Random Question
I like this blog and respect its reporters. But lately I’ve been thinking a lot about education reporters and what they choose to write about. I think education reporters should disclose information about their schooling–public or private–as well as where their children go, if they have them. I think this is fair especially when a cover story blasts certain aspects of public schools. I always wonder after reading such a story: Did this reporter go to private school? Just a random thought.
“I wonder whether school are more or less integrated along socioeconomic lines than they are along racial lines. I could imagine the title of that article being "why don't we have any rich kids?"
