NYC DOE accused of failing students with special needs, but sometimes not even a court order can...

Concerning this is the second statement in a row with critical information about the leadership/management of the DOE not issued by DOE (last night's announcement came from city hall). We cover NYC schools every day would love to write about this but don't even have a copy...

One interesting tidbit from this story. Talkspace CEO said at presser they’d IDd 50 teens as moderate-high risk of suicide. I asked abt it later and he clarified they were not flagged by therapists, but by an AI program that scans text therapy convos looking for signs of risk.

It can be difficult for some parents to have conversations with their children about how they're doing in school. Many parents are left in the dark. As part of our series "The Science of Reading," @DougWilliamsTV looked into how parents can break through. cbsloc.al/3HyjEOR

The Science of Reading: Parents of New York City schools students must stay involved

One study shows 93% of K-12 parents in the city believe their child is at or above grade level in reading. The reality is just 55% of students are.
