@GhaleonQ Yep. Ending the K-8 model is essential and returning to traditional middle schools would certainly help.

• MPS is spending $8,000,000 to serve weird class sizes: 2 18s to 20s when 36 to 40 would be too much. Superintendent Cassellius said, "This is why we need to be prudent and merge schools." It gives opportunity and access to kids and cuts down on teacher travel, she says.

@CorriHess I predicted this a few years ago. Folks are tired of being taxed twice for education. I just hope those that live in GOP represented districts hold their lawmakers accountable.

While most are focusing on the Gov race with the Marquette Law School Poll, this jumps out at me (Education reporter):
For the first time, a majority, 57%, say they would be inclined to vote against a referendum to increase taxes for schools in their community.

I am a huge @MayaSmart fan! Buy her book for the new parent in your life.
It helps parents, no expertise needed, help their children grow vocabulary, decode words, and love learning.

MPS Superintendent Brenda Cassellius informed staff of a major shakeup today.
She plans to move 40 certified teachers out of their jobs at central office and put them back into classrooms. Beyond that, she plans to announce her proposed new leadership structure next week.

There is a culture and industry focused on getting kids to 'calm down', instead of teaching them. This topic needs to be elevated.

A man who literally gave his life for the betterment of his country was erased on the word of a feckless human being that refused to serve. Utterly despicable. Whitewashing at its finest. #RememberMedgar #AlwaysAlcorn
Jerry Mitchell@JMitchellNews
World War II veteran Medgar Evers, whom President Trump called “a great American hero,” has been erased from the Arlington National Cemetery website, which featured a section honoring Black Americans who fought in the nation’s wars. The U.S. Army purged the section that had lauded the late Army sergeant and civil rights leader, who was assassinated by a white supremacist in Jackson in 1963. The decision to erase Evers came after an executive order by Trump to eliminate all Diversity, Equality and Inclusion programs. Former Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Reuben Anderson, who gave Trump a 2017 tour of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, said he can’t imagine the president would want Evers removed. “That’s got to be a mistake,” he said. “That involves a great American who served in the military and was one of the most courageous Americans of all time.” The White House could not be reached for comment. Evers is far from the only war veteran whose name has been struck from the website. So was Army Maj. Gen. Charles Calvin Rogers, who was awarded the Medal of Honor in the Vietnam War. “He got shot three times in Vietnam and survived,” said U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson. “History has not been kind to minorities, whether women, people of color or religious groups. Part of what we do in the greatest democracy known to man is to correct the record.” mississippitoday.org/2025/03/17/wwi…

@marclamonthill Precisely. I feel this same way about the confederate flag.

This isn't "trolling." This is despicable, disgusting, and indefensible behavior. Even if this is the actual motivation behind Ye's stunt -and I don't believe it is- there is absolutely no acceptable reason to wear, sell, or otherwise promote a swastika in any context.

Kanye trolls Jewish people wearing a swastika shirt in LA. This is how Black people feel when Jewish label owners push drill and gangsta music on our people.

Not shocking at all. This has been echoed for many years. And I believe there should be authoritative oversight by @GovEvers, @WisconsinDPI.

An audit of Milwaukee Public Schools ordered by Gov. Evers found a "culture of fear" in the district and a resistance to meaningful change. With overlapping jobs and lots of moving parts, it calls for an organizational overhaul: cbs58.com/news/evers-mps…
