Stuck In The Middle
NYC schools are looking for help evaluating the longstanding middle school problem in the city, where kids seem to do increasingly worse the longer they stay in school, according to the NY Post. Hopefully, the helpers will look as much as what happens in successful middle schools like KIPP and Harlem Village Academy as they do at the configuration of grades within a school building.
This is an important issue and hopefully the attempts to really think this stuff through won't be watered down by political theater.
