When faced with the same threats - to lose millions in federal funding unless they betray their transgender students and teachers - these communities have refused to back down. First it was Virginia, then Denver and Chicago. Now, New York City Public Schools, the largest public school system in the country, has joined them, declaring it will not comply with the Trump administration's demands.

Children of multilingual immigrants frequently serve as "little interpreters" for their families and communities. They assist with translation during doctors' appointments, help make sense of utility bills, and translate school records, among other responsibilities. This process, known as language brokering, is necessary because families need assistance navigating systems in a second language and an unfamiliar culture. While this role develops students' cultural competency and communication skills, it also places them

In July 2023, San Jose State University was granted $89 million in the state budget through the Higher Education Student Housing Grant Program, which provides grant funding to California colleges and universities to construct affordable student housing.

"Schoolkids are creating a Google Doc with their friends that they all have real-time access to, and they just type into it during class," one teacher explained in a recent TikTok video. The clip had since racked up over 4.4 million views. "They basically reinvented the AOL chat room." Other teachers have shared similar stories. "It's like we are back in the nineties," one said. "That's what we did."

For one, the younger brain learns language more quickly than the teen brain does. The concepts and material high schoolers face in class are more complex and difficult than the ideas taught in elementary school. And teens study more subjects at a faster pace than do younger kids. Many young people long to be bilingual. They know it's necessary for school and work, and aim to earn a seal of biliteracy, recognizing that they've mastered two languages.

The office, which uses about $15 million annually in funding, ensures that the 7.5 million school-aged children with disabilities are treated fairly under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Following public outcry, the U.S. Department of Education has restored funding for students who have both hearing and vision loss, about a month after cutting it. But rather than sending the money directly to the four programs that are part of a national network helping students who are deaf and blind, a condition known as deafblindness, the department has instead rerouted the grants to a different organization that will provide funding for those vulnerable students.

I've been teaching for 20 years and I've dealt with all sorts of slang - nothing has driven me crazier than this one,

Understanding prevalent stereotypes - whether they are positive or negative, believed or not - could help schools and parents counter them to support students' development, said Adam Hoffman , assistant professor in the Department of Psychology and College of Human Ecology. "Research has shown that stereotypes, even positive ones, are detrimental and can impact teens' academic motivation and achievement, mental health and well-being," Hoffman said.

"We've already lived through the painful impact of past closures, consolidations and modernizations, disruptions that left deep scars on our families, students and staff," she said. "Please, do not reassign our students again. Do not implement these boundary changes."

Ahead of the 2025-2026 season, the Catholic High School Athletic Association has changed its cheerleading competition format to realign with state and Universal Cheerleaders Association guidelines, the Advance/SILive.com has learned.

Research across diverse domains-from economic decision-making to social stereotyping-has shown that human beings are " cognitive misers." In other words, our default mode for processing information favors bite-sized chunks. Leaving aside individual variability and motivational overrides, we prefer shortcuts and snap judgments over long, winding paths and deliberative thinking. However, the kind of research that has illuminated these very tendencies is itself the result of both zigzagging trails (including unavoidable dead ends, bushwacks, and backtracks) and systematic analysis.

Kat Lloyd stands in the dim light on the first-floor staircase of a dilapidated, New York City tenement building. Before her: a tour of wide-eyed teens on a field trip from their high school in Queens. Their guide, Lloyd, encourages the students to imagine the building's 22 apartments when they were new, back in 1863, and brimming with mostly German immigrants.

At Middle School 50 in Brooklyn, New York, principal Benjamin Honoroff and his students are pumped to start the day - a dramatic transformation from when he came in a decade ago. "We were on a list of persistently dangerous schools, and there'd been some pretty drastic enrollment decline from over a thousand students to 160 students," Honoroff said. But the former high school debate coach had an idea. He took a chance and integrated into every class, across all grade levels.

We were talking about her decision to home school or unschool, or home educate, depending on your tribal affiliation her two children, making her simultaneously part of a broader trend and also somewhat strange to herself. The cliche of home schooling still leans on the idea of a fringe choice made by fanatical parents who produce a poorly socialised child if you said of a child: They're home schooled, you'd trigger a knowing look that implied: Say no more. Well maybe all that is changing.

"Phoenix Education Partners, parent company of the for-profit University of Phoenix, which announced its IPO plans one day before the shutdown began, said on Wednesday that it has priced its shares at $32. That's the midpoint of its earlier targeted range of between $31 and $33 a share. The company intends to list on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the "PXED" ticker symbol. Selling shareholders will offer roughly 4.3 million shares of its common stock,"

My relationship with English began by force. Growing up in A Coruña, Spain, in the early 2000s, we were told that learning a second language was just as important as memorizing the multiplication table. After the 2008 financial crisis left the Spanish economy " melting down like a Dali horrorscape," as one Atlantic writer put it, English became what seemed like our national salvation, a one-way ticket to a better future abroad.
