have skystorians actually caught people wearing Meta’s pervert glasses during a test?

I have a colleague in another dept who swears this is happening all the time.

Just watched the first Burns Revolution episode. Nice to see some familiar faces, but it seems very…old-fashioned? Slow?

Evergreen student skills: reading the test instructions. And reading the syllabus, wherein the requirements and extra credit opportunities are, in fact, itemized.

Summers should’ve been kicked the curb when he said:

There are β€œinnate differences” between men and women and that might explain the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields.

So this is loooong overdue, and frankly allowing him to step down at end of year… is more grace than he deserves

Donald Trump Is No Longer the President of the United States We must accept what is happening

This seems like a good time to remind ourselves that Donald Trump is not the president of the United States. He forfeited his claim to office and is a usurper.

Florida changes law on corporal punishment in schools A bill requires parental consent for the use of corporal punishment, either for the entire school year or before each instance.

The patchiness of this within states such as Florida isn’t captured by the map, but it’s all too true. www.newsweek.com/florida-chan...

β€œI think it’s really important not to underestimate, again, why a single day of protest can be so powerful, given that in some parts of the country, people are demonstrating very obvious levels of personal courage to engage in it.”

I see it’s marketed as a β€œhotel housekeeping service” set. A
botched attempt to make kids aware that others work while they play?
