Education News, Analysis, and Commentary
Mike Goldstein is an educational polymath and one of the original guestbloggers here and a returner many times since – where he goes wild. But I think fish pics is a first.

Something you can do socially distant – and that lots of people like to do socially distant even when it’s not the norm? Fishing. The husband and daughter of Commodore Roza, who has some smart analysis of possible financial impacts from this crisis, got out for a day last week in Washington. And here’s Kevin …
Talk about using your hot stove time well. This is Kevin Kosar’s daughter. And she’s tying a wooly bugger. Herself. So while it’s not a picture of her with a fish, she’s been featured here before with fish, along with her dad, and a kid tying a fly would be more than good enough anyway …

If you’re going to come after Chad Aldeman, especially on pension policy, get your facts straight first. Underneath the current craziness, I …

Everyone is holding their breath for tomorrow, refreshing their favorite political sites. Not a lot happening. Politico looks at the student loan debt relief issue – it’s an important issue by itself and then also illustrative of a range of things that will be caught up in transition between administrations. The Times looks at the …
This guest blogpost is by Kevin Kosar, author of Failing Grades: The Federal Politics of Education, who edits the Federal Education Policy History website and is a senior fellow at the R Street Institute.
