Mega-good pizza at Razza in Jersey City. Look at that pie. As much poetry as pizza.

Once again, our kids get hurt while the adults play politics. Lest the pols forget, there’s been a pandemic going on that kept kids from school. Shameful. https://t.co/HT7fxzcLYc

All good. I’m still learning. Hirsch has taught me much (as did you).

[Witt Halle @Halle0Witt]

@JoelIKlein It’s been a long time. Hirsch lives on, as do I. Glad you came to my view of learning as knowledge as a procedural and executable skill. Trust all goes well

[Joel Klein @JoelIKlein]

@esanzi @HKorbey All good, my friend. 2 grandbabys now!

E.D. Hirsch with a curtain raiser for his new book, How to Educate a Citizen, out next week. His thesis: Coherent, properly scaffolded curriculum is essential not just for properly educating kids but also for developing effective citizens. https://t.co/nFFSfdApep

[Joel Klein @JoelIKlein]

This time with correct date (though time seems less clear in a Covid world). Can’t wait! This remarkable book, based on a lifetime of learnings by the incomparable E.D. Hirsch, will be out next Wed (9/16). It is a must-read for anyone who cares about America’s future. Pre-order.

(3/3) The authors explain: the dramatically superior performance by charter schools is due to their “improved teaching and learning environments,” not to the “background characteristics” of the students. This latter trope by charter opponents must end now. https://t.co/Gug6qIRSek

[Joel Klein @JoelIKlein]

(2/3)These results prove that charter schools dramatically outperform district schools, especially for our most challenged students, including, most remarkably, for African-Americans. To deny those children the oppotunity to attend such schools is shameful https://t.co/Gug6qIRSek

[Joel Klein @JoelIKlein]

In a word, WOW!!!

“For African-American 8th-grade charter students, math scores improved by 0.46, or 4 times larger than for students at district schools. In reading, scores improved by 0.33, or 2 times those of students attending district schools “ https://t.co/Gug6qIRSek

@JeanneAllen You ain’t kidding.

[Joel Klein @JoelIKlein]

@ErikaDonalds The gap between the value of his contributions and their recognition is mind-blowing.

[Joel Klein @JoelIKlein]

Excited about September 8 release of E.D. Hirsch’s new book on education and citizenship. Now in his 10th decade, Hirsch brings great wisdom to a critical issue for our increasingly polarized society: our collective future depends on adopting a very different education system.

[Joel Klein @JoelIKlein]

Thank you

[Jim Sailer @jesailer]

@JoelIKlein would make this decision based on one key criterion: what is best for the kids?

[Jillian Jorgensen @Jill_Jorgensen]

Never thought I'd have my picture next to @StevieVanZandt's, BUT: I'll be talking with him and former schools chancellor @JoelIKlein at a virtual event for Stevie's organization @TeachRock tonight! Should be a great conversation about education, remote learning, music and more.

[Joel Klein @JoelIKlein]

Tribute to great work by ⁦@Rouhanifard⁩ in Camden. Key to success: “schools are free of many state regulations and union restrictions that often undermine the effective use of school time and resources.” If we care about kids, let’s copy what works. https://t.co/rk8J9S1LQw

[Joel Klein @JoelIKlein]

Just read @ThomasSowell book https://t.co/5FULgdUhGj. Evidence is indisputable: charter schools in NYC opened under @MikeBloomberghave eliminated/closed the racial achievement gap. Yet, as Sowell shows, the “enemies of charters” would still deny this option to families of color.
