Liz Willen Dear reader,
While admiring recent high school and college graduation photos of family and friends, I was thinking about the factors that can complicate the path to these achievements. One is pregnancy and parenthood.
Graduation rates for pregnant and parenting students have long lagged: Only about half of teen moms receive a high school diploma by age 22 and fewer than 2 percent of mothers under 18 complete college by age 30, according to studies.
In addition, federal civil rights laws that protect these students are often ignored, misunderstood or blatantly violated in public schools, as our deep reporting on this issue points out ([link removed]) . Our story, published this week in partnership with USA Today, explores what will be needed if pregnant and parenting students are to thrive in a post-Roe world.
We are having a lot of related conversations about how education is and isn’t changing and how it can be improved this week in Orlando, where many of us are attending the 75th Education Writers Association National Seminar ([link removed]) . It’s great to be having these discussions in person, and we’re also celebrating numerous awards and nominations ([link removed]) for our work during the turmoil of the pandemic. The Hechinger winners this week were:
* News, Small newsroom: Jackie Mader, with Kavitha Cardoza & Kate Rix, for a series of stories, “The trauma epidemic,” ([link removed]) published with The New Republic, USA Today and PBS Newshour
* Features, Midsize newsroom: Rita Omokha, for “The orphans Covid left behind ([link removed]) ,” published with Vanity Fair
* Features, Small newsroom: Caroline Preston, for “The jobs where sexual harassment never stopped ([link removed]) ,” published with USA Today
We’d love to hear your thoughts, as always, and we’re also asking New York City students to get in touch ([link removed]) and tell us how they want Asian and Pacific Islander history to be taught. Finally, please remind others of a great way to keep up with education: sign up ([link removed]) for our newsletters!

Main Idea
** If more students become pregnant post-Roe, are we prepared to support them? ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Schools often discriminate against parenting students, and services for them have dwindled. New abortion restrictions could force more young people to drop out
Reading List
** PROOF POINTS: Paper books linked to stronger readers in an international study ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
As poor students gain access to technology, they lag behind rich students in access to physical books
** A ‘summer camp’ for teachers fills a gap in environmental education ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Louisiana science educators get hands-on instruction on environmental threats to their state
[link removed] [link removed]
** TEACHER VOICE: With hands-on activities, my chemistry students are building cities of the future ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Found materials, avatars and design thinking boosted their excitement about learning during the pandemic
** OPINION: More police in schools are not the answer. It’s up to educators to make schools safe ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of cops, schools need more support for the social, emotional and mental health needs of students
** OPINION: After two decades of studying voucher programs, I’m now firmly opposed to them ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Here’s why public money should not be funding private tuition
