How SuperDville’s Social and Emotional Curriculum Accommodates The Needs Of Children With Learning Disabilities

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:26:27 GMT

The American education system has become infamous for below-average testing scores, teacher shortages, and other systemic issues that are taking a toll on educators and children alike. Performance in reading and math has been stagnant since the 2000s. Two-thirds of children aren’t meeting national reading standards either. The pandemic has also exacerbated many issues, leaving many children disengaged and unmotivated.Children with learning disabilities may have suffered the most from these compounding issues. One in five children nationwide deal with learning differences that negatively impact their education. Overall, America has 4 million children with diagnosed learning disabilities. The total number is much higher, but educators and schools may be unqualified or unable to diagnose children. This is because of miseducation about what learning disabilities are or how much additional funding they may require.However, American schools are federally required to design an Individualiz...

Mailbag: Stanford and Cal caught in ACC breakup(?), Big Ten revenue shares, the Pac-2 lawsuit, media decisions and more

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:26:27 GMT

The Hotline mailbag publishes each Friday. Send questions to [email protected] and include ‘mailbag’ in the subject line. Or hit me on Twitter: @WilnerHotline.Please note: Some questions have been edited for clarity and brevity.With news of schools in the ACC possibly leaving soon, is there a chance the conference will be no more? Or will enough schools stick around? Also would Stanford and Cal look to work back to the Pac-12? — @ag10899So much to unpack with this topic, but let’s start with the core issue: The use of the word “news.”The Hotline is aware of the noise on social media. But we have yet to read or hear anything that resembles hard news about the imminent breakup of the ACC.It will happen, eventually. But the timeframe is more likely years than months or weeks.Next, we need to define what constitutes a breakup: Is that two or three schools leaving, or the majority? And where would they land?That was Florida State’s central pr...

Editorial: Feinstein succeeded by eschewing political partisanship

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:26:27 GMT

In the current era of hyperpartisan state and national politics, elected leaders in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., should pause to reflect on Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s willingness to pragmatically reach across the aisle.The oldest member of the U.S. Senate, California’s first woman elected to the upper house of Congress, and the longest-tenured female senator in American history, Feinstein died Thursday night at her home in the nation’s capital. She was 90.For too many with only short-term memories, she will be remembered for her refusal to resign her Senate seat as her health failed and her mental acuity declined. But that narrow focus on the final few years of her life misses the importance of her political career that spanned more than half a century.Feinstein was not a political ideologue. She was a trailblazer and great leader respectful of the state’s diverse electorate and loathe to get too far ahead of it. It’s a legacy that Gov. Gavin Newsom should respect as he appoints he...
