Nikole Hannah-Jones Admits Failing NYC Schools 'Betrayed' Daughter
Hannah-Jones says her experiment failed and the Brooklyn school did not improve with her presence.
- Nikole Hannah-Jones, face of the Times 1619 Project, revisits her decision from a decade ago to enroll her daughter, Najya, in a Brooklyn public school in her latest essay for The New York Times Magazine.
- Ten years ago, Hannah-Jones chose a struggling public school for her four-year-old daughter, arguing that upper-middle-class parents could improve education quality and serve as a solution for dysfunctional institutions.
- When Najya reached third grade, Hannah-Jones visited the school and discovered children sitting without lunch or adult supervision, a failure that would trigger immediate firings at a private school.
- By Hannah-Jones's own account, her presence failed to lift the school, which instead dragged down her daughter's experience; dysfunctional public schools often remain unaffected by individual parental involvement.
- Results from ten years are now in, with skeptics arguing the experiment failed to address systemic issues in dysfunctional public schools, contrasting sharply with the initial progressive hope.
