  • High-dosage tutoring is the most effective way to combat learning loss, and schools have the ESSER funds to pay for it. —Washington Post
  • “Serious research on poverty must contend with basic facts. Poverty has fallen significantly over the past 50 years. Government-assistance programs do a lot to diminish material hardship. Poverty is less likely when adults work, especially full-time, year-round; it is even less likely when adults are married.” —City Journal
  • For education, artificial intelligence tools will likely succeed where other technologies failed. —John Bailey
  • Another writer agrees: “A.I. could actually be a boon to education” —Peter Coy
  • As schools consider eliminating advanced courses, they must grapple with fundamental questions of fairness and equity. —Scott Peters
  • “A middle path of reflective patriotism can rebuild support for public schools” —Richard D. Kahlenberg
