News

How we report
Every news item cites a primary source, the legislation, the state DOE announcement, the company press release, the academic paper. We use trade-press and secondary reporting only to confirm facts, never as the sole source for a claim.
Where we have an opinion on what a development means for homeschool families, we say so in a separate "take" section. The news and the take are visually and structurally separated. Readers always know which is which.
