The Gadfly Daily’s week in review

The Education Gadfly / February 18, 2012

Here’s your weekly look around at all the great commentary on the Gadfly Daily’s blogs:

• Terry Ryan broke down the flaws in Diane Ravitch’s criticism of the Cleveland mayor’s education reform plan on the Ohio Gadfly Daily, and a Chicago charter school network under fire for fining its students isn’t all that out of the ordinary, argued Adam Emerson on the Choice Words blog.

• On the Common Core Watch blog, Kathleen Porter-Magee observed that the advice on Common Core implementation just keeps getting worse, while Peter Meyer pointed out on Board's Eye View that the “poverty myth” in education just won’t go away.

• On Stretching the School Dollar, Chris Tessone highlighted a promising school finance plan in Utah that would tie dollars to students, not schools. Over on Flypaper, Checker Finn noted that business leaders are lining up for yesterday’s reform agenda, while Mike wondered if ESEA waivers are really worth the trouble for most states.
