Our city had the worst air quality in the world at the time of recording, with an Air Quality Index of 446 (that's like smoking over 60 cigarettes a day).

The schools in Steubenville, Ohio, are doing something unusual—in fact, it's almost unheard of. In a country where nearly 40 percent of fourth graders struggle to read at even a basic level, Steubenville has succeeded in teaching virtually all of its students to read well. According to data from the Educational Opportunity Project at Stanford University, Steubenville has routinely scored in the top 10 percent or better of schools nationwide for third grade reading, sometimes scoring as high as the top 1 percent.In study after study for decades, researchers have found that districts serving low-income families almost always have lower test scores than districts in more affluent places. Yet Steubenville bucks that trend.“It was astonishing to me how amazing that elementary school was,” said Karin Chenoweth, who wrote about Steubenville in her book How It's Being Done: Urgent Lessons From Unexpected Schools.This week on Reveal, reporter Emily Hanford shares the latest from the hit APM Reports podcast Sold a Story. We'll learn how Steubenville became a model of reading success—and how a new law in Ohio put it all at risk.

Anthony England, Director of Innovation at Pymble Ladies' College, discusses a bold grassroots initiative to reclaim childhood from the grip of digital addiction. With screen time skyrocketing and mental health declining, Anthony and his team took action—rolling out over 800 custom-managed smartphones designed to grow with students, limit harmful content, and foster real-world connection.Pymble has chosen a new and courageous path—one that protects wellbeing while preparing students to thrive in a complex digital world.At the centre of this conversation is the Pymble Wise Phone Initiative, launching in 2025. This school-wide program will provide a wiser mobile phone choice to students in Years 4 to 8, replacing traditional smartphones with custom-managed devices that grow with the child. Designed to be boring by design—but brilliant in impact—these phones limit harmful content while enabling connection, safety, and gradual digital independence.We dive into:Why they created affordable, safe phones that don't steal attentionHow a $5 alarm clock and a Wi-Fi timer can transform home tech habitsThe ripple effects: more sleep, stronger friendships, time for hobbies and outdoor playThe digital licence approach: like P-plates for phones, helping students earn responsibilityHow joy is being restored—through go-karts, bikes, and parent-child pledges to live life wellThis initiative is not about restriction—it's about protection and empowerment. By uniting the school and home in a shared mission, Pymble is creating a spring-free trampoline for digital life—a safe ecosystem where children can grow stronger, not more stressed.✨ “We are choosing a new and courageous path to make the world a better place for our girls.” – Pymble Ladies' College

Today is Christmas and I am spending time with my family but I didn't want to leave you hanging. So here's one of my favorite episodes from last year. Do you feel like you've only got this ONE school year to make a difference? If so, you're probably chasing the quick wins, putting an enormous amount of pressure on yourself and your teachers, and staying on the school improvement hamster wheel. Builders don't operate under that kind of pressure. Instead, Builders play the long game. They think in 3-year time horizons and as a result, accomplish more with significantly less stress. It's time to get off the hamster wheel. Discover how you too can play the long game #LikeABuilder
A survey by nonprofit organization Common Sense Media shows 42% of children in the U.S. have a phone by the age of 10. And numbers like this are causing concern for educators, including a group of headteachers in Greystones, a town in Ireland. That group was so worried by the increased levels of anxiety among children using smartphones and social media that last year they asked parents to sign a voluntary pledge to delay buying cellphones for their children until at least the age of 11. The BBC’s Leanna Byrne checks in to see what effect it had.

I talk with PAULA DANIELS, Co-Founder, Chair of the Board of the Center for Good Food Purchasing, and recently announced initial director of the Los Angeles County Office of Food Equity, which aims to address the root causes of food-system problems in the region. We talk about what it takes to pull together elements of business, entrepreneurism, politics, government, science, and more to move the needle on a huge and complex system. The Center uses the power of procurement to create a food system that prioritizes the health and well-being of people, animals, and the environment. As its goals and standards are adopted by a growing national network of major food purchasers such as school districts, the program exerts growing leverage on the larger food system in America.

Last time, we set the table with special-education attorney Tim Adams to discuss the big 9th Circuit win for parents of kids with IEPs (individualized education protocols). Now we dig in to Irvine Unified School District v. Landers and Gagliano.After covering the fact that the school district, to get out of helping a dyslexic student get the help she needed, spent over $1.13 million on its attorneys in over five-years of litigation involving a “trial by experts.” In this discussion, Tim Adams explains that IEPs are a constitutional right, so school districts are not legally permitted to consider their costs. Yet school district spokespersons take to the press to decry how these lawsuits are breaking the bank.

Former school trustee, Steve Simmons, explains how a huge OneSchool Global money laundering operation could have put up to $100 million into Gareth and Charles Hales' pockets. We hear how PBCC leader Bruce Hales played a key role in the illegal operation that took charitably donated, tax receipted funds intended for the school. The brethren now face an “Aberdeen” level crisis. Their “Man of God”is shown to be a morally bankrupt kleptomaniac. OneSchool Global, whose values claim to be “Integrity – uprightness, honesty and decorous conduct, governed by the Holy Bible” now appears to be a key player in a global crime syndicate. With Bruce chronically, and perhaps terminally ill, and his sons engaged in a deadly battle of succession, this crisis will plunge the already crumbling PBCC into chaos.

OK I'M DONE HOLDING BACK ALL THE THINGS I SAVE FOR MY PRIVATE CLIENTS. In January alone 95% of the families we met with in free or private consultations had NEVER heard of or seen the School Profile for their child's high school. If you didn't catch that, I said, SCHOOL PROFILE. It's a PDF document that literally shares the academic profile of your high school with colleges. This document is how colleges view your child's high school and the context in which to evaluate their application. Does this sound like a document YOU want to see BEFORE senior year? If you are nodding your head yes, you need today's episode! Today I am going to break down the SCHOOL PROFILE: What is it? 3 real examples of School Profiles (Public, Catholic, Private) Walk you through the components. Tell you how this is used in college admissions. AND, Where to find your own school profile. If you've never heard of the School Profile, you are in good company. When I presented this info to the Stanford B-School Alumni, they didn't know either. SO - I decided, if they need this information, I'm pretty sure YOU do too!!
