On The Evil Economics Of Judging Teachers
@deepomega wouldn't America's size and not-homogeneousness be an argument in favor of not applying the same standardized tests everywhere and letting teachers figure out what's best for their situation?

On How Much Can You Demand?
@riotnrrd not having demands is almost a kind of non-violent resistance in itself. Right now you could just say the occupiers are just hovering, which makes the people they are hovering over uncomfortable. The political conversation has already changed from government spending to inequality, and OWS deserves much of the credit for that. If they had issued demands news cycles ago, we wouldn't be talking about them anymore.
But if it's so important to come up with a big demand, it should be cultural and not political: demand a society that recognizes other success besides wealth.
