The Problem with Nikole Hannah-Jones

OCT 7, 202675 MIN

Description

Nikole Hannah-Jones’s essay about her daughter’s education has reignited the debate over school integration and parental choice. But are we learning the right lessons? Drawing on his experience as a school principal and superintendent, Ravi examines her account and challenges the idea that integration and more funding can fix what’s failing in public education. He explores charter school results, teachers’ unions, grade inflation, and the barriers to holding educators accountable—arguing for a system built around rigorous teaching, honest assessments, and families’ ability to choose schools where their children can thrive. --> Vote for our podcast, Where the School's Went for "Most Inspirational" in this year's Signal Awards Get your copy of The Invisible List, available now Find Lost Debate ◾Get show notes - ⁠https://thelostdebate.substack.com/⁠ ◾Subscribe to our YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@LostDebate ◾Follow us - @thebranchmedia Find Ravi Gupta ◾Read Ravi’s Substack - https://realravigupta.substack.com ◾Follow Ravi- https://www.instagram.com/ravimgupta/
