Dear reader,Liz Willen

Most of the education stories you read these days are mired in fraught, painful pandemic questions surrounding opening schools. These are deeply urgent issues, but so are the nation’s inequity problems, such as the racism surrounding gifted programs.

This week, we take you deep inside an Illinois district ([link removed]) gifted program that gives us hope that change can happen, and we take a look at how mineral wealth ([link removed]) in Wyoming has been key to education funding in this red state.

Of course, coronavirus is very much on our minds and in our coverage, as we explore the latest research on what kind of tutoring might help students catch up ([link removed]) when school buildings fully reopen, and offer you a range ofviews ([link removed]) and opinions ([link removed]) on improving education. As always, we love to hear from our readers.

** One of the fairest school funding models in the nation might be about to fail ([link removed])

** PROOF POINTS: Research evidence increases for intensive tutoring ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
One approach to help students make up for the pandemic year uses recent college graduates as tutors.



** A video game makes math and English classes a full-body experience ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
An online platform lets kids learn critical math and English skills through playground skills.


**
COLUMN: The American Rescue Plan will halve child poverty, but we haven’t won the second War on Poverty yet ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Raising the minimum wage is a must, but so is a totally new way of thinking about closing the poverty gap.


**
OPINION: Sorry, Sam Zell, college students absolutely need those stimulus checks ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Many students are going hungry on college campuses and don’t have enough money for food.
