Yes. All our #PhlEd students deserve nice buildings (and art teachers). Great article on Philly teacher @MikeSmaczylo's art exhibit. inquirer.com/education/phil…
so sad. and all because they refused to do right by their workers.
"Child Care Is a Labor of Love (Translation: It Doesn’t Pay a Living Wage)" This article is so thoughtful, the photographs are so authentic and moving, and the title is A+ hawaiibusiness.com/child-care-car…
I'm a trauma therapist and I work with families of children who are not fine at school. The more stories I hear, the more I am concerned that the strategies which are being used to apparently 'help' can make things worse rather than better. (with @_MissingTheMark) 1/

New working paper: “Evidence-Based Decisions and Education Policymakers” nozominakajima.github.io/files/nakajima… In a series of experiments, I study how education policymakers in the U.S. use research evidence to inform their decisions. A summary 🧵 [1/N]
For my first(!)-ever story at the @PhillyInquirer, I worked with @MichaelleBond to measure the extent of one of Philly's most uncomfortable truths: residential segregation. Check it out here: inquirer.com/news/philadelp… 1/6
the first spread of this George & Martha story is one of my all-time favorites. The decision to put George in a phone booth, showing that he CALLED her while he was OUT to have this conversation
Newly released Census data show that stimulus payments alone kept 3.2 million children out of poverty in 2020, and tax credits alone kept 2.7 million children out of poverty in 2020. childtrends.org/blog/federal-r…
