Thank you @CityJournal and Ray Domanico for bringing attention to the crisis of closing NY Catholic schools - it is heartbreaking, and to Ray's point, avoidable. city-journal.org/article/new-yo…

We used to worry that the last urban Catholic school in NYC would close the day that publicly funding tax credits passed.
Last week the Arch announced the 2 of our former NY Partnership Schools are closing—just days before this and the Federal Tax Credit bill will launch. Tragic

Sharing the deeply bittersweet news that I will be moving on from my day-to-day responsibilities as Partnership Sup't later this year. Too much gratitude to share in one tweet, but I am so thankful for every minute I have spent working with this true company of heroes.

This is spot on. The process of achieving true excellence is similar even if the work is very different.
And once you see what true excellence looks like somewhere, you can’t help but see the chasm between good and excellent everywhere.

One of the best ideas I learned from Kobe Bryant: “Don’t copy the what. Copy the how” Kobe would study greatness in any domain. Sports, music, business, art, whatever. This is why: “No matter what discipline you are in, there’s a common denominator in how we approach our craft. The attention to detail. The level of commitment. Those things are the same across the board. That is my message: Don’t look at what I did but *how* I did it. The how. And then you can transfer that over to any profession and any discipline.”

To NYC Catholic school supporters, politicians discussing school choice in NY feels a lot like Lucy holding the football. But one day...just maybe...
So we beat on, boats against the current...

Narrative disrupted:
"There’s a widespread conceit that the only place where kids with special needs can get an education is at a public school with the right facilities and trained staff. Catholics in St. Louis put that claim to rest"

"The courts may ultimately decide that Catholic schools are eligible for public charter funding, but just because we can do something does not mean we should." Another thought-provoking piece by @kportermagee @PartnershipPost americamagazine.org/politics-socie…

"Poor writing transfers the work from the writer to the reader. Good writing, on the other hand, nearly reads itself, allowing the reader to spend more time thinking about the ideas than pulling out meaning. ..."

"Despite nearly $200 billion in emergency federal spending on K-12 schooling, students are doing worse than a decade ago, and lower-performing students are today less capable of doing math than they were 35 years ago." @The74 @DavidSteinerJHU the74million.org/article/americ…

"...students in most grades showed slower than average growth in math and reading, when compared with students before the pandemic. That means learning gaps created during the pandemic are not closing — if anything, the gaps may be widening."

"In the rare silver-lining department, NCES reports that Catholic school scores 'were not measurably different' between 2019-20 and 2022-23....Catholic schools reopened much faster while teachers unions kept public schools closed." @PartnershipPost @WSJ wsj.com/articles/naep-…
