    "Among the many #faiths practiced by millions of #Texas #students, a new statewide required #reading list that includes #biblical passages draws from just two traditions: #Protestant #Christianity and #Judaism.

    Yet Texas #rabbis say #Jews had no role in shaping how #Judaism appears in the #curriculum, and they disagree with how the lone #Jewish text is presented. Rather than teaching about Judaism on its own terms, they argue, the lessons filter Jewish texts through a #Christian perspective.

    The #readinglist, which is expected to go into effect in 2030, will have #publicschool students across the state reading passages from the #NewTestament and mostly Christian #translations of the #Hebrew Bible alongside #literary classics. Of the curriculum’s six #HebrewBible readings, just one uses a Jewish #translation."

  6. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 📝📊 The #SAT was first administered to 8,000 students in June 1926, born from #WorldWarI #military I.Q. tests designed by #Princeton psychologist and eugenicist Carl Brigham.

    Now taken by two million #students annually, fewer than 10% of U.S. #colleges require it for fall 2026 admissions, a shift accelerated by the #Covid #pandemic and long standing debates about what the test actually measures. The article traces the test’s #evolution from a tool that helped break into the old boys’ network of elite colleges to an #exam whose scores strongly correlate with family #income.

  11. I used the 22-minute After School Special "THE HALLOWEEN THAT ALMOST WASN'T" starring Judd Hirsch and Mariette Hartley as a classroom Halloween treat every year during my career, following its release in 1979.

  13. Muntinlupa Mayor Thanks Taxpayers For Back-To-School Program

    Recently in the city of Muntinlupa, the City Government distributed packages of school supplies to public school students and Mayor Ruffy Biazon expressed his gratitude to the taxpayers for their contributions to the local back-to-school program, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

    Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon, citing the vital role of taxpayers’ contributions, led the distribution of the city government’s “Balik Eskwela” packages to public school students on Tuesday, June 16.

    “Salamat sa taxpayers kaya we are able to provide free school supplies to public school students (Thanks to the taxpayers, we are able to provide free school supplies to public school students),” Biazon said.

    Each package contains backpacks, notebooks, pens and pencils, pencil cases, pad papers, and MUNwalk sneakers for learners from kindergarten to senior high school.

    Biazon personally visited several schools, including Alabang Elementary School, Bayanan Elementary School Unit 1, and Muntinlupa Elementary School, to hand out the supplies.

    “Maayos at smooth ang naging distribution natin ng libreng balik eskwela packages sa Alabang Elementary School. Tuwang-tuwa ang students at parents dahil sa excitement. Basta enrolled sa public schools sa Muntinlupa, mabibigyan (Our distribution of free back-to-school packages at Alabang Elementary School went smoothly. Students and parents were very happy because of the excitement. As long as they are enrolled in public schools in Muntinlupa, they will be given),” he assured.

    It is estimated that about 100,000 public school students, including those in early childhood education, will each receive the package.

    Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, do you approve of the City Government’s distribution of school supplies to local public school students?

  16. #Texas can require the #TenCommandments to be displayed in #PublicSchool #classrooms, a #US appeals court ruled Tuesday in a victory for #conservatives who have long sought to incorporate more #religion into schools.
    It sets up a potential clash at #SCOTUS over the issue in the future.
    The ultra conservative #5thCircuit Court of Appeals claimed in the decision that the #law did not violate either the #EstablishmentClause or the #FreeExerciseClause of the #FirstAmendment.

  18. While #Utah requires that #PublicSchool students have 2 doses of the measles, mumps & rubella #vaccine [#MMR], parents can opt out of those requirements for personal, religious or medical reasons. In the 2024-25 school year, about 11% of kindergartners had exemptions or were missing documentation to show they were vaccinated against #measles, up from about 7% before the Covid-19 pandemic. Vaccination rates need to be above about 95% to stem the spread of the #virus.

  20. "Ownership of Time Is Learned Early"

    With the advent of neoliberalism in the 1980s, the mission of public education has become more about preparing for life in the workforce rather than preparing for life fulfilled by freedom and happiness. The state shapes working class consciousness rather than the other way around. It's time to change that.
