What is lurking inside Orange County School Libraries? And in some classrooms...pavementeducationproject.com/orangecountysc…

Wharton researchers gave nearly 1,000 high school math students access to ChatGPT during practice problems Result: chatGPT is the perfect trap. Look at the red bars. Students with ChatGPT crushed their practice sessions. The basic ChatGPT group solved more problems and those on the "tutor" version did even more. Now look at the gray bars. That's the exam. No AI allowed. The ChatGPT group scored 17% worse than kids who practiced with zero technology. And the fancy tutor version? No better than working alone. The researchers called AI a "crutch." When they analyzed what students actually typed into ChatGPT, most of them just wrote - “What’s the answer?” The kicker: students who used ChatGPT believed it hadn't hurt their learning. They were confidently wrong. This is the AI trap in education. Outsourcing your thinking. Of course, lots of half-baked AI literacy curricula being rolled out in schools now Let’s of course ignore that basic literacy (the ability to read) is possible for <50% of 8th graders Source: Bastani et al.

BREAKING: 12,520 teachers have opted out of their unions and joined the Teacher Freedom Alliance. This is the way to hold union bosses accountable. Starve the beast.

This is Staci Metcalf. She is a former employee of Buncombe County Public Schools. She quit her job because she disagreed with the school’s implementation of the Gender Support Guidelines. In one incident at her workplace, a group of second graders was asked by an administrator to address a boy with female pronouns and a new female name. She asked the administrator if they were planning to inform parents of this, and the administrator said, “Why would we do that? The parents would have a problem with it, the children don’t.” Staci says that when schools lack transparency and allow boys to access girls’ private spaces, parents are undermined and students are unsafe. She is asking legislators to do what her local school board will not: get the boys out of girl’s private spaces. #protectourdaughtersnc #ncpol

Congress is broken.

The Salado library board president made this very argument during Monday’s meeting when defending books that depict minors engaged in sex acts. Essentially, “It happens, so it should be represented.” No qualifications, no caveats, no boundaries.

@ProtectSaladoKs Well said. The ALA argument is stupid. Books in public schools should support curriculum goals and build students up, now make them live or relive trauma.

Social media posts on what looks to be from an Assistant Principal at Alexander Graham Middle School in Charlotte, have many people concerned she is around impressionable children each day. One public post on Jan. 25, on a Facebook page attributed to a Micah Johnson Griffith says, “PEOPLE ARE BEING MURDERED IN THE STREET BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT RAPES CHILDREN.” Just four posts earlier on Dec. 12, a post asks people to donate money to help send 8th-grade students to Washington, D.C., for a school field trip. Griffith’s school email address is listed at the bottom of the post. In a separate post, there is a call to “DEFUND ICE. PROSECUTE ICE. IMPEACH TRUMP.” Another post that has many upset is a screenshot put on the timeline saying, “Fascism didn’t just arrive in boots. It came in bouncy houses and Facebook mom groups.” The official social media policy of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools employees says, “Inappropriate personal usage of social media may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from employment.” Of the different policies, many believe that at least four were violated. *Employees must comply with all District policies, including but not limited to standards of conduct and harassment policies. (There’s belief that the posts are harassment against mothers of children at school and against those that may disagree with her or voted for President Trump) *Employees shall not post comments that are hateful, racist, obscene, or vulgar. (They believe there are hateful and vulgar posts aimed at Republicans and mothers that are in Facebook groups) *Employees shall not post any comments, data, documents, photos, or inappropriate information that creates a disruption in the school environment. (An argument could be made a disruption has been created in the school’s environment) *Employees shall not post any comments, data, documents, photos, or inappropriate information that interferes with the efficient operation of the District or undermines the effectiveness of the workplace. (An argument could be made the posts undermines the effectiveness of the school) Screenshots are posted below.

@Brett_Jensen Unacceptable behavior from any school staff member much less admin. What actions will the board or Superintendent take?

BREAKING: The Ohio House just passed the Indecent Exposure Modernization Act, which criminalizes s*xually explicit performances in front of CHILDREN. Every single Democrat voted AGAINST it.

Anita Leis has twin daughters – Ruby and June – in Buncombe County Schools. When Ruby was in 9th grade, she encountered a boy in the girls’ bathroom at her public high school. She asked him why he was in the bathroom, and he intimidated her into leaving. With no time left before class, she had to wait another 90 minutes to go to the bathroom in safety and privacy. School administrators sympathized with Ruby, but said they could do nothing since allowing boys to use the girls’ bathroom was the official policy of Buncombe County Schools’ Board of Education. Anita is asking legislators to do what the local school board will not: protect her daughters in bathrooms and locker rooms. #protectourdaughtersnc #ncpol

@NCValues 2 Genders 2 Bathrooms

The dad stood is ground and refused to back down. We need MUCH more of this. REPOST and amplify his voice! #thinblueline #Lawenforcement

She wins the internet today 🤣🤣🤣

I need more clarity as to why the transgender illegal immigrant on the left was recently sentenced to 6 months in prison for raping a 14-year-old boy in a public bathroom while the grandma on the right was sentenced to 2 years in prison for praying outside of an abortion clinic.

Despite CHCCS’s constant declaration that they’re “complying” with SB49, my team has discovered that their elementary library has a book called “Grandpas Pride.” A book with BDSM men kissing and drag-shows. My team is actively reviewing their entire library system. #ncpol

@nckhui There is a huge problem in spec ed. And why are so many spec ed teachers out and needing subs? Maybe WCPSS needs to survey the teachers and ask for feedback.

Wake County is citing how the majority of CCK & Middle School Essentials teachers aren't properly certified for ending those programs. Board member Chris Heagarty says that could have gotten them in trouble. Asst. Supt. AJ Muttillo says there's a breakdown that happened. #wcpss
