Liz Willen Dear reader,

From vast plains to tiny mountain towns, more than 9.3 million students go to public schools in rural areas ([link removed]) , a number larger than the combined total of the nation’s 85 largest school districts. Yet getting enough teachers who want to work in these remote areas and who can teach the kind of high-level math and other pre-college classes remains an enormous challenge. This week, The Hechinger Report’s Nichole Dobo explores the issues using the story of a genial college professor who makes a long-distance “road trip” to a remote region of Colorado every week, to encourage kids there to go to college. It’s the first of many stories she will do about education in often forgotten corners of the country.

Dobo, who grew up in rural Appalachia, studied rural issues as a Knight-Wallace Fellow ([link removed]) at the University of Michigan, and will be exploring the diversity of the rural experience, polarization and higher education issues in the coming months. Send her your thoughts at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) .

As you know, we love to hear from readers at The Hechinger Report. We would especially like to know aboutyour stories ([link removed]) and experiences with the continuing U.S. childcare crisis. Reach out to Jackie Mader ([link removed]) : Jackie has spent years covering early education ([link removed]) for us in ways you won’t see elsewhere. She can be reached at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) .

We also love hearing your opinions ([link removed]) on what we can do to improve education; I read every submission ([link removed]) even though we can’t publish them all. There can be no solutions if no one is talking about the problems and recognizing them, even when we don’t agree on the best approaches. We need discussion and debate.

As always, thank you for reading The Hechinger Report ([link removed]) .

Liz Willen, Editor
