1. A TedTalk that names the true problem with education (includes transcript in multiple languages).
"If we really, as a country, believe that education is the ‘great equalizer,’ then it should be just that: equal and equitable. Until then, there's no democracy in our democratic education.”
2. If you are unfamiliar with the (albeit broad) concept of education reform, this is a good primer on the subject within the context of science education.
3. Education reform is not a panacea for the criminal system, but it helps.
4. This talks about the importance of informal education, particularly of mentorship in high-needs areas. If you are strapped for time, I strongly suggest watching the video at the top of this page.
5. If prison education isn’t something you’ve ever thought about before, you should read about the ground truth in juvenile detention education
