New Post: 20 Years of SLA

What lessons have we learned as we open our doors for our 20th first day of school?

20 Years of SLA

Tomorrow morning, Science Leadership Academy opens its doors for the 20th time. To say that it has been a heck of a run is purely an understatement. In that time, we've worked with thousands of kids, and we've done all that we can to show the world that an inquiry driven, project based, caring school really can make a difference in the lives of the students and the educators who inhabit it.

Every journalist has to put a stop to this.

When they slander and name call, journalists have to call it out and demand it stops.

STEPHANOPOULOS: ProPublica reported that several members of the Trump administation have similar questions about their mortgages

VANCE: ProPublica is basically a left-wing blog

S: Do you dispute the facts they reported?

VANCE: I haven't read it. I have no idea. I certainly question the source

I genuinely wonder why TV folks let this administration get away with their tactics.

Interrupt them. Hold them to ask. Or don’t have them on.

Vance is having an incredible morning on the Sunday shows doing "oh so now it's illegal to [mundane thing]?"

A real quote when Vance is asked about whether Tom Homan kept the $50,000 he got in a fast food bag: "Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services?"

It's clearer by the day that Columbia making a deal with Trump in July was a catastrophe for higher education as a whole. It gave terrible people a bottomless appetite for extortion. The other eight universities must follow MIT's lead.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.
