<p> <strong>John Reynolds</strong> is the newsletters editor for the Tribune. Prior to that, he was a reporter for Quorum Report, a non-partisan online political newsletter focusing on the ins and outs under the Dome, for more than seven years – covering the waterfront from health and human services and redistricting to pensions and elections. A native of Atlanta, Ga., he started his journalistic career one day after the attacks of Sept. 11 in Lubbock, Texas, where he rotated through a slew of beats at The Avalanche-Journal. He received his undergraduate degree from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and studied at the University of Georgia's graduate school in journalism. When not at work, he actively attempts to convince himself he is adept at tennis with varying levels of success. And he has adopted the Austin custom of appreciating smoked meats and listening to music in grassy/muddy fields. </p> <ul class="social_links"> <li><a href="/web/20150807013933/http://www.texastribune.org/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#9df7eff8e4f3f2f1f9eedde9f8e5fceee9eff4ffe8f3f8b3f2effa"> <i class="icon-envelope"></i> <span><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="80eaf2e5f9eeefece4f3c0f4e5f8e1f3f4f2e9e2f5eee5aeeff2e7">[email protected]</span><script cf-hash="f9e31" type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */!function(){try{var t="currentScript"in document?document.currentScript:function(){for(var t=document.getElementsByTagName("script"),e=t.length;e--;)if(t[e].getAttribute("cf-hash"))return t[e]}();if(t&&t.previousSibling){var e,r,n,i,c=t.previousSibling,a=c.getAttribute("data-cfemail");if(a){for(e="",r=parseInt(a.substr(0,2),16),n=2;a.length-n;n+=2)i=parseInt(a.substr(n,2),16)^r,e+=String.fromCharCode(i);e=document.createTextNode(e),c.parentNode.replaceChild(e,c)}}}catch(u){}}();/* ]]> */</script></span> </a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150807013933/tel:512-716-8656"> <i class="icon-phone"></i> <span>512-716-8656</span> </a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150807013933/http://twitter.com/johnreynoldstt" target="_blank"> <i class="icon-twitter"></i> <span>@johnreynoldstt</span> </a></li> </ul> </div> <section id="contributions"> <a name="contributions"></a> <h2>Recent Contributions</h2> <div class="contributions"> <nav class="pagination"> <ul class="pagination"><li class="disabled"><span class="disabled prev"><span>&lsaquo;</span> previous</span></li><li><span class="current page">1</span></li><li><a href="?page=2#contributions" class="page">2</a></li><li><a href="?page=3#contributions" class="page">3</a></li><li><a href="?page=4#contributions" class="page">4</a></li><li><a class="disabled">…</a></li><li><a href="?page=69#contributions" class="page">69</a></li><li><a href="?page=70#contributions" class="page">70</a></li><li><a href="?page=71#contributions" class="page">71</a></li><li><a href="?page=72#contributions" class="page">72</a></li><li class="last"><a href="?page=2#contributions" class="next">next <span>&rsaquo;</span></a></li></ul> </nav> <article class=""> <header> <h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150807013933/https://www.texastribune.org/plus/edu/">New in Trib+Edu: Rise of the Free-Range Playground</a></h1> </header> <div class="media story_page"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150807013933/https://www.texastribune.org/plus/edu/"> <img src="//web.archive.org/web/20150807013933im_/http://s3.amazonaws.com/static.texastribune.org/media/images/2014/04/17/TribPlus-EDU_jpg_260x1000_q100.jpg" alt=""> </a> <div class="photo_links"> <a href="//web.archive.org/web/20150807013933/http://s3.amazonaws.com/static.texastribune.org/media/images/2014/04/17/TribPlus-EDU_jpg_800x1000_q100.jpg" title="" class="lightbox enlarge">Enlarge</a> <cite>Photo illustration by Jacob Villanueva</cite> </div> </div> <header> <ul class="meta separator"><li class="byline"> by <a href="/web/20150807013933/http://www.texastribune.org/about/staff/reynolds-john/">John Reynolds</a></li><li><time datetime="Thu, 6 Aug 2015 06:00:00 -0500" title="2015-08-06 06:00"> Aug. 6, 2015 </time></li></ul> </header> <section class="summary"> <p><span>In this week's edition of the Trib+Edu newsletter: Public playgrounds experiment with giving kids free range, Head Start benefits proving difficult to demonstrate </span><span>and an interview with <span>Daniel R.
