Not in the sense that truth has vanished or that learning no longer matters, but in the deeper, structural sense that knowledge as a stable possession-think dusty books and road maps-has lost its central role in human cognition. In a world where information is instant and increasingly available "on demand," the old idea of "knowing" seems to feel like an artifact of another era.

Oh man, they're coming from everywhere thinking I have 'em,

The most exciting moments for a teacher come when students stumble onto something unexpected-when they run to my office to tell me about a new twist in their thinking about birds in Sula or the discovery of yet another biblical reflection in Housekeeping. Those revelations come only when they survey the text as it is, not as they assume it to be.

We are proud to begin implementing this historic partnership that will not only create a better coordinated federal approach to postsecondary education and workforce development, but will also ensure that students pursuing higher education pursue programs aligned with their career goals and workforce needs," Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education David Barker said in a statement.

As reported by the Harvard Crimson student newspaper, reflecting on the present challenges to institutions around accusations of intolerance and hostility to free debate, Garber came down firmly on the side of not debating (bold is mine): "I'm pleased to say that I think there is real movement to restore balance in teaching and to bring back the idea that you need to be objective in the classroom."

Rather than using the visual word form area in the reading brain, where images of correct spellings are stored in long-term memory for automatic proficient reading and composing, kids use technology tools, eliminating human thinking and making the machine do the work. These tools can circumvent cognitive processes, hindering elementary students from developing a large bank of correctly spelled words essential for automatic reading and literacy.

Ian Ramjohn remembers the first time he edited Wikipedia. It was 2004, when the site was just three years old, and its information about the government of his home nation of Trinidad and Tobago was a decade out of date. But with little more than his Internet connection, he corrected the page in minutes. That was huge, he says. I got hooked pretty much right away.

San Francisco, CA, January 12, 2026 - ClassDojo is now an all-in-one district communication platform, expanding ClassDojo for Districts with new capabilities that give K-12 leaders greater visibility and insight across schools without changing how teachers and families already use the platform.

The TRACX program really strengthened my research skills by allowing me to engage directly with authentic ocean core data and learn how to analyze it using real scientific methods,

The list of proposed cuts would be insulting and an abuse of trust to this community, JuNelle Harris, a Livermore resident and mother to a second grade student, told the board Tuesday night. She urged the school board to first hold wider discussions with parents, calling any immediate decision completely inappropriate and one that would cause tremendous damage to students.

Israel limits the ability of teachers from the West Bank to travel to occupied East Jerusalem. At least 25,000 students in occupied East Jerusalem are taking part in a strike after Israel prevented access to teachers from the occupied West Bank. The strike was called by the General Secretariat of Christian Educational Institutions in Jerusalem and later joined by all private schools in East Jerusalem.

The Department of Education in Victoria, Australia, notified parents that attackers accessed a database containing the personal information and email addresses of current and former students, prompting password resets. The department disclosed the breach in letters sent to parents, stating that an unauthorized third party accessed students' names, school names, year levels, and school-issued email addresses, as well as encrypted passwords for accounts that use them.

Around 73pc of all Leaving Cert students went to college last year, as financial pressures increase

One of the clearest signs that a child may need extra academic support is a noticeable decline in grades or consistently low results. This can happen gradually or suddenly and often does not reflect a lack of effort. In many cases, children fall behind because they have missed key concepts earlier in the year, making it difficult to keep up as lessons become more demanding. This is especially common in subjects like maths, science and English, where knowledge builds over time.

But the Nevada association voted in April to require students in sex-segregated sports programs to play on teams that align with their sex assigned at birth - a departure from a previous approach allowing individual schools to set their own standards. The move raised questions for how the Tahoe-Truckee district would remain in the Nevada association while following California law, which says students can play on teams consistent with their gender identity.

I am fortunate to have spent time with Larry and get to know his deep passion for UCLA Athletics, particularly his desire to help our football and men's basketball programs thrive in this new era of collegiate sports. His investment in our programs positions us, and future generations of Bruin athletes, for long-term success.

Months before a San Jose high school attracted national attention when an image of students forming a human swastika on a football field went viral, a Jewish student in the Santa Cruz Mountains was targeted in a way that left no ambiguity, according to state records: A classmate allegedly taped a Nazi flag to the student's back without his knowledge, snapped a photo and made a hand puppet that resembled Adolf Hitler. San Lorenzo Valley Unified School District investigated the incident and closed the case.

Manufacturing environments are becoming more advanced, automated, and electrified-but they are also becoming more dangerous. High-voltage (HV) systems, robotics, advanced machinery, and tightly coupled production lines introduce risks that traditional training methods are no longer equipped to address effectively. Instructor-led classroom training, PDFs, videos, and even supervised shadowing have long been the foundation of manufacturing training. However, when the consequences of error include severe injury, fatal accidents, equipment damage, or production downtime,

January often sees children have more money in their pockets than usual, so we asked parents how they manage cash with kids Financially, being a teenager is an exciting time. You might have your first part-time job, or a bit of cash from babysitting. You're likely to have your first experience of shopping, buying cinema tickets, or going for meals with friends.

For brothers Boone and Ford Casady, pickleball is more than just a game, it is a passion. The 16-year-old twins are among the top junior players on the planet, but more important to them than trophies and medals is a desire to spread the fastest-growing sport in America to high schools and colleges. Their vision, combined with the persistence of fellow Crossroads sophomores Samantha Leeds and Hannah Carey, has birthed the L.A. High School Pickleball League, the first of its kind in California.

They are taught no emotional reaction is bad and to speak up about anything that makes them uncomfortable, including hugs. As a result, St Saviour's doesn't have any permanent exclusions and a lower rate of suspensions. Over 9,000 London schoolchildren are receiving lessons up to three times a week on respect, kindness and how their actions make others feel. The project is designed by the global education specialists, Think Equal.

The department's proposal, which aligns the two accountability

Boston federal judge F Dennis Saylor IV ordered a school district in Massachusetts to make "reasonable efforts" to ensure parents can prevent their children from learning about LGBTQ+ people. Lexington father and "devout Christian", Alan L, sued Joseph Estabrook Elementary School in October 2025 after learning its education materials included books which he said contradict his anti-LGBTQ+ views on marriage.
