Philadelphia’s school situation makes the front page of the New York Times with quotes from our leadership parents: Mark and Leslie Tyler, Helen Gym, and Tomika Anglin. The online accompaniment to the story included a full photo gallery and named Helen Gym as the Times quote of the day: “Nobody is talking about what it takes to get a child educated. It’s just about what the lowest number is needed to get the bare minimum. That’s what we’re talking about here: the deliberate starvation of one of the nation’s biggest school districts.”
