I worry our public education system is being gutted. I also worry that racial segregation in our schools is deepening. To me, these “pods” risk increasing the racial and class separation already cemented by residential segregation and gentrification in US neighborhoods.
Wary to send their kids to school in the fall, some parents are coming up with alternatives—like joining other households to form their own little schools on.wsj.com/32NZUUf

Yet another excellent analytic piece this morning on the economic impact of the child-care crisis. Can this sort of convergence finally lead to political action? vox.com/2020/7/16/21324192/c…

This is worth a read: a thought-provoking reminder that education reform isn’t a cure-all. As a supporter of education reform, I agree that fixing educational inequality requires doing more to address the broader, systemic sources of economic inequality. theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

“What so many black women know is what I learned as I sat at the end of a hallway with a dead baby in my arms.” Please read this by @tressiemcphd, then, if you have not already done so, buy her book. mag.time.com/Adg8QNq

This is so incredibly shameful. Seeking asylum is not a crime. Shooting tear gas at asylum seekers lacks a basic level of humanity. This is your government. This is our government. Do not look away.

Here is my earned writer wisdom on my 43rd birthday: Confidence doesn't mean you think you're great; it's the realization that you're just like everyone else, and therefore every thought you have is valid and earned.
