THE PROMISE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION

I’ve been reflecting on my career path lately, recalling why and how I began working in public schools (16—post undergrad—years ago), but more importantly, what has kept me connected and motivated through the many twists and turns. Ultimately, I am committed to the vision, the energy and the challenge of changing and strengthening public school systems to better serve all students and eliminate the achievement gap along the way. In order to stay motivated, I need to feel connected to the micro and macro aspects of our work: both the work we do on the ground within schools, directly with youth and teachers, and also to the larger world around us. The current political events and conversations have given me an opportunity to pause, think critically about what I care about, and figure out ways to work better together to create a strong and positive society.  
 
Last month I came across an article in The New York Times Magazine titled “Have We Lost Sight of the Promise of Public Education?”. Author Nikole Hannah-Jones shares a brief historical overview of how American public institutions and systems have long had a struggle between the democratic ideal of serving the common good and the strong influence of the private market economy. Hannah-Jones states, “If there is hope for a renewal of our belief in public institutions and the common good, it may reside in public schools”. I agree, and I believe in the value of the common good and see our work with All-In, in collaboration with our school partners, as creating positive social change. While public institutions that contribute towards the common good take many forms, high quality and inclusive public schools are a critically important space to help ensure a positive society full of engaged citizens willing to work together. What do you think? Have we lost sight of the promise of public education?
