Was photographing this homage to Shirley Chisholm at 7 am today, in Brooklyn, when a worker from the construction site across the street started yelling "F- you Donald Trump! F- you Donald Trump!"

just another balmy November day in Brooklyn

Any studies out there on tax revenue lost due to school choice policies? Because in a gig/freelance economy the loss is real!

I remain highly skeptical of separating pre-K from a comprehensive birth-to-5 (really B-18) care & education system, but this is a great deep dive by Bryce Covert at what it took to set up in NYC - an inarguably impressive achievement! - and the importance of true universality.

If this proves true, DOGE and Friends are blithely wiping out gold-standard education surveys and tools that give us our best look into how children are doing in school, trends in early childhood, etc. Unfathomable short-sightedness.

I talked with experts about the surprising legacy of COVID on early learning & child care. the74million.org/article/how-co…
