  • Despite advances in early ed research, teacher pay lags far behind

    Jul 13, 2016

    Earnings in the early education field remain strikingly low when compared to other teachers, two new studies show – and that, in turn, is harming the learning environments that many young students encounter at an age that research increasingly shows is a key period of child development. "Those first five years are foundational, they're critical years," said Libby Doggett, deputy assistant secretary for policy and early learning at the U.S. Department of Education. "Unfortunately, the lower the age of the children, the lower the salary, which i...

  • When It Comes to Grading, Is '50' the New 'Zero'?

    Jul 13, 2016

    This fall, fewer students in the D.C.-metro area will have reason to fear their report cards. Schools in Fairfax County in Virginia and Prince George's County in Maryland will implement "no zero" policies to prevent students who put forth effort to finish their assignments from receiving grades below 50, reports the Washington Post. The districts are two of the latest to jump on an increasing trend to rethink grading practices, including efforts that make it harder for students to fail by giving them more chances to make up tests or missing...

    Jul 13, 2016

    LOS ANGELES, CA - According to a report published in the American Academy of Pediatrics, bullying is a major risk factor for teen suicide- for both the victims and the bullies.

According to the CDC, 17% of teens in high school said they had seriously considered suicide and 2.7% had made an attempt that resulted in an injury. These numbers are devastating. The...

  • Obama pays tribute to Dallas officers shot in racial attack

    Jul 13, 2016

    DALLAS — President Barack Obama urged Americans rattled by a week of violence and protests to find "open hearts" and new empathy Tuesday in a speech that seesawed between honoring police officers for their bravery and decrying racial prejudice that can affect their work. Obama spoke near five empty chairs for the police officers killed last week by a black man seeking vengeance for police killings. Behind him, underscoring his message of unity: Dallas police officers, a racially diverse church choir and local officials who ranged from black P...

  • Flooding worries rising day after tornadoes strike in central Minnesota

    Jul 13, 2016

    LITCHFIELD, Minn. – Rae Ann Brutger stood on her doorstep and wept. The tornado had shoved her home 10 feet off its foundation, leaving her living room at a crazy tilt. She surveyed the damage, stepping cautiously over the smashed snowman figurines she had spent decades collecting and the family photos that had spilled out of an off-kilter cupboard. “I sincerely realize it could have been much worse,” she said, wiping her eyes and nodding toward her neighbor’s place. The tornado that ripped though the Litchfield mobile home park flatten...

  • Federal court says state must keep fixing culverts

    Jul 13, 2016

    The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed a 2013 district court decision mandating Washington fix hundreds of culverts that obstruct the passage of spawning salmon. The latest federal ruling, issued late last month, is a significant win for tribal fishing rights across the state. “We conclude that in building and maintaining barrier culverts Washington has violated, and continues to violate, its obligation to the tribes under the fishing clause of the treaties,” wrote Judge William Fletcher for the federal panel, in a unanimous dec...
