Good story framing the the issues surrounding the algebra in 8th grade debate. What I think it’s missing though is more discussion about what it takes to get kids ready for algebra in the 8th grade. Take a look at this paper: https://t.co/3EFA2PWELu

I think every kid, in every zip code, in every state should have access to every education opportunity possible.
I guess, for some, that isn’t the consensus view. https://t.co/d1FAeWwKv1

At least four more states will review the new AP Black studies course to see if it conflicts with their laws restricting the teaching of race, an indication that the controversy swirling around the class in Florida could spiral. W/

Rates of teacher attrition and turnover coming into the current 2022-23 school year in WA were higher than in any of the previous 36 years of state data. This is quite consistent with recent work from @schwartz_hl and @mkdiliberti using national data. See https://t.co/F5d9svVREa. https://t.co/83P8umXlYy

Indeed, the WA attrition rate is as high as it's been in the last 35+ years. But let's dig a bit deeper…
Much of the increase in attrition is being driven by early career teachers exiting. This is a very similar finding to prior @BUWheelock work from MA.

Today I published a feature I've been working on for a long time, about after-school care in this country.
It's a story about workers, kids, and parents. It's a story about our economy, our schools, our safety net.
