We’ve been jealous of Bloomberg Businessweek’s “Jealousy List” for quite some time — the magazine’s annual tribute to the best features, analyses, and scoops to run in other outlets. (Here’s all of their 2018 shout-outs.) So we’re stealing the concept this year and applying it to the world of education journalism.
2018 was a wild time for the ed beat. We’ll remember this as the year that frustrated teachers seized state capitols; when students marched for their lives; when the Supreme Court undercut unions; when career educators ran for office amid a blue wave. It was also a time for incredible reporting about equity, student safety, governmental waste, and hard pivots in federal policy.
