  • Looking at the impacts of desegregation through an economic lens, Roland Fryer says that racial integration isn’t merely a moral or ethical endeavor but an economic necessity when access to important developmental resources are on the line. —The Wall Street Journal

  • When analyzing the NAEP reading results, don’t focus on phonics alone. Content knowledge is a big part of the story. —Natalie Wexler

  • Even if the U.S. Supreme Court rules that religious charter schools are allowable, Greg Richmond says there’s a strong case for religious schools not to take the plunge. He's been both the Superintendent of Schools for the Archdiocese of Chicago and the leader of Chicago's Charter Schools Office; so he ought to know. —CharterFolk
