For kids across the country, the 2020-21 school year has been difficult, to say the least.
Many have attended class from their bedrooms, seeing their friends and teachers only on Zoom. Others have been unable to access even that much instruction because they don’t have a computer, an internet connection, or a quiet place to study. Even those who have returned to in-person school have faced a host of new stressors, from distancing requirements to fears of getting Covid-19, that can make the classroom an anxiety-producing place. And experts are worried that some students especially Black, Indigenous, and other students of color, and those from low-income families have lost countless hours of instructional time, a loss that could worsen educational inequality and put them at a disadvantage down the road.

‘Passion’ May Be the Wrong Thing To Search for in Hiring
Hiring and school decisions based on an individual’s “passion” are likely to miss talent, according to a new study.
By Stanford
The research finds that passion is a stronger predictor of achievement in some cultures than in others, where parental support matters just as much.
Imagine you’re hiring for a job or admitting students to a college: One applicant expresses great passion for the work, while another points to family encouragement to attend that institution or pursue that field. Which applicant is more likely to succeed?

At its most basic, education is about uplifting the individual. That means providing the tools and knowledge necessary to give people choices about their futures and a chance to be productive, and hopefully happy, in their lives and work.
Such is the mission of Anna Julia Cooper Episcopal School (AJC) in Richmond, Virginia. Small in size but overflowing with caring and ambition, the 12- year-old school, which calls itself “a community of affection,” serves 119 students in grades four through eight, most of whom are children of color from low-income families. The school’s leave-no-need-unmet approach results in a majority of graduates enrolling in private high schools and about a third heading to college. Some even return to AJC to work.
