It was a busy news week: We interviewed New York’s education chief MaryEllen Elia, previewed the students most likely to be hurt by a government shutdown, heard from state legislators who are frustrated by a lack of education funds coming out of their state lotteries, and covered the U.S. News & World Report public high school rankings, where, for the first time ever, the majority of the top 10 were charters.

Here are a few other interesting articles we’ve been reading at other outlets this week, that you might have missed amid the breaking headlines:

— The Washington Post (Emma Brown)

— U.S. News & World Report (Sara Mead)
