THE EDUCATION AVENGERS is about more than remarkable people. It is about the ideas they embody, the conditions they create for human flourishing, and the extraordinary things that happen when ordinary people decide children are worth the fight.
@JeanneAllen introduces readers to a new class of heroes who saw children being failed and decided they could not look away.
They did not set out to become heroes. Most began with a child, a question, or a concern they could no longer ignore. They refused to accept systems that asked children to wait—for relevance, dignity, happiness, or belonging.
These are stories of resistance and resurrection. Stories of people from vastly different beginnings whose lives point to the same truth: no matter the circumstances, there is something in each of us that is called to fight.
Through twelve extraordinary lives, Allen explores what creates human flourishing, why some communities thrive while others struggle, and what becomes possible when purpose, dignity, courage, freedom, joy, hope, and opportunity take root. This is a book about people—and the enduring ideas that shape lives, strengthen communities, and restore hope.
THE EDUCATION AVENGERS is available now from @PostHillPress.

North Star Academy (@uncommonschools) teachers and their students in Newark have been changing the early stage AI/edu debate for classrooms - not blindly running from its potential negatives, but understanding where, when, and how it can be harnessed in a positive way for learning. @The74 👇

Love this @rickhess99 interview of @JeanneAllen about her new book. "Start with the child in front of you. Ask what that child needs and what is getting in the way. Then find others who see what you see and begin making room for a better answer." @HowardLFuller @JoeNathan9249 rickhessoneducation.substack…

After decades of declining enrollment, school choice and renewed interest in classical education are creating opportunities for (Catholic school) expansion.

The most powerful constituency behind (education opportunity) isn’t sitting in Washington. It’s sitting around America’s dinner tables.

Should we be shocked that college students are portrayed as academic rebels for wanting to read the classics, or that these titles used to be common entries on middle and high school syllabi?

Whatever the outcome of the 2026 midterms, one thing is certain: the movement for education opportunity and innovation isn’t going away.

POV, mindset shift ➡️ "Competition drives quality. And we see that now in our public school system. Iterating. Innovating… (They) are not resting on their laurels and accepting the status quo… Hoping. Delivering. Asking for the parents to send their child to that school." – at Gotha, FL

We must return to the basics, empower localities to use resources wisely, and put parents back at the center of their child’s education.
