Lakisha Young, a former KIPP employee, launched The Oakland REACH to help underserved San Francisco Bay Area families advocate for their children. The challenges of urban education weren’t new to Lakisha Young. She’d grown up in San Francisco housing projects, joined the Teach for America corps in impoverished Compton, California, and spent more than a decade trying to attract talented teachers to high-needs schools, first for The New Teacher Project, then for the KIPP charter school network. But when Young’s own daughter won one of 11 coveted seats in a charter school lottery in Oakland—out of more than 90 students who applied—she vowed to do more for the Black and Latino students and families the school district had been failing...

Amazon’s Prime Day 2022 sales event is over. Let’s talk about it. There were some decent tool deals this year, but not quite as many tool-related deals as in previous years. Prices were lower, about the same, or higher, depending on the product. Gearwrench was definitely a winner this year, with what looked to be lower-than-ever prices on certain tools and sets. There were a couple of standout Dewalt deals this year, most notably their premium compact oscillating multi-tool kit. There weren’t any notable Wera deals, and few Wiha deals aside from a couple of lighting deals. Other brands looked to have skipped Prime Day this year as well, such as PanaVise and Mitutoyo.
