What an Admissions Fight at America's 'Best' High School Says About Educational Equity


Every year, around the country, high school students get their hands dirty with science projects—chemistry labs, robotics, that model of a volcano.
But one school just outside of Washington, D.C., Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, was the first where students designed a satellite that was actually launched into space.
And that's just one example of how extraordinary this school is. After all, it holds the top spot on the U.S. News and World Report ranking of public high schools.
If you’re wondering, yeah, it’s a public school, not one of those private schools with tuition as high as a college. And as a public school, it should be open to all the students in the district.

Is It Still Teaching When the Professor Is Dead?


This article is part of the guide The EdSurge Podcast.
Aaron Ansuini had a question for the professor teaching his online course at Concordia University, in Montreal, so he decided to shoot him an email.
He had been enjoying the video lectures by the professor, François-Marc Gagnon, and Ansuini searched online for his email address. What he found instead was an obituary for the professor, who passed away almost two years ago.
“I thought at first that just coincidentally there was some other prof who had passed away with the same name—like, oh, that’s very odd,” he remembers. Then it sunk in that the professor he thought was teaching him was no longer around.

How the Race Between Vaccinations and COVID Variants Affects School Reopening


This article is part of the guide The EdSurge Podcast.
President Biden has made reopening K-12 schools as one of his top priorities for the first 100 days of his administration, or by the end of April. With COVID-19 vaccinations rolling out across the country, there’s hope that that will happen.
But there is also a sense of added urgency. New strains of the coronavirus are emerging, and vaccine distributions and administrations have run into hiccups.
“We are in a race right now between vaccine distribution and these variants becoming more common,” says Asaf Bitton, a physician, public health researcher, and executive director of Ariadne Labs, a joint center for health systems innovation.
