Rarely do these words ever ring true....."I'm from the government...and I'm here to help."

Seed applications are open!

WATCH: Kids aren’t ready for smartphones—but we hand them one anyway. This 60-sec PSA shows the burden we’re asking them to carry.

The Health and Human Services Department told 40 states to remove references to gender identity from their federally funded sex education programs. When California refused to comply, the agency terminated its nearly $6 million-a-year grant. chalkbeat.org/2025/08/26/tru…

More of this, please.

The problem isn’t people misreading NAEP scores. The problem is kids can’t read—and defenders of balanced literacy still want to debate definitions instead of solutions.

Rest in peace to Roberta Flack. Her cover of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” is one of the most beautiful songs in pop history. Clint Eastwood played the entire 5 minutes+ in an extraordinarily touching scene in “Play Misty For Me.”

The kids are not okay.

Are you a visionary founding leader who wants to launch a new charter school or do you lead a high-performing charter school that is seeking to expand/replicate? The CSGF Seed Grant is for founding leaders who want to launch a new school or leaders seeking to expand or replicate operating high-performing public charter schools in Fall 2025 or Fall 2026.

What's the worst thing you've ever left on an airplane?

“The question isn’t whether kids these days are addicted to their phones… The question is whether we are willing to use schools to try to break that addiction. Or at least to give kids a 7-hour break from it, 180 days a year.” @KateCohen92 @PostOpinions washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
