Class Size Matters is one of the most effective—if not the MOST effective—advocacy organizations for public schools in New York City. Its leader, Leonie Haimson, fights for reduced class sizes, more funding, and the privacy of student data. I am a member of the board of Class Size Matters.
On June 12, CSM will hold its annual awards dinner. The awards are called the Skinny, in contrast to the Broad Award, which was given to districts that raised test scores, closed schools, and used metrics inappropriately.
I will be there to celebrate the award winners, who are parent-members of the Board of Education who stood strong for students, teachers, and well-funded public schools.
Please join us!

Mark,
Please introduce yourself so I can thank you for catching my typos. Did you know that I write everything on my cellphone?

You’ve mentioned that, Diane, though it boggles my mind that you can do that. My eyes hurt just thinking about blogging on my phone.
And will do. I attended the Skinny Awards for the first time last year. I found it professionally bracing and salubrious.

Diane — here’s an article that everyone should read because it’s a national problem affecting public schools in every state:
“Can a billionaire make North Carolina’s public schools poor?” https://ncnewsline.com/2024/05/20/can-a-billionaire-make-north-carolinas-public-schools-poor/

In other news, Biden just called the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu “outrageous.” What is outrageous is that Biden is calling this outrageous. He is a mass murderer.
