  9. KXAN: Thousands of Texas educators flagged for misconduct, criminal history. “A new tool from the Texas Education Agency, or TEA, shows thousands of incidents of alleged misconduct by Texas educators were reported since 2025….

  10. Sometimes it is really hard to convince a third party that they have a problem. #Quizlet 's #DNS records are a complete mess and they are demanding that the affected end-users contact them directly (presumably so that they can waste the users' time by making them do pointless "turn it off and on again" and "clear cookies" activities, which are NOT GOING TO FIX QUIZLET'S BROKEN DNS CONFIG!

  11. Associated Press: America’s tech-filled classrooms are facing a backlash against school-assigned devices. “After pouring billions of dollars into laptops, tablets and learning apps, many schools are facing a digital reckoning. Classrooms have become saturated with screens, and a growing number of parents, teachers and school districts are saying it is time to scale back.”

  16. "As parents, educators, and lawmakers across the United States make the case that school shouldn’t be a place where kids zone out on devices, interact with risky algorithms, or unwittingly hand over data to profit-driven third parties, we have the opportunity to ask ourselves: How should we think about school? To begin answering this question, Jacobin consulted stakeholders in Los Angeles, the nation’s second-largest district.

    A key theme that emerged from these discussions is the importance of thinking about school in the present. Technology’s allure is always future oriented: Personal computing was going to supercharge productivity; social media and smartphones would strengthen interpersonal connections; and now AI will streamline the world of work. And for three-quarters of a century, education technology vendors have promised to optimize student learning and eliminate the busywork of teaching. But as Charles Logan, T. Philip Nichols, and Antero Garcia recently argued in Kappan, “the future they’re selling has not arrived — and perhaps it never will. But de-skilling, surveillance, and extraction — all of that is happening now, in our classrooms, today.”

    “It just doesn’t make sense to train six-year-olds on technology that may be obsolete in a few years,” Kate Brody told Jacobin. Nor does it make sense to train them “on consumer-facing technologies that are designed to be used intuitively” — as opposed to, say, reading, which is anything but intuitive."
