Good morning, this is Jason Gonzales from Chalkbeat Colorado.
New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones went viral 10 years ago when she documented her choice to enroll her daughter in a high-poverty, high-needs elementary school. The essay also helped spark a movement.
Now, Hannah-Jones’ most recent essay has caused new debate. In it, she writes that her daughter feels cheated by her mother’s choice. Chalkbeat journalists break down the reactions to the piece. Also, make sure you read to the end of the article and fill out our survey.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSORS
The case for multimodal learning in today's classroom
Every student brings to the classroom different background knowledge and learning needs. Modern research suggests that multimodal instruction — combining modalities and learning experiences to support access and understanding — can reduce learning barriers, especially for students with disabilities and language-learning needs.
Join us for a conversation focused on what the research shows about how students engage with, interpret, and communicate understanding across different formats and walk away with a practical framework for building multimodal instruction into everyday teaching.
