I've been thinking about this recently and have also wondered if some/all states require exempts to be able to not say + stand for the pledge.

Hi, I work for an education startup connected to PTAs (parent teacher associations). We are looking to learn more about how the organizations work.

Is anyone here is a current or former leader of a PTA and willing to answer questions?

We will compensate for your time.

Please DM if interested.

Every master’s program in education leadership gears towards becoming a principal or some form of school administrator , but I’m worried about what might happen if I end up not securing these jobs after graduation.

Educational Technology seems to provide more job opportunities but I’ve read so many bad reviews.

As AI continues to advance at an unprecedented rate, it's becoming increasingly capable of mastering skills that were once thought to be uniquely human. From creative tasks like composing music and writing to technical skills like coding and data analysis, AI is demonstrating proficiency that rivals or even surpasses that of humans.

This raises a fundamental question: Will traditional education, particularly in the sense of mastering specific skills, need to change in response to AI's capabilities?

I am currently a 17 year old high school dropout that is planning to get a GED so that I can pursue a degree that will help me to live abroad in France with my girlfriend (I live in Texas, United States).

Ideally, I would prefer to have a job that is "work from home" (remote work) on, say, a computer, while I live in France. This is because it's virtually impossible to find a job in France that does not require you to speak French, of which I do not speak.

For this reason, I need a job from the U.S, which will require remote working abroad, and I also wanted to study in France while taking purely English courses at Purdue Global University online.

I am pretty open about my options for what degree I need or career that could make my plans work. I saw that they offer an online bachelor's degree in communications and given that most communication is online, I thought maybe that could give me the remote working career that I need with the flexibility to live wherever I want (Like France).

Given that I'm 17, and also how confusing the real world is, I would really like to have some Intel on what my options are. My preferences are:

• I would like to study at an online university that only requires English proficiency while living in France.

• I would like to have a work from home (remote work) career that can allow me to live in France.

• I would like to have something relatively practical and affordable.

Thank you all so much in advance.

Hey guys, I'm a 19-year-old who dropped out of high school a while ago due to mental health issues and various other problems. I also disliked the school I was attending and had planned to go abroad for my studies. My dream was to prepare for a GED and study in America or another Western country, but that turned out to be unrealistic given my circumstances.

Currently, I'm learning some valuable skills that are in demand in the job market and could potentially generate income in the future. Building these skills might also open opportunities for me to move to a Western country to study. However, right now, obtaining a school diploma is crucial for job security, especially as a fallback if my primary plans don't succeed.

I'm struggling with motivation and feeling somewhat demotivated about returning to school, which is unsettling. Could you share some motivational stories about individuals who dropped out of high school but later returned and achieved success? Whether they are historical figures or ordinary people, hearing such stories would provide me with reassurance and inspiration.

Can a large, urban public school district dramatically raise student achievement and close America's class divide? The controversial reforms underway in Houston ISD rival the biggest American education experiments — and could impact schools across the country.

Here's more on this from our newsletter editor Paula Solis:

Houston ISD underwent unprecedented changes this past year, thrusting 180,000 students into a whirlwind of reforms. Superintendent Mike Miles' overhaul sparked both praise and protest, aiming to bridge long-standing achievement gaps. But is it working? Asher Lehrer-Small and Danya Pérez report that, as the dust settles, HISD's ambitious reforms are being closely scrutinized for their impact and potential to serve as a national blueprint for educational transformation.

Rapid transformation: Under Miles' leadership, Houston schools saw dramatic shifts: teacher evaluations tied closer to student outcomes, substantial pay raises for educators, and a crackdown on non-essential spending. Despite minimal national spotlight, Harvard Graduate School of Education economist Thomas Kane said HISD's overhaul could interest many district leaders.

Mixed reviews: While some applaud early successes, like improved test scores in restructured schools, others voice concerns over high teacher turnover and financial sustainability. Critics argue the reforms are unproven and overly disruptive, while supporters see them as a bold step towards closing educational disparities.

Future prospects: Some of HISD's elected trustees will likely return to the school board in the next few years. The Landing spoke with three elected trustees who responded to interview requests. While most said they would reverse unpopular parts of Miles' plan, Plácido Gómez said early data has convinced him of its potential.

"If I had to make a decision right now of whether to continue (the overhaul model), I would," Gómez said.

