NEW: An NYT investigation has found that scores of Hasidic Jewish schools in New York are purposely denying some 50,000 students a basic secular education – and have received $1 billion in taxpayer dollars over the last 4 years. w/ @brianmrosenthal nytimes.com/2022/09/11/nyreg…

In Hasidic Enclaves, Failing Private Schools Flush With Public Money (Published 2022)

New York’s Hasidic Jewish religious schools have benefited from $1 billion in government funding in the last four years but are unaccountable to outside oversight.

what is with this tendency in the ed sector towards terrible, redundant modifiers? i.e., "strategic leadership," "transformational innovation," and "dramatically better?"

An educator from Oakland Unified Schools District shared this image with me. The air feels lighter as they start school this week. The future brighter. Our POTUS and VP elect will continue a path that’s been carved by the fortitude of others. Some even as young as six.
