Blueprint for change or another blow to North Lawndale? A call to close 3 schools and open another has split a Chicago community in need of rebuilding.
Two North Lawndale groups submitted a proposal this month to Chicago Public Schools for a new, "state-of-the-art" STEAM elementary school to serve 650 to 700 students.

But not everyone in the community supports the idea, and some were taken aback by their neighbors' intent to close Lawndale Community Academy and Sumner Math and Science Community Academy in Lawndale, as well as Crown Community Academy of Fine Arts near the border of Lawndale and Little Village.

The Morning: Your best advice of 2024

Readers of The Morning share wisdom for the coming year. View in browser | nytimes.com December 28, 2024 By Melissa Kirsch Good morning. As we close out this year and look ahead to the new one, here's the best advice that readers of The Morning received this year. María Jesús Contreras Good advice The piece of wisdom I repeated the most this year came from a reader of The Morning who answered my call for advice last December: "We are all juggling so many balls. Differentiate between glass balls and rubber balls — and don't be afraid to drop the rubber balls." Everyone with whom I shared this little gem seemed to find it useful (or maybe they were humoring me?). I'm not sure why this particular advice stuck with me — really, it's just saying "learn to prioritize," a colorful riff on "don't sweat the small stuff." For whatever reason, picturing the messy, ungovernable realm of worries and to-dos as rubber and glass balls helped me think...

We're covering Biden and other world leaders' unpopularity — plus the Baltimore bridge collapse, Boeing's quality problems and Lizzo. President Biden with the French president, Emmanuel Macron.  Doug Mills/The New York Times The four I's By many measures, President Biden is very unpopular. Since at least World War II, no president has had a worse disapproval rating at this point in his term . Relative to his international peers, however, Biden looks much better. Many leaders of developed democracies have disapproval ratings even higher than Biden's, as this chart by my colleague Ashley Wu shows: Source: Morning Consult | Data was collected from Feb. 26 to March 6, 2024. | By The New York Times Many world leaders are also up for re-election. More than 60 countries — half of the worl...

The Morning: Electoral wishcasting

Plus, the Pelicot trial, government funding and an art world mystery. View in browser | nytimes.com December 19, 2024 By David Leonhardt Good morning. We're covering a lesson from the Democrats' 2024 defeat — as well as the Pelicot trial, government funding and an art world mystery. President Biden   Kenny Holston/The New York Times Rose-colored analysis The Democrats' 2024 defeat had many causes, starting with inflation and immigration. In today's newsletter, I'll examine another item on the list: candidate quality. This subject might seem backward-looking, given that neither of this year's candidates, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, is likely to be the party's presidential nominee again. But it's relevant to the party's future. The party will probably help its chances in 2028 and beyond if it can become more forthright — and less wishful — about its own leaders. The Harris selection The first key moment in this story occurred in the summer of 2020, ...
