictions are optimistic, some less so.” In the spirit of accountability, here’s how I did. 1.
