🧵73% of NYC high schools don't have a student newspaper. We don't have enough platforms for student voice.
So for my final project @newmarkjschool, I created a student newsroom called Report Card that trains, pays and publishes student reporters.

[Julian Roberts-Grmela @GrmelaJulian]

The stipends that students receive will come from donations that our audience provides. If you believe in Report Card's mission, please donate to help make it sustainable ❤️

@BarackObama And a reminder to keep your mask on, as the pandemic is still with us!

[Farah Despeignes @OFABronx]

Parents and teachers think the mediocre testing policy of the NYC DOE will make schools super spreader places. What will we do about that?

Parents are saying that the Department of Education is broken and needs fixing! What do we do about that?
