Conversations with Jim Zurin

Some see education reform at odds with a time-tested public school system. Former City Councilwoman Eva Moskowitz runs 216 New York charter schools. She tells Jim public schools have  failed poor children, while charter schools have made for higher test scores among her students, 93% of whom are children of color.

At Success Academy, we work hard to select texts that are worth thinking about. Regardless of the genre, we choose texts based, above all, on the power of their ideas. Ultimately, this is the foundational ingredient of a rigorous, sophisticated literacy curriculum—and it is a simple and low-cost way that all schools can improve the education they give their students.

New York Daily News | Eva Moskowitz

New York's Department of Education announced last week that it will publicly release state test results a month later than usual — in mid-September. Eva Moskowitz explains that this unjustifiable delay will harm schools, and it makes no sense. Schools will be forced to begin the new year with no grasp of what drove changes in their performance, and no capacity to define goals or craft improvement strategies.

Reason | John Stossel & Maxim Lott

John Stossel describes how Success Academy's Eva Moskowitz has demonstrated that more choice in education yields incredible outcomes. Her school gets amazing results: 95% of kids pass the state math test, and 84% pass English. At all NYC government schools only 38% and 41% pass. John gives Success Academy, and school choice, an A!

Eva Moskowitz writes that in truth, charter schools are not about privatization or politics. They’re about empowering parents who don’t want to sit helplessly by while their children attend failing schools. As such, they deserve support from every Democrat — and every American — who is committed to advancing equality and opportunity for all our citizens.

Education Next | Chester E. Finn, Jr.

There are hundreds of thousands of poor and minority kids whose striving parents want them to succeed, parents who can get them to school in the morning and ensure that they do their homework in the evening but who cannot find or afford an acceptable school in the city where they live. Those kids need and deserve great schools, too. Hurrah for Moskowitz for showing how—and now for describing it so well.
