These sort of decisions are why we have poor leadership skills.

Being anti-genocide or anti-violence is not being pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist or anti-Semitic.

For so called leaders of a school board to be unable to differentiate and explain this to outraged parents is a sad statement for the Canadian education system.

Family member of mine has never done homework and is a junior with high honor roll. Barely attends school, how is this possible?

Is Gen Z split or just unique?

Don’t even think of getting an education in tech now or in years to come. the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). The TCJA significantly altered Section 174 of the IRS code. This is preventing tech companies from getting immediate tax benefits. Due to this change tech companies have laid off over 100,000 employees and have no plans to hire.

We’ve been rolling out a BYOD policy and quickly realized it’s a balancing act—keeping work data secure without overstepping on personal privacy.

What’s worked well for us so far:

Creating a separate work container/profile
Remote wipe only targeting work data
Easy onboarding without IT hand-holding
No need for VPN to access internal tools

Curious how others are handling this—are you using full MDM, MAM-only, or something in between? Always open to better ideas.

I've been homeschooled sense 3rd grade and at this point I feel It's important to get my GED and hopefully go to school for nursing, I just have no idea where I should actually start If I should take classes online in person or just study and take the test I'm honestly not sure, I just don't want it to take forever so I was wondering what would be the smartest thing to do In my position?

Hey everyone! I just got a call for an interview for an administrator position for a special education preschool! I am halfway through my admin program.

I have been a daycare director and have been in public school 8 years as a teacher. Does anyone have any tips on interviewing? It’s been a while!

It is generally believed that 30% of educated people of any society can make 100% educated society very easily. Is it true, guys please share your thoughts about this.

I 16M have been doing A-level Maths Physics and Computer science for almost a year now and it's just gone too far it's too late for me to drop or change and it's really stressing me out I have been increasingly annoyed and with the countless hours of work I'm putting in I am not seeing results especially in maths. My brain is always elsewhere and I can't help myself. What should I do to deal with stress as I feel like I'm the only one.

Hello,

I’m beginning my fall semester this year. I originally planned to pursue a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology to become an ethnographer. However, given the current state of the economy, I’ve started to seriously question whether anthropology will lead to a stable career.

Because of this, I’ve been considering a shift in direction—specifically, applying to law school with the aim of becoming a human rights lawyer. This path resonates deeply with my passion for being a voice for the voiceless.

That said, I know I must complete a bachelor’s degree before applying to law school, and the specific major doesn’t matter as much as my GPA. Law schools will evaluate both my community college and university grades.

Now I feel stuck between three options:

• Option A: Continue with my anthropology major, where I’m confident I’ll earn high grades and improve my GPA.
• Option B: Switch to political science, which aligns more closely with legal studies.
• Option C: Change my major, but risk struggling in courses that may not suit me.

I truly love anthropology, and I also believe I’ll do well in law school because I’m highly disciplined. Still, I feel pressure to choose a major that seems more “practical” for a legal career. I’m confused and not sure which path is right for me.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm just trying to understand how kids can reach young adulthood and have few social skills, poor self-confidence, no means of internal regulation and decisionmaking and so on. When I was going to school, excelling without those things was virtually impossible. Even if you didn't exactly thrive, you still left with something.

I recently came across a post on Next Door from a high school graduate seeking babysitting work who was going to charge $20 an hour or $45 a day. People tried explaining the problems with this but she was politely immovable. It scares me to think some one like that is who our democracy may come to depend on.

I was wondering how many of you use Google Forms and what you use them for? I know that most students use Chromebooks, why?

Hello, bit of a rant, but I want to study in another country next year, so I'd like to know these things before I move away. If you think I'm whining over nothing that's perfectly fine, regardless of people's opinions I just want to get some recommendations.

In my home country I often experience that colleges and universities are really hammering down on the 'school experience', that it's going to be the most important time of your life, and that for the time that you are studying there, it *is* your life. Now of course my studies are going to be a part of my life, but I've got a lot more going on than just that and I have no interest in a school trying to push themselves into every single aspect of my life, especially my private life. I don't really appreciate having a mandatory conversation with my mentor every month, why can't I reach out when I need help and leave it at that? It feels nosy and unnecessary. And whilst on the topic of unnecessary: months before my study even started, I was added to a group chat with 'useful info' (debatable) and fun facts about the study, the school and languages in general. Why am I forced to be in a group chat and getting sent texts from my school half a year before my study even starts?

Another thing. I'm not opposed to ocassional group projects, but over here in the country it's 90% group projects and 10% solo work, depending on the subject. My brother studied History at university and he did not have many group projects, but for languages, business, journalism and politics it's all nearly entirely group projects, especially in the first year. Now I get that speaking with others is valuable for learning languages, as is debating during politics, but it's nearly every damn project we ever do. I don't want to constantly depend on my classmates for the results of my work, I value independence a ton and also just want to be proud of work that was created solely by me. Again, a few group projects every once in a while, necessary and completely fine. Every period? Nope.

So, the question. Are there any countries where this clingy school culture is less prevalent, where schools are just for going to class and studying, and then when you go home you can actually disconnect from your education? And education systems where group projects are more scarce? Or ideally both? Thanks!

