How School Board Meetings Became Flashpoints for Anger and Chaos Across the Country
In the first wide-ranging analysis of school board unrest, ProPublica found nearly 60 incidents that led to arrests or criminal charges. Almost all were in suburban districts, and nearly every participant was white.
#Idaho Banned #Abortion. Then It Turned Down Supports for Pregnancies and Births.
Since the #SupremeCourt overturned Roe v. Wade last year, the state’s GOP-led Legislature has disbanded a maternal mortality committee, failed to expand postpartum #Medicaid coverage and turned down federal grants for child care.
Yesterday after work I drove to East #finland with a rental car. (That was the first time I drove this year.) There was a car accident on the road, and a traffic jam. We got heavy rain.. I got lost once. Once the navigator said the road was blocked but it wasn't. But I did it and #today I saw my #parents. 😍 #AlzheimersSucks I haven't told you but my mother has #dementia now as well. #suomimastodon#roadtrip
#Parents of Mastodon, does anyone have a solution for a teenager who loses things constantly? Trying to teach him to put things in their place is not working, and he's lost more cards and wallets than I can count. It's one of the main reasons why he doesn't have keys to the apartment yet. The latest was the laundry card this morning. He put his laundry in the washer, and lost it sometime during the 30 minutes it takes to wash the clothes. And that was after me putting $50 on it. I! Am! Soooooo! Frustrated!!!
I've been so #busy. Tomorrow after #work I will travel to East #Finland to take care of my #parents. The distance is 320 km (200 miles). My #mother has an appointment at the hospital on Thursday, 78 km away (50 miles) from her home. We need to take a taxi to get there. I will also go to see my father in an Alzheimer's nursing home, I need to work remotely in my godparents house and I will spend nights there. #today 🥴
Sondage express pour la team #parents : avez-vous le sentiment que la parentalité est une expérience fatigante, plus fatigante qu'elle ne l'était pour les générations précédentes ? Si oui, qu'est-ce qui vous épuise le plus ? Avez-vous déjà connu/frôlé le burnout ?
An Experiment to Fight Pandemic-Era Learning Loss Launches in #Richmond
After intense opposition and skepticism, two elementary #schools opened 20 days early to help #students make up for what they missed during the time of #RemoteLearning.
The first question: Would kids show up in the middle of #summer for extra schooling?
#Parents of Mastodon, could you recommend a game, that is not Minecraft, or Roblox that is multiplayer that I can play with my 4 year old and 6 year old?
Mainly looking for a game for my 4 year old. He likes Minecraft, but stupidly it triggers my motion sickness. I struggle to play for longer than 15 minutes. I have to really force myself to stick around for longer than that.
Absenteeism has nearly doubled since the #pandemic. With state and federal governments largely abdicating any role in getting #kids back into classrooms, some #schools have turned to private companies for a reimagined version of the truant officer.
An Expert Who Has Testified in Foster Care Cases Across #Colorado Admits Her Evaluations Are Unscientific
Diane Baird labeled her method for assessing families the “Kempe Protocol” after the renowned University of Colorado institute where she worked for decades.
"Sixty-four percent of #Jewish#parents say their #student has eliminated at least one potential #college, 96 percent say they are worried about #antisemitism on #campus and 80 percent say they are focused on campus safety in their college search process."
Hello Mastodon #friends . I have been #busy at #work. Yesterday I worked till 7pm. I bought a membership to a local #gym and exercising takes time. I haven't had time to be online so I wanted to say hello and ask how are you doing? #Today I will drive to the east #Finland by a rental car. Wish me luck that everything goes well. I will go to see my #family - my twin #sister and my #parents and my brother's ex wife. I have a holiday today. 🫶🙂
I pick up on people's emotions and mental state. It's both a gift and a curse. All that to say the nervous energy around the house today was exhausting.
A letter to parents from the SSTUWA

Dear parents,
It is likely that your child’s public school may be closed on the morning of Tuesday 23 April 2024. If it is open, it won’t be for lessons as normal. #union#sstuwa#westernAustralia#teachers#teachersStrike#education#parents
