If you're trying to make sense of the sharp rightward swing among voters in South Texas, read @Perla_Trevizo's excellent, deeply reported piece about how immigration politics are playing out in Val Verde County, once a Democratic stronghold.

My mom just told me she cancelled her subscription to The Washington Post. She reads every one of my stories. It was a heartbreaking call.
I understand why she did it, but I asked her to reconsider. To anyone who has cancelled or is thinking about cancelling, here’s what I said:

The numbers on college closures are staggering: Nearly 300 colleges and universities offering an associate degree or higher closed from 2008 to 2023. @ReporterMarina and @oliviarsanchez created a tool to track this seismic shift in higher education.

As the climate crisis deepens, more teachers will be asked to modify their lessons and introduce different content when disasters strike. I explore how educators did that after Hurricane Beryl in my latest climate & ed newsletter mailchi.mp/586e64311217/teac…

In Norway, having a joyful, secure childhood is a right enshrined into law. Child care isn't just a place to put children so parents can work, it’s a place where childhood is protected, with access guaranteed and heavily subsidized for all. My latest:

"The government’s view isn’t that child care is a place to put children so parents can work, or even to prepare children for the rigors of elementary school. It’s about protecting childhood." @jackiemader on what it looks like to enshrine early ed in law hechingerreport.org/norway-l…

As free-tuition programs have multiplied, so have questions and doubts. Are low-income students benefiting? Is free tuition leading to more college graduates? hechingerreport.org/proof-po… @jillbarshay explains

While some high schools move away from math pathways that lead to Calculus, this group believes access to the subject (and honors and AP math courses) are the key to closing equity gaps in math achievement for Black, Hispanic and low income students.

Louisiana imposed a total ban on cell phones in schools this year and it turns out...people kind of love it.
Teachers are reporting big improvements in focus & social interaction, and many students are happy to unplug.
Great reporting by @elysecarmosino

I debated whether to share this. I did apologize on the air. But I invite you to read my introspection on @BulletinAtomic of how extreme weather 📈 driven by global warming has changed me. Frankly, YOU should be shaken too, and demand #ClimateActionNow. thebulletin.org/2024/09/hurr…

Is becoming a highly effective school like dieting? TNTP analysis finds no particular educational philosophies or materials are needed to accomplish this rare feat. Like diets that don’t dictate which foods you can and cannot eat. hechingerreport.org/proof-po…

3 years ago Gannett often sent reporters (like me!) to help smaller newsrooms report on Ida & other disasters
Today nearly all those journalists we went to help are gone, including longtimers who were the ONLY reason I produced anything coherent about a place I’d never been
