Eftink scored eight points in the first half and 10 overall by slashing and snaking his way to the basket. All 10 of Eftink’s points were scored in the paint, helping the Raiders to a 50-16 edge in overall points in the paint. muddyriversports.com/high-school/ef…

Why do teachers quit? Maybe it’s the thrown chairs, the students screaming “fucking bitch,” biting them, disrespecting them, and refusing to follow the simplest commands like “please sit down” I dunno. Maybe that has something to do with it fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…

There is a belief that teachers should handle student disrespect with angelic patience.  Wrong. Respect is a two-way street, and teachers deserve dignity—not endless tolerance for bad behavior.

Teacher: Plans a great hands-on, fun lesson! Student: Slept for 2 hours the night prior because they’re addicted to TikTok Administrator: Comes in and notices uninterested, tired student and comments ‘’What do you think you can do for that student to make them more interested?”

If the goal is 100% graduation regardless of effort, we should just hand the diplomas out at freshman orientation. At least then the kids who don't want to be there could leave, and the teachers could get back to the students who actually do.

The “Southern Surge” is the education story of the year An underreported aspect of it are the discipline bills that accompanied the literacy reforms My co-author and I compared the state discipline laws between a handful of red and blue states city-journal.org/article/missis…

The cruel truth: a school that replaces discipline with restorative language merely redistributes suffering, from the chronically disruptive student to every quiet kid who has to live in the fallout.

The fundamental thing that restorative justice advocates overlook is human sin It’s not always “know better, do better” Kids don’t misbehave just because they have an unmet need or don’t know how to act Often, they misbehave because they’re arrogant, it’s fun, simply: sin

If a student cusses out a teacher, they should be suspended out of school I don’t care the reason You let students do that to a teacher, and they can do anything Good luck regaining order, respect, or control after that

Biden: Fires federal workers for refusing the vaccine. Democrats: Silent President Trump: Fires federal workers for wasting taxpayer money. Democrats: It’s the end of Democracy as we know it!

"Meet students where they are" always, always, always seems to mean "make things easier" How about instead we set high standards and raise students to them?

Nothing ruins a school's culture more quickly, severely and assuredly than restorative justice

Everyone is quick to talk about the need to bring back federal workers, but we need to ask ourselves a serious question: if entire departments and divisions are gone, yet nothing changes for the American people, were those government employees truly essential? federalnewsnetwork.com/government-shu…

Today, in the Illinois General Assembly, the GOP honored Charlie Kirk. The Democrats honored George Floyd. We are not the same.

If schools lack the courage to suspend the unruly, they are quietly expelling the innocent.
