Credentialism is not always harmful, but in US "public" education and public health is is harmful.

Credentialism gives teachers' organized crime its power. Credentialism in public health gives false science.

Two grandchildren are in parochial settings mostly in erson school since Sep 2020. Other grandchild in public school at home until early March, another district in county open all year. Difference is teachers union, all in "public" school.

Never exclude malicious intent when it is a feasible alternative.

Amazing work, hombre, verdad. Who owns the AFT? I seriously doubt it is Weingarten. My youngest child has been fully remote (NYC) after a disastrous trial of partial in-person in January when she and one boy were the only kids in a class kept at 60 degrees and the teachers moved from room to room so she didn't even get to stand up and ate lunch at her desk. She was so miserable we pulled her out after two weeks. NYC is an open-air psychiatric ward.

el gato:

first opinion piece i've read from you.

i also subscribe to taibbi and greenwald

your content was solid ... but i could have used a summary or paragraph at the top as i had to pick out the lede from your pages and pages of content

keep it up. i'm a huge fan of substack giving an outlet for long form content.

ps - experimenting with your zero caps formatting ... it's weird for me ...
