File this under people send me stuff. A teacher who shall remain anonymous (no relation to me in case you are curious) shared some observations from several teachers’ groups with which they are a member. Summary: people are ALREADY giving up on a typical school year next year.
If the threat of the Chinese Wuhan Virus is to be taken seriously enough that government schools had to be closed for the rest of the year it might be time to re-think public education operating out of huge child and administrator warehouses.
School Leaders, Taking a step back from the on-going management of the COVID-19 circumstances each of you face on the ground, the range of scenarios that might result in a disruption of education in your building could be, from worst case – public health orders the closure of your facility to, best case for disruption … Read more
We are strong advocates for having trained armed teachers and staff in our schools. Preferably concealed carry and no way for anyone to know who is armed at any given time. Just that they are numerous and present every day. Kentucky has taken a different path.
I wonder if teachers and administrators at Windham High School in New Hampshire, and other schools throughout the state, realize that having campaign signs and other campaign materials in the classroom is likely a misdemeanor in the state of NH?
In the article titled: “Volinsky calls for Edelblut to go,” (Union Leader, Dec. 18) Executive Councilor Andru Volinsky argues that Commissioner Edelblut has advanced policies that weaken financial support for public schools.
Wakefield is holding another public session on a potential introduction of Common Core to its curriculum. As noted here, back in October, the town has – until now – shown no interest in the standard. Now it seems like something or someone is hot to embrace it.
Very few things about this hobby make me go, ‘what the..?’. This, I admit, comes close. Public schools are not just filling heads with progressive mush. The curriculum includes educating elementary school kids in radicalized left-wing community organizing.
California’s radical “Health Education Framework” is child abuse, and violates the sacred trust that parents have placed in public education. Most parents are unaware of the trauma to which their children are exposed.
Democrat policies destroy the family and dumb down education. So, it’s only natural that anyone capable of any level of achievement must have some other advantage. And to be fair to everyone else, let’s put the brakes on that and end honors and AP classes in High School.
Here’s a bit of contrast for you. A 12-yer old girl makes a gun shape with her fingers and fires it at her classmates. Before the day is over, she is arrested and charged with a felony. If she were in Nashua, she could have beat the crap out of a student, and nothing much would happen.

You come here to read what we think. We also offer you the opportunity to hear it as well. What we think, that is – about a lot of things. But maybe you’re not in for 60 minutes of the latter. So, how about 5 minutes or less?
Are you satisfied with the public schools in the Lakes Region? Are you satisfied with the way our public schools are being run into the ground by our elected school board members, members of the staff at the SAUs, and the teacher unions? Are you satisfied with Political Correctness run amok in our public schools … Read more
The battle of separation of church and state has been raging for decades. Lawyers today, struggle with the idea that students and especially teachers, can bring their Bibles into school. But today, students across America are bringing their Bibles to school.
The worst thing you could do if you support school safety is to defend the Democrat’s anti-gun laws. Parkland proved that. The gatekeepers screwed up every opportunity to protect kids. It was so bad that the Parkland Commission recommended arming staff and teachers.
The left teaches protest to create perception. Look at these folks who came out to say this or that. Or, more recently, to harm or intimidate other protesters with whom they disagree. So, what about Students protesting during school? Yes? No?
With Learn Everywhere back in the news, discussions about the program tend to involve errors of fact (e.g., that costs for the program would be incurred by local districts) and errors of reasoning (e.g., that offering more alternatives to some students somehow means harming other students). But to me, the discussions are most notable for the way they seek to perpetuate the double standard that defenders of the status quo like to hide behind.
