The Reddit Education Network

A bit of context, CPS has recently come to the house (dont wanna say why) and when CPS found out that i wasn't on a curriculum or in school because of my mom, CPS told me that i should go to school to get a better education. I really don't know how to apply for school or anything of that matter because every place ive looked alway requires me to have some proof of going to a middle school and past test results, which i dont have. So how do i proceed with this?

I've been chronically ill since I was 10 years old and haven't been to school since year 5, I've had a few tutors here and there and participated in online classes but they're all so flaky. But now I'm getting older I need to seriously knuckle down otherwise I'll end up in a mess, does anyone have any resources that I might be able to use? I'm willing to spend money on subscriptions to resources because I really need it

I wanted to be MRI technologist for about a year now but now that the time to sign up for community college is right around the corner i’m second guessing.

I feel like my anxiety will be through the roof because i’ll be working with a big chunk of safety hazard i don’t want to cause any harm to people.

Is there any other healthcare job that pays over 75K a year with no more than 4 years of schooling time? i’ve been considering dental hygienist, ultrasound tech, sonography. but it seems like i’m gravitating towards MRI still.

I’ll be getting my radiography A.S degree so i know if MRI doesn’t work out i can lean back on my degree and probably be a X-RAY tech perhaps i don’t know. thanks !

In particular, are you now more likely to attribute bad behavior to a biological issue that might be amenable to prescription medication?

Your kids school lunch is subsidized by the Feds.That money will be gone soon.So I think catering is the best way forward-so does Linda-but free WWE.

I want to learn about machine learning and mathematics behind it but none of the courses available online suit my needs. Is there an app you recommend that could gather resources from the web and pack that into a neat course suiting my needs ?

Just out of curiosity, do products like that exist for high school or college ?

There are tons of 1h+ lectures on YouTube that provide so much useful knowledge, but most people will not make it past the 10 minutes mark...
The same applies for podcasts.

This is why I made this app - notclass; to help students find the specific moments they need from some of the best lectures online.

As a student, I found it to be a big time-saver whenever I have a specific physics question I need answering.

What score basically puts someone at the helm and guarantee a valedictorian podium? my scores haven't been 100% consistent but its something am looking forward to, dreaming about. How possible is this?

Do short courses really help with career growth in Canada, or do employers prefer candidates with degrees and certifications? Would love some insights.

I’m confused! Is the raw score similar or the same as what you’ll get on your calculated score? Or do you need to do the raw/200 make that answer into a percentage then add 100. This is for the middle school math. Every where I’ve read says something different or that just praxis is super inconsistent and does what they want. Please help!

I’m struggling with the amount of time it takes me to create and modify lessons for my remote students.

I use sites like Nearpod, TPT, Epic Books, and Canva. These sites are so helpful, but by the time I actually choose, and modify a lesson, hours have gone by!

I feel like lesson planning has become such a distraction for me.

I absolutely hate it too when I spent hours on creating something only till later, give up on it due to it being too overwhelming to create and perfect such as escape rooms.

I want my lessons to be personalized and adapted to my students needs and interest, but how much time is too much time to spend?

Hi everyone,

For those familiar with California public education code, is it legal for a school to deny a student entry into the school? Is there any legal justification besides the student being possibly a danger to other students?

Context: student lives in the district, and is registered for classes at the school. The student is not a danger to other students. Yet, the principal does not want this particular student on campus and has denied them entry multiple times.

If this is legal, how is it legal?

Thanks!

Edit: apparently y’all need more details so here you go.

First, yes, I am an admin at a HS but I’m NOT the principal nor vice principal. I am support admin that directors a few different departments and programs.

Hello reddit, I recently found out about SAT exam and i have taken pcb as my subject for 11th. My relative suggested this option and I preffer it. I know that i can crack SAT with my 10th's maths knowledge and i can grind 11th maths for SAT, but i heard Maths in 11th and 12th is compulsory for undergrad. Is it necessary? I still have my 12th left so i can opt maths in 12th but will it work? Like i dropped maths for 11th. I can study everything by myself so it won't be an issue and i am good in maths. Will it work if i just dont take maths or do i need to repeat my 11th? Or can i just take calculus classes as im in undergrad?

High honor roll was just posted. More than 50% of each grade made it. Criteria 95% average no grade under 80.

add in regular honor roll 90% average nothing under 80 and almost 70% of the seniors are on the honor roll.

is the grading too lenient the teachers that great, the kids that smart? What. My daughter has always been high honor roll. She isn’t even top 10% of her class.

Has anyone passes this yet?

Im concerned about education. The book bans and general interest in restricting content at a federal level is really concerning. Students need to learn critical thinking and have access to information on a variety of topics.

