A home-schooling free-for-all?

A home-schooling free-for-all?

Unlike much education in this country, home-schooling is broadly unregulated, writes Motoko Rich in The New York Times. Along with its steady growth has come a debate and lobbying war over how much oversight such education requires.

Education: the epicenter of injustice in our society

Education: the epicenter of injustice in our society

Low-income children of color are at the epicenter of injustice in our society, writes Mark Warren in The New England Journal of Public Policy.

To grow up the child of well-educated parents in an affluent American home is to hit the verbal lottery

It's all about the schema

To grow up the child of well-educated parents in an affluent American home is to hit the verbal lottery, writes Robert Pondiscio on the Thomas B. Fordham Institute website. Verbal parents chatter incessantly, and offer a running commentary on everything in a child's life.
