Do We Need Rural School Preserves?
A new paper argues that rural school districts are facing an existential threat, and proposes a new sort of preserve to safeguard these districts and the students that they serve.
www.forbes.com
Forbes picked up our article explaining how designating rural school districts as "education preserves" can protect them from charter and voucher expansion.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Perfect is the enemy of good.
Take a lesson from me and don’t wait until you are “through” w/ the project (trying to perfect it) before sending it out. I’ve been blessed in my career to have great feedback on my manuscripts, but I was often too exhausted to really dig in.
First peer reviews of my book landed last wk. Now that I’ve sobered up from the excitement of knowing this project will have a great home, the real revisions begin. Another set of reviews is on the way. Feedback is a gift & the academy makes sure you get plenty! Excited to share this book w/ y’all!

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

More and more people are saying, etc.
the economic success of the U.S. is significantly built on the land grant universities and in particular their excellent agricultural science tradition.
Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
