📰 Credit Recovery: A Second Chance To Pass or Fail? Power in Pride: Reclaiming Q***r Activism in NYC. We Can't Afford to Skip Financial Literacy. How to Improve Restorative Justice in NYC Schools.

🔬 Save Our City, a video game to save lives. Reef Reborn. Breaking the Cycle. Analysis of Phobias.

🎓 Those are not think tank white papers. They are titles by high school students. The first four come from the Youth Journalism Coalition, the next four from the City College of New York STEM Institute.

🧑‍⚖️ Every one was defended on video and scored by three experts who have never met the student, against one public standard. You can watch the video, read the sources the student staked it on, and see who reviewed it.

🌍 Talent is evenly distributed. The proof of it never was.

👉 Twelve projects are published and readable right now: https://hscred.com

🕵️ The auditor came to catch a fake. A Harlem school turned around in 18 months, and nobody believed it, so the audits came every week for a year and a half.

📋 The big one asked for the usual proof: bubble sheets, attendance, a syllabus. She got all of it. Then she got something no audit has a row for: the student's own video, defending what he learned.

😢 She watched it and cried. Her words: I have no doubt the kid learned. I just watched him defend his learning.

🎙️ One story from a full hour on Talk Out of School, WBAI 99.5 FM, hosted by Kaliris Salas-Ramirez with Leonie Haimson and Daniel Alicea. The rest of the hour is just as good.

🎓 College admissions this year: AI reading essays written by AI. No human in the loop.

📉 The test lost our trust years ago. Now the essay is gone too. Admissions offices are flying blind at the exact moment applications break records.

🧭 One rule would fix most of it: never grade a student on anything not backed by real work.

🎙️ This is one moment from a full hour on Talk Out of School, WBAI 99.5 FM, hosted by Kaliris Salas-Ramirez with Leonie Haimson and Daniel Alicea. If you work anywhere near admissions, hear the whole thing.

🥅 Why do families still believe the test is the ticket? Neuroscientist, medical educator, and NYC school board member Kaliris Salas-Ramirez answers with a line from the great Deborah Meier that she cannot shake: standardized tests are meant to single out winners and losers.

🎯 Prep all you want. The goalpost moves anyway.

🎙️ Kaliris hosts Talk Out of School on WBAI 99.5 FM with Leonie Haimson and Daniel Alicea. It is the sharpest hour in NYC education radio, and this episode shows why. Follow her: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaliris-salas-ramirez-phd-45626b15/

🎬 A student turned in a video with AI in it. His classmates called it out in seconds. No dude, that is AI. You look stupid.

😅 The students who used AI spent more time hiding it than the honest ones spent making their videos. Their conclusion: not doing that again.

🧠 AI is built to eliminate struggle. Real work requires it. Kids know the difference the moment a real audience is watching.

AI can help students master content. 🤖📚 But PERFORMANCE-based assessment requires something AI can’t replace: a human audience. 👥 Who wants their children presenting to a robot?

The same is true in college admissions. 🎓 In a crowded field, students must communicate their authentic voice, character, and potential. When AI takes over, that humanity gets lost—and students may learn the lesson too late. ⚠️

📚 School is back, and there is a new kid in every classroom. It reads, writes, and finishes the homework in seconds. Nobody agrees on what to do about it. 🤖

🎙️ I got into it on WBAI's Talk Out of School with Kaliris Salas-Ramirez. Follow her: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaliris-salas-ramirez-phd-45626b15/ (with co-hosts Leonie Haimson and Daniel Alicea). The episode 👉 https://www.wbai.org/archive/program/episode/?id=66679

🎧 This week, On the Media ran a sharp piece on AI creeping into classrooms 👉 https://www.wnyc.org/browse/shows/episode/simplecast/08b09ce1-2691-4b68-85f4-1153e7c9c7af

📩 Forward both to a teacher or a parent. Better to argue about this in September than in June.

As we bid adieu to the spectacular CCNY STEM Institute Summer 2026 HSCred Pilot, I am amazed by the remarkable team I worked with. The graph illustrates an impressive surge in new student submissions, a testament to the vast potential this initiative uncovers.

With expert committees ready to evaluate, the forthcoming publication of this work is exciting. I've had the unique opportunity to preview the incoming videos. Spoiler alert: They're nothing short of phenomenal.
