Good stuff Chad. Genuine question: did union officials really expect the $ would get kids back on track - in terms of achievement? I think they felt like getting the $ was the win, and that for Biden *giving* the $ to political ally was a win. Not sure if any reporter ever found an inside Cardona source about how he really felt.
I guess that's right, Mike, the money was the win. My critique is the Biden Administration had 4 years to respond to the crisis on their hands, and they never really rose to the moment, and even at times tried to pretend it wasn't happening.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful post and the webinar this morning. Both so inspired me that I wrote a post about the webinar on Substack. Two points above are especially resonating with me: 1. It's not just $, but how we spend it that matters. And 2, that this story was so buried in our national news outlets. I guess the news that our reading and math scores are so low doesn't seem so newsworthy because it's not really new. That is depressing.

We were totally shut out of the website on release day so it wasn’t just you! Same thing happened last year.
