Removing distractions like phones from the school day means students can focus more on two important things: 1) learning & 2) being kids. Excited for Georgia students, families, and educators - kudos to Michael O'Sullivan and GeorgiaCAN for helping lead the charge!

Love these ideas for expanding public school choice. More than 7M kids already use charter or magnet schools; hundreds of thousands leverage open enrollment. And don't sleep on the appetite and opportunity for microschools in public & private sector! the74million.org/article/a-k-12…

I'm so excited to dig into this study - open enrollment policies are both growing and under-discussed. 1.6 million kids used open enrollment last year, including almost 700K low-income kids.

Looking forward to this event and learning from the researchers coming to present their work! Turns out, as Nat Malkus likes to remind us, we still need kids to attend school if we want any other policies or programs to work.

Nobody should be surprised that the day is here when kids in classrooms lose out to the need to fund teacher pensions. We've known for years this was coming. But everyone should be alarmed.
