Dear Reader,
I'm Lawrie Mifflin, managing editor of The Hechinger Report.
I've got a simple request today.
If you read The Hechinger Report and see the value of our robust, unbiased coverage of classrooms and campuses, will you support it by setting up a monthly donation?
I'm very proud of what we've accomplished recently. Just to name a few achievements:
- People have been devouring our stories, like those about teachers who use brain science to inform their practice, Common Core math problems that are tripping up parents, the resurgence of vocational education, and issues facing first-generation college students, among other topics.
- Our investigative team is taking off. We've worked hard to explain the facts behind the persistent low quality of child care, the misappropriations of many state-funded college scholarship programs and the successes and failures of high schools trying to prepare their students for the 21st-century job market. For the second year in a row, we won national accolades for a signature investigation — last year's analysis of the re-segregation of public schools.
- We're considered a must-read. As one donor put it: "The Hechinger Report is the best source for quality, independent education reporting." And our topical newsletters, like Future of Learning, which goes out to leading education innovators across the country, are just as good as our daily fare.
I could keep going. Every day, we're determined to offer — jargon free — the most thoughtful, detailed and interesting examination of the education issues you care about most.
But we have to pay rent. We have to pay for computers, salaries and benefits for our talented journalists and our dedicated support staff. Please consider contributing if you'd like us to keep going.

Do you support the work we're doing?

Thank you for reading, and please let me know what you think we could do better.
Sincerely,
Lawrie Mifflin
Managing Editor
