"Hannah-Jones has a right to attribute her family’s social mobility to the integrated education that she and her husband received, but it is wholly disingenuous to pretend that no other viable path to success exists."
@JerseyCAN executive director Paula White - a mother of three and former teacher in her own right - shares her thoughts on the recent Nikole Hannah-Jones essay in the New York Times.

Standardized tests protect children and their families from being misled by a bureaucracy more interested in moving kids through the system than ensuring they have learned anything.
How so many on the left were convinced the tests were the problem deserves more attention.

"Another Rutgers instructor told me that some students arrive unable to add fractions without a calculator and become lost as soon as a problem introduces a variable."
Checking in on the top ranked public university in the NE:
“Rutgers also has an increasing number of freshmen taking lower-level classes like elementary or intermediate algebra and precalculus. Collectively, about 2,500 students were placed in courses below calculus last year”

Our National Voices fellows come from a variety of backgrounds. Take Thibaut Delloue, for instance.
Thibaut, a National Voices fellow in Cohort VIII, is an education leader and Navy veteran currently serving as Chief of Staff at the South Carolina Children's Fund.
The National Voices fellowship is designed to support the next generation of education leaders and thinkers like Thibaut through strategic communications training with the purpose of amplifying the national conversation about our country's schools.

Congratulations to cohort 4 FIRE fellows for recently completing their fellowship!
Made up of parents from across the country, this class of fellows spent the past several months learning new ways to raise their voices on behalf of students, and to bring those new skills back to their own communities to transform education.
