How the Federal Government Shutdown Is Affecting Schools: A Tracker Education Week is monitoring how the federal government's shutdown is affecting schools and other education functions.

ICYMI: @edweek.org is keeping track of how the federal government shutdown is affecting schools #EduSky

In a time where Republicans have made attacking trans people central to their political platform and many Democrats have agreed to throw them under the bus for political expediency, it is inspiring to see a politician not only proudly fighting to protect trans people but also honoring trans leaders.

Just in from USA Today- Trump and Republicans laid off Friday critical mass of those who work on special education funding for schools. Per the source: "He was unsure how those programs will exist moving forward." #EduSky #Inclusion #AcademicSky ♾️ #Disability

When a parent is concerned about a student's grade or test, I share the specific concept(s) the student demonstrated a partial understanding of, and I provide suggestions on how to move forward.

For my former student teachers and colleagues, I often served as a second set of eyes for reading emails and for reading responses to emails. This ensures that teachers don't respond hastily and rashly. This also gives a second opinion on interpreting the tone of emails.

My undergraduates (middle school math methods) would like advice and insights for teachers' interactions with parents. Teachers or teacher educators, what advice or ideas would you give to these future teachers?

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.

Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.

Legacy media failed the country.

I would like Never Trump Republicans to demand that George W. Bush appear and speak up for democracy in this country. Why do ppl always ask Obama to do things and “where is Kamala”? Where is the 43rd President of the United States while democracy crashes & burns. This is the party he led. 1/

GOP: We are putting forward a proposal to ban the use of all pronouns.

Dems: Um…we all use pronouns.

GOP: Oh. Withdrawn.

For anyone who has thought about delving into research about math teaching, curriculum, or student thinking, Sep/Oct is the best time to consider PhD programs so you can start in August 2026.

Many official communications channels of the US government are controlled by people who celebrate the Nazi party and the response of our elite news and political institutions has been to look the other way and not say anything about it.

National guard troops lounging outside a Krispy Kreme

Dearest Martha,

The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.

Yours in glaze,