Do all US universities provide unconditional offer letters based on predicted grades? If so, then is it necessary to submit final grades later? What happens if there's a significant gap between the predicted and final grades? Additionally, can I apply to US universities now using my predicted grades?

NY Targets Social Media with Laws for Kids' Mental Health (article link)

• Aims to make feeds less "addictive" & restrict notifications.

Question for Educators: Have you seen a rise in social media's negative impact on students' mental health? What (if anything) do you think schools can do to help?

Hello, I'm 20M and am interested in a career as a politician in Ireland. Looking at the courses offered by Trinity College Dublin, is it better that I go with those involving "Social Policy" or "Law"?

I need help in deciding my major I got CS and Computer engineering and its not mentioned in the year but its a 2+2 programme, is it a dual degree, assuming it is, is it useful ?

It’s no secret that they want education to be privatized or non existent, but realistically what would happen to education in the next 5 years due to this ruling? Will our youth see any change in this? Or is this something that will take longer to start seeing the effects of the recent ruling?

Based on your experience, do you believe there's a good number of companies in Europe that'd be willing to develop industry/work-related English skills for their employees as they're branching out instead of hiring new multilingual candidates?

Mainly as part of the perk/development system that is being implemented in bigger companies.

Thank you.

Hi everyone. Does anyone know of a platform/website through which I can automate emailing weekly questions (MCQ style) to my trainees? Once they answer, they would get the answer sent to them and it would track how many questions each trainee is answering and how many they are getting correct. I am hoping I can just upload several questions at once and they'll get sent at a regular frequency automatically. Thanks!

I'm a high schooler and I took a semester off half way during my junior year due to my mental health being bad, motivation problems and failing in classes. I am now returning to high school to redo my junior year and I'm stressed out.

I am an architect, now retired, and have been teaching introductory classes to students between the ages of 8 and 16 years for over 20 years. What began with me going into my daughter's third grade classroom and talking about what architects do, grew into a program that is now mostly online. My students live in several different countries around the world because design and architecture have no barriers.

My question is, how do I get the word out to teachers about what I do and what I offer? The classes are individual, group and I have co-taught with high school teachers who have classes in history and math and worked with students on their final projects.

I just don't know how to reach teachers and let them know of an additional resource for their students.

Any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

As a regular secondary school graduate from Uzbekistan, how can I increase my nonexistent chances to studying at a university abroad for bachelor's degree? (the UK, US, etc.)

With what I've already understood, the school diploma received after graduation in Uzbekistan is not valid for most EU universities. WHAT CAN I DO?

Not mentioning the IELTS, SAT, etc. , which all seem to be of no use

I've been a teacher for 8 years and across 4 countries. In December 2023 I resigned from my profession for good. I have made a video series that highlights the challenges new teachers in the UK would likely face. I feel this would be useful for anyone considering teaching in England:

So, I'm a 22-year-old male from Afghanistan. I double majored in computer science and medicine. I received my computer science diploma in 2022, and I'm 1.5 years away from becoming a doctor.

I've been considering applying to a master's program, but I don't have anyone to guide me through the process. As you may know, there are few people with higher education in my country, so I haven't been able to get good advice from anyone, especially since there are few people who double major in two different fields.

I wanted to pursue a master's degree in artificial intelligence (AI), but I'm worried that if I do that, I'll be neglecting my medical studies and all the effort I've put into them will be for nothing. So, I'm wondering if there are any master's programs that combine these two fields. Also, if I obtain a master's degree, will I be able to find good work in the United States, Canada, or anywhere else, since we're planning to move to Canada?

If you're someone like me with two degrees, or if you have experience or are a professor in this field, please help guide me through this process.

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Any suggestions for online part time jobs for a teacher? Doesn’t have to be exclusively during the summer.

So my maths qualifications are as follows: O Levels (GCE) Maths, A Level Maths, SAT 1 maths ; I majored in Computer Science at uni which also had its fair share of maths courses. Would love it if I could get some advice about how to proceed if I wanna start teaching maths to say, high school/GCE/A Level students. I wouldn't mind doing it for free initially. I wanna know how to calibrate this so if anyone's interested, lmk? Thanks in advance

Looking for suggestions

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew what website I need to turn to, to sign up for an extra A-level my school doesn't provide.
