Can't wait to dig into the story of how Cal Poly Humboldt started a bachelor's program at Pelican Bay prison this year. Thanks to @EdWriters and @hechingerreport for partnering for this project. ewa.org/members-news/a…

Proud of my latest story about "alternative" ways to handle student misbehavior. I think it contains lots of interesting ideas, but I know the lede kicks. @tellEWA educationnext.org/to-fix-student…

Thanks to all who shared their expertise allowing me to explain CT's criminal justice gains. @DanMalloyCT, @SteveStafstrom, @MikeLawlor, Melvin Medina, @xtina4justice, and @jkangbrown. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Just did my first CT story in years - it's a look at criminal justice reform over the past couple of decades. Some impressive stats but the racial disparity remains alarming. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Saw this in a job description for an editorial writer recently. "You must have a knowledge and belief ... that the greatest failing of most elected officials is hubris." Hubris? I guess saying "most" is cover.

What's more surprising? Saw a bear ambling through the neighborhood this morning and then I noticed the neighbor's kids waiting for the school bus. Who's still going to school on the first day of summer?

A 3,500-word story on Bard's early colleges doesn't happen without a slew of patient teachers, students, and admins taking time to answer my many questions. Thanks @STremaine, @stevenmazie, Leon Botstein, Dumaine Williams, Carla Stephens, and @tvanderark. educationnext.org/bringing-colle…

Or just marvel at President Botstein's awesome study, captured by @nataliekeyssar.

My deep dive on @BardCollege's early college high schools is up! Learn how @Oprah was vital to starting these schools, how they have evolved from Leon Botstein's original idea, and what it's like to be inside their classrooms today. educationnext.org/bringing-colle…

Huge surprise at last night's @BenFolds concert at @RPlayhouse. In a solo show, he played "You Don't Know Me" with the audience humming @respektor's part. "I'm kind of digging" doing this song this way, he said. Agreed.setlist.fm/setlist/ben-fo…
