Back to school grump: #aps shared it’s back to #school PD and it’s 1) Gathering the thousands of APS teachers into a room, and 2) listening to a keynote speaker talk about #studentengagement when he works at a #charterschool that declines #IEP students. So, 1) Wear a mask, people, because this sounds like how we start the 2025-26 #COVID outbreak, and 2)This #elementary #teacher will let you all know how #hiphop is going to magically get parents to take their 7 year old to school. 1/3

theguardian.com/society/2025/j. "Working #parents who depend on childminders to look after their #children during the British #school #summer #holidays face bills of as much as £1,800 for 6 weeks’ #childcare, according to new research." £1,800 over 6 weeks is £300 a week, or £60 per day for a 5 day working week. How many parents can afford that?

I was in a school that's connected to TDSB in Toronto and they were using Google's Chromebooks, Microsoft's Windows, USA's Dell...

This is not how you become independent in 2025 especially after Trump!

So I want to push for the change. I'm an immigrant who came to Canada in June 2022. How can make this change? Is there any community in Canada or Toronto that works to spread open-source software everywhere?

Any help would be appreciated!

washingtonpost.com/technology/. "The Public Broadcasting Service will survive - in some form - no matter how the Senate votes this week on a bill aimed at eliminating the $1.1 billion in federal funding allotted for public media over the next 2 years, according to PBS chief Paula Kerger. But for local member stations, the legislative package poses an 'existential' threat... a huge piece of what we do is around kids, & it’s particularly focused on kids before they enter #school."

"By the 1940s, there were over 4,000 #Jews in the city. Several #Jewish institutions had also been established, including three #synagogues, the Jewish Girls’ #School, and the Jewish Ezra #hospital. But #colonialism and circumstances reduced #Calcutta’s #Jewry to a mere handful.

"We were a community of five thousand in the 1940s; now we’re just 20 odd members, aged 60 or above,” says Jael Silliman, #scholar and #author of Jewish Portraits, Indian Frames: Women’s Narratives from a Diaspora of Hope (2001)."
