[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the author had zero first-hand experience with these schools, would their opinion matter to you? Would anyone’s?[/quote] Sure. Writers often draft thoughtful pieces batter doing the hard work of interviews and research. By contrast, this reads like a gossip column she wrote after meeting a couple friends for wine. I find Nikole Hannah-Jones insufferably smug and often dishonest in her writing about schools, but she does the work to write a solid piece. By contrast, this is more like a Maureen Dowd snark piece. Trash better fit for the Washingtonian and a supermarket checkout lane. [/quote]
