In terms of physical form, the 15-inch Asus CX15 isn't exactly the lightest Chromebook on the market at 3.5 pounds, but the plastic body feels durable enough, especially for a classroom device that will be used by multiple students throughout the day. It also comes in four colorways that give it some character: Pure Grey, Fabric Blue, Cream Pink, and Misty Green, a nice change of pace from the sea of corporate gray and white laptops -- and something that will appeal to younger users.
This year alone, I passed over 30 bills. It's hard to choose just one - whether it's S5320 expanding tuition assistance for students experiencing homelessness, S3121 protecting tenants from unfair rent fees, or S2126 uplifting underrepresented educators. With the Ignazio Giacalone Act, S1165A, we honor families of sanitation workers lost after 9/11. And with S8181, we protect first responders' health and dignity. Each bill reflects equity, fairness, and sacrifice - together, building a stronger, more just New York.
Dear Undecided, Hire Rhonda. She is an adult who presumably knows how large her breasts are, and if she is as impeccably qualified as you say, then she knows how to handle middle schoolers. Also, not hiring someone because of the size of their breasts could be considered discrimination because someone's sex is a protected class. Fun fact, if you didn't want to hire Rhonda because she was short or had blue eyes, that would actually be legal (although still gross!).
Judge 'minded' to make teacher liable for cost of security hired to keep him out of Wilson's Hospital Sacked schoolteacher Enoch Burke became involved in a stand-off earlier today with a security guard who attempted to stop him from gaining entry to a building at Wilson's Hospital School. The High Court was informed by a lawyer for the school's board of management that gardaí were called and were "on site".
Now, new research from Horvath and Fabricant challenges that assumption, and it does so with the kind of study design psychologists dream of: examining identical twins reared apart. Their findings suggest that education, of all things, may hold surprising power to raise measured intelligence. For educators, this study could be a validation of an instinct we've tapped on for years. For the rest, it offers hope that misreadings of prior research had closed off.
Founded in 1984, the Cartoon Art Museum has something for everyone-from comic strips, comic books and anime to political cartoons, graphic novels and underground comix.

This unique institution houses approximately 7,000 original pieces in our permanent collection and attracts more than 30,000 visitors annually.
"It was a situation that came to us about six weeks ago, just after the Wigan game, when he felt he wanted to go back home," Ferguson told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire. "He wants to continue his education. All we've done is give him time to make a decision, we've been very patient with him, and now he's decided that's the avenue he wants to go down."
Everywhere I look, someone is launching a "Learn Figma in 5 Days" crash course or a "Top 10 AI Hacks for Beginners" tutorial. And don't get me wrong - those courses aren't useless. They scratch an itch, they help you pick up a tool, and sometimes they even get you to a quick win. But they're not the kind of courses that shape how we design, write, or create.
The Government's plan to cut the rate of Vat for hospitality from 13.5pc to 9pc took quite a pounding last week with Budget Day looming. First came the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (Ifac) which upped the ante on the issue by highlighting how much the cost of the measure could be worth to workers in tax cuts, or how many more teachers could be hired if the money went into education instead of to pubs and restaurants.
Book bans are disheartening for a lot of reasons, but the worst part for me is what it says to young people who see themselves in these stories. I wish more adults would put the same energy they have towards banning books into creating a world where things like racism and police brutality no longer exist. For now, I'll continue to write books that are mirrors, windows and sliding glass doors, even when the mirrors reflect uncomfortable truths.
"I just used to completely sacrifice myself for whatever the thing was I was trying to achieve," Watson said on an Episode of "On Purpose" by Jay Shetty yesterday. "Making films, the hours on them are so demanding, that to have your own life alongside that, to have that balance is almost impossible," the star with an estimated $85 million net worth added.
There were limited changes to this year's form, but to test the changes that were made, a beta version was first made available to a select number of students and families in early August. Then, last week, all students could access the test form. Over the course of those two months, more than 40,000 applications have been started, about 27,000 have been submitted and roughly 24,000 have been processed without rejection.

Everyone employs bias-otherwise known as cognitive shortcuts-in their lives every day. Imagine you're scrolling through your social media feed and immediately dismiss a news article because it comes from a source you don't typically trust. Or maybe you're convinced your favorite restaurant is the best in town, remembering all the great meals you've eaten there while forgetting that mediocre dinner last month.
Thousands of revelers gathered in Harlem on Sunday for the 56th Annual African American Day Parade (AADP). The parade route stretched along Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard from 111th Street to 137th Street, featuring marching bands, community organizations, performance groups, floats, fraternities and sororities, civil servants, celebrities, and public leaders. The event was live-streamed by WABC 7. This year's theme-"Education is Our #1 Priority"-highlighted the importance of civic engagement.
Sociologist Talcott Parsons observed that social institutions have two functions: the written "manifest" function and the unwritten "latent" function. In many cases, the latent function is as important, if not more so, than the official function. One of the best examples of this can be found in the realm of public education. Its manifest function is to help students acquire literacy, reasoning, and academic skills. Its latent function is to help students acquire the behaviors needed to function in a complex social world.
U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna is hosting an education town hall in Cupertino on Sept. 28, when he will discuss his latest work in Congress and answer questions from constituents.

The examination of the influences has turned into a cultural cornerstone. The Netflix-produced series "Adolescence" examines how a 13-year-old boy influenced by the manosphere acts out violently toward a female classmate. The Democratic Party has launched a $20 million effort to win back young men after about 60% voted to re-elect President Donald Trump this past fall. And California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signaled the need to address boys' falling educational attainment and worsening mental health.
Randy Pausch had every right to do whatever he wanted. After all, he was a highly reputable professor at the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). Virtual reality was his area of expertise, and at the time it was a groundbreaking technology. He first started out in 1997 after clinching a role with the coveted Walt Disney Imagineering team. He could have dived deep into the technological advances he had made in VR, having many papers under his name.
When I was 16 years old, I sat in a crowded assembly hall on a wobbly plastic chair, and I listened to Mr. Smith tell me why I should study history. All of the teachers had to do it. "Sell your subject," the headmaster had said. "Make the kids want to pick it." Some teachers did so with the grudging monotone of the forced and underpaid employee. Some did it with the exhausting energy of a fanatic.
We will continue to hold this federal administration accountable, fighting to protect your rights, to protect access to health care, and so much more. When it comes to keeping trans youth safe, we will do whatever it takes. We are protecting our hospitals and clinics to provide the care that you may need. We won't look away if students are facing hostile learning environments, and we will hold schools accountable under our state laws.
Agency is what keeps us from running on cognitive autopilot. Artificial intelligence now offers to do much of that work for us. With a single prompt, we can receive elegant summaries and polished solutions that are so smooth and immediate that they can (and often do) lull us into submission. If we aren't careful, we risk becoming passengers in our own intellectual journey, letting the machine set the course.
U.S. democracy has always been fragile, and we are now witnessing its dismantlement. The rising tide of political violence poses one threat to democracy in this country, but another quieter threat is also hard at work via the erosion of free speech and critical thinking, both of which are necessary for a flourishing democracy. Trump's book bans and attacks on opposing political ideas, the blocking of independent journalism, the intimidation of news organizations, and the defunding of public media are all part of this erosion.
