Re: Austin ISD's Partnership With IDEA

I agree that an "acceptable" rating isn't good enough, and no doubt IDEA has accomplishments worth commending.

But to claim that those in Austin opposed to AISD's partnership with IDEA are simply "uncomfortable with IDEA’s culture of high expectations, rigorous academic program, and commitment to get each and every student to and through college" is, at best, proof that yet another administrator has failed to really listen to this community or, at worst, a disingenuous ploy to gloss over, yet again, the legitimate concerns raised during the past few months over the validity of IDEA's accomplishments.

Re: How Are We Signing Into This Blog?

But when I click on your name, Christian, I'm taken to your Facebook page, where I'm given no information because we're not "friends." And that's okay -- we don't know each other. I just want some contextual information, or perhaps I want to know if you have a blog or tweet, etc.

My Facebook profile doesn't serve as my public, online identity. Twitter doesn't either, though I do follow and am followed by (a few) people I don't know, unlike Facebook.

As such, using either my Facebook or Twitter account as my generic login everywhere doesn't really make sense to me.

I applaud Bob Funk and the rest of the commenters here for offering their own analysis, as my contribution is only this:

FWIW, I'll continue to renew my subscription and remain one of the very few who even see the cover of the New Yorker in a typical week.