This got me thinking: if the schools can’t teach certain topics, then we need to provide that education elsewhere. We need programs or clubs that students can voluntarily join to learn about a variety of inclusive topics. In addition, they need to learn how to see how policies impact their communities and how they can help to problem solve.

Does anyone know of any clubs or programs like this? I’d like to get involved and don’t want to reinvent the wheel if it already exists. If this doesn’t exist, is there truly a need or interest?

I started going to this college because it was the closest one by a long shot, however, partway through my first semester I find that they only off a computer information systems degree, not a computer science one. I was interested in computer science, but Id rather not go through the financial struggle of going to a farther uni. Will I at least be able to get a good job with a CIS degree, and maybe go back to uni later?

AI companions are beginning to play a larger role in education at home, particularly as tutors who help students with homework and skill-building. AI companions can answer questions, offer explanations, and break down complex concepts, giving students access to a support system beyond the classroom.

By adapting to a student’s unique learning style and pace, AI companions make studying more personalized and effective. They can reinforce learning, provide practice exercises, and even make learning fun by offering interactive elements. For students who struggle in traditional learning settings, AI tutors provide a more accessible, self-paced alternative.

However, over-reliance on AI companions for academic help has its drawbacks. Teachers and parents still play crucial roles in a student’s development, providing guidance and critical thinking that AI cannot fully replicate. A balance of AI support and human mentorship can ensure students gain a well-rounded education.

Edit: Thank you guys! I emailed my local community college about enrollment for ABE next quarter :)

Okay so tldr I stopped going to school consistently in middle school and ended up dropping out in high school.

I want to get my GED and get into college, but I'm not sure how to go about learning everything i've missed over the years. Does anyone know where I should start? Or have any tips/advice/suggestions?

I am an 18 year old senior in high school. I go to school in Georgia in the US, and I hate it. I've never really been a big school person, the only things that have kept me interested are clubs, and because I thought it was the only way to do things. My brother got his GED recently, and showed me that it isnt true. High school is just a pathway to get to certain places, like college. And it's not even the only way! I don't know if i want to go to college. I understand it's different from high school, and that'd be great! But I'd like to major in English, and I don't see much of a pathway to a career with that. Even if there was one, I don't know if I'd find college worth it. My alternative is going into a trade. I'm okay with that, and the money is a lot better. I can do it a lot sooner than college, and it's cheaper too. It's hard to find a reason to do college, and I think I've already settled on trade school.

I need to convince my parents though. For those who have their GED, or those who thought about it, why or why not was it worth it?

Kansas City Public Schools enrollment has increased for the third year in a row. The enrollment growth has been especially strong in the Northeast and among students who are learning English. With growth comes changes in whom the district serves.

Its like am finding it very hard to ace my academic work while other people don't struggle in their assignments, how can i have ease to ace my work this seamlessly? need advise on the same

We would definitely take study groups very serious in high school because it would mean project tests or something vital but compared to colleges, its become socializing meetings for laughs and rarely do students have serious academic discussions going on. What's the issues here? seen it in your respective colleges?

I’m looking to improve my grades and study habits before tackling major exams. Can anyone recommend good preparatory courses available in Canada that focus on academic success and test preparation?

Why is Nursing not universally recognized as a STEM?

With some of the worst performances in math and English, the education system is really failing us here. I feel like the education system takes a kid for 18 years in America and teaches them next to nothing when compared to schools in other parts of the world. Then in college, a degree that needs to be paid for, what is studied for a bachelors is almost on par with high school in many other countries.

For example, AP chemistry and college level chemistry are learned commonly in either middle schools or high schools in Europe as well as most middle schools in China. The same goes for physics, and biology. I think this “ well-rounded” education in America may mostly be referring to physical roundedness as we also have one of the highest obesity rates in adolescence in the country. To fix this, the curriculum and teaching mentality needs to change.

Kids can learn a lot and they are often excited to learn. We need to teach them. I think what is currently “ bachelors level” should really just be standard in high school. Middle school needs to actually not waste kids time either. The” AP” in high school should change from a class or two that count for at max a supposed year of college to actually a full bachelors degree. People should be able to go straight to graduate school after high school

Pretend there are two schools:

A public school in Brockton

And a public school in Lexington

They are dichotomies in the ranking system

Pretend there are two students

And both are 13 and in the 8th grade and taking a regular science class (not honors or anything, just regular)

Another pair are 16 in the 11th grade, both taking AP Calculus BC.

Both received an A grade

Is the student at a lower income school any worse compared to the student at the higher income school if they have the same grades and take the same level courses?
