Judeo-Christian 

"Among the many #faiths practiced by millions of #Texas #students, a new statewide required #reading list that includes #biblical passages draws from just two traditions: #Protestant #Christianity and #Judaism.

Yet Texas #rabbis say #Jews had no role in shaping how #Judaism appears in the #curriculum, and they disagree with how the lone #Jewish text is presented. Rather than teaching about Judaism on its own terms, they argue, the lessons filter Jewish texts through a #Christian perspective.

The #readinglist, which is expected to go into effect in 2030, will have #publicschool students across the state reading passages from the #NewTestament and mostly Christian #translations of the #Hebrew Bible alongside #literary classics. Of the curriculum’s six #HebrewBible readings, just one uses a Jewish #translation."

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 📝📊 The #SAT was first administered to 8,000 students in June 1926, born from #WorldWarI #military I.Q. tests designed by #Princeton psychologist and eugenicist Carl Brigham.

Now taken by two million #students annually, fewer than 10% of U.S. #colleges require it for fall 2026 admissions, a shift accelerated by the #Covid #pandemic and long standing debates about what the test actually measures. The article traces the test’s #evolution from a tool that helped break into the old boys’ network of elite colleges to an #exam whose scores strongly correlate with family #income.

"High school final exam season is stressful. In Gaza, it’s nearly impossible

With the Tawjihi moved online, students are struggling with unstable internet and constant distraction — all while Israeli attacks threaten their lives.

Every day, Khaled Radi sits inside his family’s tent in southern Gaza, trying to prepare for the most important exams of his life. The sweltering heat, constant noise, unreliable internet, and threat of nearby bombardment make concentration a losing battle. Yet the 18-year-old, who dreams of studying medicine abroad, sees little alternative.

“I struggle daily just to pass these exams,” he told +972 Magazine. “A tent is not a suitable place to study. We go to cafes looking for internet access, constantly worried that there could be a bombing at any moment. But taking the exams is better than not taking them at all and wasting years of our lives for nothing.”

Radi is one of over 37,000 high school students in Gaza currently sitting their final exams, known in Arabic as Tawjihi."

QUOTE OF THE DAY.

"Turn your imagination into colorful and inspiring designs".

#COLOR, #STUDENTS, #KIDS

I'm late to meet the swedish LGBT's at the parade...

Sounded like a fun thing that could start my day. I spoke to some swedish strangers and swedish students at the past event, and there were other embassys nearby (with beautiful people). And it made it look like a purposeful way of participating at the parade. #Students, #equality, sweden as a example of LGBT accepting country...

But in the end, one would expect friend zones for both genres to forge out in these places. That way it could really work as a collective. Not just as appeareance.

"No school, living in a tent, but it’s exam time in Gaza

Dana Shabat, 18, has to walk an hour every day to go to a cafe to take her high school exams in the Gaza Strip."