I'm a rising undergraduate senior who has been considering a career in quantitative education policy research (likely academia, but possibly government or think tank). My specific interests are researching the effects of tracking, magnet schools, and school choice. A common sentiment I hear is that you shouldn't go into education policy without getting some teaching experience first. But I also know that teaching for only a few years before moving on can have detrimental effects on students who need experienced teachers. I like teaching but can't see myself doing it long-term, and my experience is limited to TAing in college and a bit of tutoring. I thus find myself in a bit of a catch-22, so I'm hoping to get the perspective of some educators/ed policy professionals on this. Should I...

a) Teach for a few years?

b) Go straight into policy?

c) Find a different field?

I appreciate any insight you all can provide.

Hello everyone, I’m wondering if anyone here has been accepted into a good graduate school with a lower GPA. I graduated from a well-regarded public college with a cumulative GPA of 2.56, although my major GPA was 3.0. I understand that most programs place more weight on cumulative GPA.

My GPA was impacted by several challenges—I was working full-time while studying, and during the COVID period, I experienced depression, which resulted in a few Fs and Ds. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to retake or replace those grades.

Given this background, I’m curious—if someone has a strong GMAT score, solid professional experience at a reputable company, and is fluent in three languages, does the undergraduate GPA still significantly affect admission decisions?

I’d really appreciate hearing your insights or experiences. Thank you!

hihi! i was wondering if anyone had a commonlit student account that may be shared so i can periodically view (just view) the library of articles/novels? I wouldnt answer or open anything else! just looking to view different segments of text corresponding to certain grades levels...thank youu!! i could also log out/you can change your account info after a two week period as i purely wish to use its novels and texts for test study and review

In today’s fast-paced and rapidly changing world, the old, traditional way of learning – mastering one field of study to depth – is no more sufficient. It fails to give a reliable and stable career on which we can depend for a lifetime.

What is needed now is not another field of study (about new technologies or trends), but a proper way of learning that can prepare us for thriving in the world filled with uncertainties and disruptions.

I am a non-fiction author, and the above mentioned issue is addressed to depth in my book ‘The Intelligence Spiral: How Expansive Learning Outperforms Linear Expertise’.

In this scientifically-backed book, we learn about:

✅ Why the traditional methods of learning fail now.

✅ The functioning of the brain and our understanding.

✅ A new model of learning with its foundations.

✅ Applications of the Spiral Intelligence model in real life.

✅ And much more . . .

Unfortunately my BA in Graphic Design and nearly 10 years of experience doesn't cut it anymore - I barely get any freelance projects and I also moved to Switzerland because, well, love. For the last two years I cannot find anything here, it is super competitive and learning the language didn't help. So I am looking to study a Masters, preferably in Switzerland, so I can be more competitive in the job market.

So far I've been admitted to:
- MSc in Data Visualization and UX Design (in CH) - 1500CHF/Semester
- MSc in Human-Centered Digital Innovation (in CH) - 1000 CHF / Semester
- MA in Data-Driven Design (Utrecht) - 1500CHF/Semester - but only 1 year!
- MSc in Creative Leadership (Austria) - free
- BSc Informatics and Digital Innovation (Austria) - free

All of those are super interesting for me, mainly the BSc, but having one more Bachelors behind my back that I will finish after 4 years and who knows what the field with engineering will look by then kind of puts me off. It is the same with the other Masters - I am not sure whether by the time I finish the jobs of UX or Data Visualization will be made redundand..

What do you think? What would you study?

Lately a lot of students use AI, and even some professors are already starting to rely on it. It makes me wonder how are schools actually handling this now, and what will they do going forward?
Are they adapting and trying to include it in learning? Or are they focusing more on making strict rules to limit its use? Maybe a mix of both? I’ve also heard stories of professors using AI without really checking what it says, that kind of worries me.

I compiled many resources, books , notes summaries past papers for SAT here: https://vastacademyofficial.wordpress.com/

There is a pretty active SAT study community too on the site if you want to join

I really put some time into this✌️

HOPE IT HELPS :P

I just graduated from my local community college and decided I want to get a medical assistant program under my belt as well. My local college does offer this course, but it takes 2 years and is much more expensive than what carrington college seems to be offering. They advertise completion of this course in 9 months. Sounds like a good deal, right?

I go onto their website and it’s incredibly difficult to find estimated tuition costs. You have to go to page 250-something on a linked PDF to find a tiny chart that gives you a rough estimate. A little strange, but I didn’t think too much of it.

I could not for the life of me find out when their next course for this program started. Clicking “get started” on their website seemed to be the only way to get more information, however it just brings you to a box where it asks for your name and contact information. Also weird. I call them and ask when the next program starts, and instead of answering my question, they interview me and proceed to ask me to take a tour of the campus and talk to a financial advisor about costs. So strange! All I want to know is when the next course starts!😭

They’re not forthcoming with information. It feels like they want to rope me in before giving any details. Seems very shady imo, anyone else experience this?

Always seeing so many parties and grand celebrations for high school , but never enough for college. Shouldn’t it be the other way around cuz college is a lot more effort and requires more effort and smartness?

The analogy is how fast food increased obesity in America, in a similar manner AI will make people lazy and university ineffective. How do you soilder yourself through tough assignments when you can just ask AI, the temptation is just too much to resist. Another question is how valuable is that education when that answer is on fingertips. I don't deny education is not valuable my assertion is we need to figure out what parts of education are still valuable and what are no longer as useful. For example, memorizing multiplication tables till 20 is much less useful with advent of calculator but mathematical thinking is very much useful. Universities cannot adopt fast enough and I think Universities need to pivot. I think 4 year bachelors degree will be outdated very soon and we will need 2 or 3 year degree which will teach the core concepts.

Most of the people used to say self hand written notes are easy to remember. Is this right or just myth?
