The School System Built for a City That No Longer Exists
And the NYT article about the Manhattan Institute's New York-focused wonks
Earlier this month we launched a report An Education Agenda for New York City with an analysis of the main trends in spending, enrollment, and academic results, and how to fix the structural inefficiencies in the system.
Jennifer Weber and I have a new article on Searchlight with a summary from our report.
“But it means that you need to not be an idiot.”
The NYT has an article about the Manhattan Institute where I am blessed to be a fellow. I have been there for a short time but have really enjoyed the collaboration with other people who are also very focused on making NYC better.
What I am reading this month
Kids are at camp which means I am reading a lot - and eagerly checking the camp app for pictures :)
My husband has the best Russian literature recommendations and I just finished “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. It’s a short book that really takes you inside one “good day” in the gulags in the 1950s. It was the first book published about the gulags in the Soviet Union.
