Schools and education are very much in the news:

Absenteeism from school is storing up problems for young people for "decades to come", a senior MP has warned. Education Select Committee chair Robert Halfon said more than 100,000 "ghost children" had not returned to school since the coronavirus pandemic began. In March, the committee warned of an "epidemic" of inequality, exacerbated by the loss of learning due to Covid.

A wave of new state laws meant to alter how students learn and the rights they have at school has taken effect across nearly half the country, a Washington Post analysis has found, as part of the rising battle over cultural values in American education.
Over the past three academic years, legislators in 45 states proposed 283 laws that either sought to restrict what teachers can say about race, racism and American history; to change how instructors can teach about gender identity, sexuality and LGBTQ issues; to boost parents’ rights over their children’s education; to limit students’ access to school libraries and books; to circumscribe the rights of transgender students; and/or to promote what legislators defined as a “patriotic” education.

Five students of color in Ankeny told district officials about the difficulties they've faced in school and implored them to do more. During public comment at a school board meeting on Monday, they told the board that they've experienced bullying, stereotypes and other students using slurs against them.
"This has gone on throughout my whole time being a student at Ankeny," said Layla Martinez, now a senior at Ankeny Centennial High School, who said she's fought a constant battle for her identity. "Students constantly talk disrespectfully about my culture and other students of color, and I know what people say. 'Why don't you speak up?' But the thing is, I do."

A new skirmish is emerging in education reform.
Some want students to not only learn how to solve problems, but also how to find them. Others fear that training students to seek out problems is creating ruinous pessimism.
There’s a better way forward that splits the difference between the two camps. It relies on ensuring that students develop agency—not learned helplessness—by seeking to make progress in the mold of an American ideal.
My new book, “From Reopen to Reinvent,” makes the case that schools need to help students learn coherent sequences of content, as well as habits of success and skills like problem solving. One of the first pushbacks on the skills I listed, however, was from a friendly critic who said I had left out the importance of students learning to be “problem seekers” or “problem finders.”
