As great as the challenges seem right now for teachers, students, parents, and administrators, there are bright spots on the education landscape.
Our ever-resourceful Foreign Correspondent David unearthed some inspiring developments from the UK where individuals and institutions are tackling issues both immediate and longstanding.

Second, Eton College, that dusty, 600 year-old institution famously known for spitting out prime ministers, has now turned its attention to helping paramedics, among others.

Both articles reflect truly inspiring examples of noblesse oblige, and I’m delighted to share them with you.
This is the way Old Money behaves in a crisis.
Be safe. Enjoy.
Thank you, David.
