All your posts shed a lot of light on the debates. This one became a writing prompt for me this morning. It's safe to say your post was successfully thought-provoking :)
That is, Haidt Screen Limiting has its place. But ~50% of 12 year olds vote with their feet against typical school-offered sports, school-offered clubs, school-offered music. That cohort needs their "good in person things" to come from public dollars but not public/private schools. ESAs for late afternoon, weekend, summers.
Also: is Point 2 battleground middle school math?
Also: I like Mora's Portrait idea for future Education Daly post.
The first article below this one of yours is "Mississippi Can't Possibly Have Good Schools." And yet, they do, and in there is the solution to equity. Make equity about seeking the best for underperforming students, regardless of race. Chicago could stop political posturing, call it the "Student Success Plan" (because there MUST be both white and Latino students who are struggling readers and math students as well, even at lowers numbers), and make it for any student who needs help.
I really like this. Practical life skills landed well with me in particular. The ones you listed are different than the five competencies districts pick for “Portrait of a Graduate”. An ask: can you do a piece on portrait of a grad? It’s such a big thing and it can feel very fluffy. How can we see this movement with a lens of optimism?

Thank you. An excellent analysis.
Good post Tim.
Point 5 begets Point 4.
