People just want schools that work. They do not care about summits, engagement sessions, and keynote speakers. This is the result of a communications department that has too much time on their hands.
Here we go!
Amazing. You won't see this on the news, but multiple fights broke out at the game and the police were called to clear the stadium. EMS was also dispatched.
For the kids who fought: take them home in a cop car. If they have previous juvenile petitions on file, send them downtown. The parents can pick them up.

The was a fascinating story. Find the podcast episode on Stuff You Should Know. It was good. @SYSKPodcast
On the afternoon of July 15, 1976, a school bus carrying twenty-six children home from summer school near Chowchilla, in California's Central Valley, was blocked by a van on a country road. Three masked men with guns boarded it, took the driver, Ed Ray, and the children, aged five to fourteen, and hid the empty bus in a dry slough.
The captives were driven for hours in two vans with blacked-out windows, then made to climb down into a moving van buried in a quarry at Livermore. The hatch above them was covered and weighted with heavy industrial batteries. Inside were mattresses, a little food and water, and fans for air.
The kidnappers intended to demand five million dollars but could not get through to the police switchboard, which was jammed with calls, and fell asleep instead.
After roughly sixteen hours underground, Ray and some of the older boys stacked mattresses, forced the hatch open and dug their way out. Everyone survived.
The three men, Frederick Woods and the brothers James and Richard Schoenfeld, came from well-off families and were caught within two weeks. Richard was paroled in 2012, James in 2015, and Woods in 2022.

Thankfully our police department didn’t do this to my son when the neighbor called the police on him. They just told him to keep riding and use the shoulder of the street. I am debating the release of the neighbor’s non-emergency 911 call.
I just don’t want it to identify myself.
An 11-year-old works all summer, saves $900, buys himself an electric dirt bike and rides about 300 feet from home to go fishing.
Police stop him, fingerprint him, tow his bike and send him to court — with an officer telling him that failing to appear could result in a warrant.
When the machinery of the state comes down on a sixth-grader like he’s a hardened criminal, maybe we should stop and ask what kind of society we're building.
A child went fishing.
The government responded with fingerprinting the kid and giving him a court date.
That’s how a police state begins.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Florida law (§316.003(23)) defines an e-bike as having operable pedals and a motor under 750W. This is a 4,500W electric motorcycle with no pedals. On public roads, it requires motorcycle registration and a properly licensed rider.

This seems better than last year’s protests where students were protesting and screaming “F*** Ice”.
However, I do not think students should be disrupting school and missing learning opportunities to protest.
Girls’ High students protested overcrowding, including multiple classes with 50-plus students ebx.sh/0BPiEi
There was a teacher asking about accommodations for her ADHD in the district (on the local teacher’s group).
@allie__voss has a similar point and is onto something.
I wonder how much IEPs contribute to the mentality of needing constant exceptions in the workplace
School is everyone's introduction into the workplace, in a sense.
If you've always been able to have special treatment, of COURSE that would be a difficult, confusing adjustment.
To be clear, I'm not anti-IEP, some kids 100% need that sort of thing.
But, for example, I came across a kid ranting about how he had an IEP that got him out of pep rallies, they were "too stimulating." Then he was upset that the school didn't provide "alternative, low stimulation entertainment"
There are schools where the MAJORITY of kids have an IEP. It's totally unsustainable; you're asking teachers to cater to every student like they're a private tutor
...and we have to admit, some of them are a bit of a stretch

As the Mecklenburg County DA asks the SBI to investigate Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, the explosive CMS files released by Superintendent Dr. Crystal Hill raise many questions for Chair Stephanie Sneed.
Why was Raki McGregor getting multiple jobs?
Why was he brought back in after Superintendent Dr. Crystal Hill did not renew his contract?
Did the School Board know about any of this?
Were district policies purposely not followed to hide his involvement?
My breakdown from tonight:
I am not asking the courts to ID juveniles but there needs to be a public journal of arrests or incidents. I am trying to figure out the validity of a rumor today but there is no way to do that. I doubt anyone will release any information in the school system.
Spot on.
I don’t know about y’all, but when I was a student, I always enjoyed having people I didn’t know coming to my classroom to watch me learn.
I didn’t know who they were, but my teacher said something about curriculum advisors, service center support, and instructional coaches. Remember those days?
Yeah, me neither.
After the CMS board voted to fire their 5th superintendent (Crystal Hill) in the past 10 years, I think a local bill is needed to fix the dysfunctional system.
My proposal has always been to have the school board offer the initial contract then the voters approve the extension. I know that could get ugly, but it’d ensure the board takes the hiring decisions seriously.
I’m unsure what to think about firing decisions. Perhaps, there is a due process element that brings it to the state board. Or, voters can petition for a nullification of the contract.
We’ve got to rethink how the system works.
