I help parents, educators, civic leaders, legislators, and philanthropists forge new opportunities for disadvantaged students to beat the odds.

First, the released dataset has pretty good geographic coverage, and accounts for a majority of the US population!

Everything including zoning, noise, housing codes, and whether or not you can ride an ATV without a license.

There are a lot of weaknesses in @mattyglesias child care piece yesterday, but his assertion that high child care costs mainly matter for two-earner couples in expensive cities who are "well represented in the Democratic Party staffer class" is stunningly off-base.

(Also, as I write in my response, "Yglesias cares a lot about saying things that are true vs. things that are not true, so he might be interested to know that federal data shows that there is widespread usage of paid child care among all American families— [even] close to 30% of single-earner two-parent families utilize at least one regular nonparental care arrangement (and nearly 80% of these use center-based — i.e. paid — care).")

Federal scholarship tax credits could inject new funding into public schools, but only if they can compete with established private-school networks. Our newest memo lays out how states can help public-serving organizations become SGOs fast. 🔗: https://t.co/i6ESLT0XiS

Alternatively, we find that enrollment in the "most exposed" degrees, as a group, is rising.

This is WILD

Affluent students are far more likely to receive accommodations

Further evidence that wealthy families are gaming the system for better test scores

An affront to every other student in the system (and especially kids who really need special education support)

Whoa. Huge news for many private universities if this is so.

Wonder if it passes.

Too many lobbyists who can undo this

We know the answer: Cal State LA, followed by Pace & SUNY.

State systems in California, Texas & New York are great for moving many born in the lower 20% of income to the top 20%; Ivies for moving a few from the bottom to the top 1%. https://t.co/DhjtaUv48s
