Unlikely success ignored by critics in education debate
Thomas Lowell argues that high performing minority students in various settings debunk claims of inevitable failure in public schools. He cites P. S. 161 in Brooklyn, Frederick Douglass Academy in Harlem, Kipp Academies, Bennett-Kew Elementary, and Catholic Cornerstone Schools. The piece contrasts public schooling with home schooling, military base schools, and private options, urging more escape hatches from failing public schools and critiquing education schools and policy.
