If you work in schools, are an ed. Therapist or are a parent of a dyslexic child, you need, need, need to listen to this podcast. This is not only a US issue - the teaching methods are also used in NZ and marketed in Germany as well - (though not used in school books) if you ever had a struggling reader in your care, rest assured: „learning your sight words“ is not how we learn to read. https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/sold-a-story/id1649580473 #dyslexia #learntoread #USschools #edtherapy #literacy

Arab American students and parents see US schools very differently − political tensions are widening the gap

The division matters because Arab Americans are one of the fastest-growing immigrant communities in the US – especially in Detroit, Warren and Dearborn, Mich.

PTX Diverse is an advocacy group in Princeton, Texas, one of America’s fastest growing cities. Its goal is to promote diverse education, and it was also the organizer of Princeton’s Pride events for several years. @TexasObserver reports on how the city’s school board used technicalities in its permitting to cancel Pride. “The school board’s votes represent one of the first Pride events ever canceled by a government entity in the state, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Texas, transforming Princeton’s LGBTQ+ advocates into a symbol of progressive Texans’ struggle to survive in pockets of the state that have been targeted for right-wing school board takeovers,” writes Candice Bernd.

I forgot to take a picture of this very nice birthday artwork that my friend's kids made for me and luckily it's still hanging up 10 days later! I'm watching the twin toddlers while the mom goes to a PTA meeting. Pretty cool and understanding of the school district to not allow parents to come to a meeting with younger kids. I wonder why more parents don't participate?
