Liz Willen Dear reader:

I spent much of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend respectfully listening to and learning about the latest research on school choice, ([link removed]) which can encompass everything from charter schools and vouchers to home-schooling. At the International School Choice and Reform Conference ([link removed]) , scholars from all over the world presented interesting findings that will be helpful to our work and to our independent thinking.

Education can be a volatile, politically divisive topic, generating both disagreement and vitriol. After all, it’s really about children. I invite you to read and share our balanced coverage. We welcome op-eds, the latest research, story ideas and differing views on the issues. This week, we take you to Lost Hills, California, where a charter school is changing the lives and trajectories ([link removed]) of farm workers’ children and upending a community’s expectations – via education.

Liz Willen, Editor
