It’s troubling that people say they can’t teach for the first 6 weeks because they must exclusively focus on social-emotional learning before anything else.

oh my god they gave the animatronics arm rods 😭

Parents - this is why from Day One in public schools, your child is already going to learn less. Blame your fellow parents for this one, NOT the schools. I cannot imagine how disgusting this would be for class to be interrupted because a five year old isn’t toilet trained.

Their 11-year-old daughter went on a class trip—only to discover that her hotel roommate (and expected bedmate) was a boy. Today we’re representing them & other CO parents at the 10th Circuit. Kids deserve privacy on overnight trips. Parents deserve the chance to protect them.

{new} The *threat* of holding students back if they can't read properly is a warning to schools to make sure each child is on track in literacy.

O que Hermione Granger faz com seus pais é uma das decisões mais dolorosas e marcantes de toda a saga. Antes de partir em busca das Horcruxes, ela apaga as memórias deles e altera suas identidades para protegê-los de Lord Voldemort e dos Comensais da Morte, que poderiam usá-los para chegar até ela. Seus pais passam a viver uma nova vida, sem qualquer lembrança de que têm uma filha, e Hermione toma essa decisão sem saber se sobreviverá ou se conseguirá desfazer o feitiço no futuro. Isso torna seu sacrifício ainda mais comovente, pois ela parte carregando a possibilidade real de nunca mais ser reconhecida pelas pessoas que mais ama. Esse momento revela a maturidade e a força de Hermione, que coloca a segurança dos pais acima da própria felicidade em um dos atos mais emocionantes de toda a história.

before our Math state test, my 3rd graders did a 5-minute Brain Dump! They divided their paper into 4 sections (place value, fractions, area, multiplication/division) to activate retrieval of everything they've learned this year. Love seeing their thinking!

Are you in favor of students locking their phones up during classroom hours? Many schools across the U.S. are increasingly requiring students to lock up their phones for the entire day, often using magnetic pouches, to reduce distractions and improve focus. By May 2026, over 37 states and D.C. required or encouraged restricting phone use, with many adopting "bell-to-bell" bans that keep phones in locked storage. [1, 2, 3]
