ATTN: Video
In Britain, they also have a well-established apprenticeship system that enables many young people to enter the workforce with a very well-paying trade. If they decide to go to college or university after that, they can do it while they work and support themselves, their families, and the economy. In America, we don't have such a system, we eliminated most vocational education years ago, and it's seen as shameful by many to not immediately enter a four-year college or university upon graduating high school. We need to change this.

Trump and advisers hedge on major pledges, including Obamacare and the wall
Some people will say it was all campaign rhetoric. But those were the promises upon which he built his path to the Presidency. Who wants to break the news to the more extreme end of his voter base that he was "jk, jk"? Not ME, I assure you. This is a country you're playing with. And it is one that the rest of the free world looks to as an example of what freedom can look like. We have already become the laughing stock of the entire planet.

What I Really Want to Ask at All Those Parent-Teacher Conferences
Very soon, I will once again sit on both sides of that table, at different times in the same week. I've been happy, for the most part, with how these go when I'm in the parent chair. I get the sense that my son's teachers like him as a person and that he is respectful to them and enjoys the time they spend together, regardless of his grades. I hope the parents who come see me as their child's teacher or advisor get the sense that I really enjoy their kids and see great things in each one of them. It can feel like a stressful part of the job (both as educator and parent), but it is also one of the most enjoyable (when it goes well).

Memorizers are the lowest achievers and other Common Core math surprises - The Hechinger Report
"Part of the problem in the U.S. is the desperation of many parents to advance their children in math, pushing them to higher levels of math faster and sooner, somehow believing that a resume packed with advanced math courses will guarantee their future. Bill Jacob, a mathematics professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, speaks openly about the dangers of students being pushed to higher levels of mathematics too soon. “I know it is hard to persuade parents that their students shouldn’t race to get calculus, but I really wish they wouldn’t. Too much content and depth is left out when they do.” said Jacob, who is not alone in saying that he would rather have students in his university mathematics courses that have breadth in their mathematical experiences than any additional Advanced Placement courses."

An Open Letter to My Dad, who Makes Me Want to Quit Sports - Changing the Game Project
I have NOT experienced this sitting in the stands at Harker's football, basketball, volleyball, or soccer games. At least not from OUR parents. But there's probably some I'm not seeing. I've seen and heard opposing team's players and parents behave in these kinds of ways, towards OUR kids, and it breaks my heart and enrages me all at the same time. We can do better, parents.

The lasting impact of white teachers who mispronounce minority student names
“Whether you intend to or not, what you’re communicating is this: Your name is different. Foreign. Weird. It’s not worth my time to get it right.” I always try to take a little extra time to make sure I'm pronouncing students' names correctly, even when they insist "it's okay" and want to move on. I ask what they want to be called, and I have them help me practice saying it. It's also really helpful to write on sub plans, next to the names in your roster, phonetic pronunciations of the names. Kids really appreciate when the sub can pronounce their names without even having to ask.

Mom Was Told Her C-Section Would Be The 'Easy Way Out'
Oh my gosh, yes. The part she shares about the pain of getting out of bed. Cameron was three and a half weeks early, and after laboring overnight for 11 or so hours, we realized he was in distress and was trying to come out butt first. After a week, my incision wasn't healing properly, so then I had a week of having it packed daily with iodine-soaked gauze which had to be removed daily. When that didn't seem to completely help, after another week they completely re-opened by incision and had to completely re-stitch it. The healing was a LONG process. My scar is still purple and four-plus inches long (twelve and a half years later). The upside? My first tattoo (in 1997) hurt like hell. Cameron was born in 2004. All my subsequent tattoos haven't seemed to hurt as much. Because there is no pain on earth like the pain of getting out of bed the first time after a c-section.

There’s No Such Thing As A Protest Vote
"Throwing away your vote on a message no one will hear, and which will change no outcome, is sometimes presented as ‘voting your conscience’, but that’s got it exactly backwards; your conscience is what keeps you from doing things that feel good to you but hurt other people. Citizens who vote for third-party candidates, write-in candidates, or nobody aren’t voting their conscience, they are voting their ego, unable to accept that a system they find personally disheartening actually applies to them."

The Families That Can’t Afford Summer
I'm not in favor of abolishing summer break because of all the professional development I know teachers do, and because it literally takes us all summer to prep for the new school year. However, I do believe we need funding for programs for kids to have fun, read, and be social during the summer. Gone are the days of my youth when my parents could just leave us home to fend for ourselves.

Also, for those who are NOT mentally ill but who have committed crimes, if we can move toward more of a restorative justice system and help people overcome some of what led to their life of crime, we could decrease recidivism.

This parent is talking about a different SAT, one that British children take in what we would call 6th grade.

They cause a stress that's not worth it and reduce a human being to a number. We're opting out.

‘Bathroom bills’ focus on the trans community but could affect another group more
I can relate to this. I can't speak to how common this may or may not be for males who present as non-gender or in a more "feminine" manner, but as a heterosexual, cis-gender female who chooses to never wear skirts, dresses, heels, makeup, or the color pink, I have experienced people calling me sir or mistaking me for male. I used to be told that if I wanted to be treated as female I should act more female. So I guess dating/marrying only men, having periods and boobs, and giving birth aren't enough to qualify me? I stand with ALL people who are told by other people how they should view or express their gender.

Just Not Sports
As I have seen more female sportscasters on TV in recent years, I have wondered about the crap they must have to deal with. This is really important for EVERYONE to watch. And this kind of thing happens, and has been happening, in one form or another for as long as humans have existed. Women are routinely harassed, abused, controlled, threatened, and attacked simply for being female and doing a job. Or having an opinion. Or wanting to look nice. Or NOT wanting to dress a certain way. Or any number of regular, everyday things that men seem to think they get to control. Enough, already. (And I know most men aren't like this, as evidenced by the men in this video who had such a hard time reading these comments.)

Stop Using Your Children As An Excuse To Be A Hateful Human Being
"If you’re truly worried about child sex abuse, then as a responsible parent, it’d behoove you to know that in three-quarters of sex abuse cases, children are harmed not by pooping strangers, but by members of their own family or someone they know. Furthermore, while girls carry a one in four chance of being sexually abused before age 18, the risk for boys is one in six. If bathroom predators are truly an issue, why on earth would I be worried about my daughter but not my son?"

If you're in good enough shape to have $20 in cash in your hand these days, why don't you just smile for her? 4. Stop telling women to smile. We don't have to, just to make you feel better about your white male privilege.
