She Campaigned for a #Texas School Board Seat as a #GOP Hard-Liner. Now She’s Rejecting Her Party’s Extremism.
Courtney Gore, a Granbury ISD school board member, has disavowed the far-right platform she campaigned on after finding no evidence that #students were being indoctrinated by the district’s curriculum. Her defiance has brought her backlash.
The #DepEd is just full of smartasses really, they thought that by moving classes in 2020 to August they can minimize the disruption in education brought by #COVID.
It did minimize it alright, but only for 2020 and 2021. Eventually we will have to return to face-to-face classes, which we did starting 2022 IIRC. Their hubris in keeping children in classes no matter what didn't make them think that we are a tropical country; that their foresight-less act means there will still be classes in April and May, the hottest months in this climate. They're now forced to move it back to June which they will have to do gradually. This brings more disruption as it means students will only get a one-month long vacation instead of the usual two, and the moving schedules mean planning school events far ahead become less certain.
Very cool DepEd. Truly the brightest and bestest of the country. :kokoro_yes: :reimu_sigh:
#Texas School Districts Violated a #Law Intended to Add Transparency to Local #Elections
ProPublica and The Texas Tribune analyzed 35 Texas #school districts that held trustee elections last fall and found none that posted all of the required campaign finance records.
Having just tried it, no. There are many instances of the word "school", but I only saw a single one with "#school".
I often want to use the search to find things, but cannot due to the deluge of irrelevant crap. Also the terms seem broken in that while some work 100% of the time, others 100% of the time fail to function as stated - e.g. asking for "all" results from the last "top 6 hours" ago returns MANY comments from 10 months in the past, though no posts prior to 6 hours ago, so it functions only halfway i.e. it does not work at all if my aim was to find a particular thing.
So if OP wants to use hashtags, and they help, why try to restrict them? We are supposed to be the welcoming Fediverse here!!? :-)
Having just tried it, no. There are many instances of the word “school”, but I only saw a single one with “#school”.
Aye, but if that's the case, if people suddenly started using #school as a 'hashtag' for their posts, you'd have the same issue with finding many instances of the word. It's just unique right now.
That’s not really a tag though, you’d have the same search result just searching for “school”, right?
So it seems relevant to me that the search results are not identical?
Beyond that, it would find many more instances if people started using it, ofc, but the manner in which people use it may still facilitate easier searching - e.g. instead of casually bantering around with "school", "college", "education", "edumacashiun", if you knew that a specific term was used like "#school", then you could still find it easier.
Anyway, I am not here to defend using hashtags - I have no skin in that game and truly don't care one way or another. I just did not want OP to feel attacked like we are a bunch of Karens asking to speak to the manager about their choice of language:-P. Lemmy has little enough content as it is - we want moar content creators, not to turn away people offering us free stuff to distract us from the pain of existence enjoy!?:-)
The social norm is constructed: not naturally occurring but created by the society in which it is found.
Hence there are no actions which in themselves are inherently #abnormal or universally condemned by all societies at all times. Deviance is thus situational and contextual.
Rough contact and impact peak around the age of seven. This is gradually replaced by peer monitoring in the years that follow.
Isabelle Clair: "Adolescence is a very normative age. At middle school, "there's a very tough relationship to what's the right thing to do".
Margot Déage: "Physical violence is much more prevalent in elementary/primary school, then decreases in middle school, and progressively through high school."
Margot Déage: "A girl who does not belong to a boy or a man can fall into the category of whore at any time, whatever her clothes or sexual practices."
Margot Déage: "Being in a position to say who’s a whore and who’s a good girl is a power in itself within the girls’ group, a power that is strongly mobilised by certain girls. The ones who can fall, in general, are the hardest on the matter."
Book ban efforts spike across the U.S., new data shows.
ABC News reports the American Library Association "recorded 4,240 unique book titles that were targeted for removal or restriction in schools and libraries. ... About 47% of the titles targeted were by or about the LGBTQ community and/or people of color."
New paper alert! @ChrystalaPsathiti and I argue in our paper in the Journal of Architecture published today that adolescents' positive perceptions of school depend (among other things) on the school layout and levels of visibility from the classroom, which enables a greater sense of belonging to the school community
Liberty University Hit With Record Fines for Failing to Handle Complaints of #SexualAssault, Other #Crimes

Kid needs permission slip to listen to a Black person at school???
Hard agree with commenter who says, "[T]otally predictable outcome of the parents rights movement that says that parents should be legally allowed to pass on their prejudice to children with zero interference at school."

#Idaho Legislature Takes Up Bill to Help #School Districts Repair and Replace Buildings
The bill would provide $1.5 billion in new funding in a state where communities have struggled to pass bonds even as some #students learn in freezing and overcrowded classrooms with leaky ceilings and discolored drinking water.
