A few notes:

• My latest post at The Collaborateurs talks about my own journey as an alternative certification teacher to where I am now. [CTQ]
• Phillippe Copeland questions the meaning of Juneteenth, especially when there are more black men incarcerated than were enslaved back then. Just saying. [GOOD]
• Diane Ravitch’s latest target is Michael Bloomberg, who uses some financial legerdemain to buy out and silence his critics. For New Yorkers, we’ve seen this all along. [Diane Ravitch]
• Unions matter, part 1932810: Jennifer Martin believes (and I tend to agree) that unions matter when it comes to teacher advocacy. [EdWeek]
