Members phkrause Posted December 5, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 5, 2023 Schools are sending more kids to the hospital for misbehaving Why this matters: Last year, children were handcuffed and sent to the emergency room at least 117 times from Wicomico schools, about once per every 100 students. Black students are more frequently subjected to these removals than their peers, according to available data. Advocates point to students with disabilities also being removed at higher rates. The practice isn’t just happening in Wicomico. Recent data shows New York City schools still call police to take children in emotional distress to the emergency room despite a 2014 settlement in which they agreed to stop the practice. A Kentucky school district used a psychiatric assessment on kids over 1,000 times in a year and thousands of children in Florida have been subjected to the Baker Act, the state’s involuntary commitment statute. By law, certain classroom removals must be recorded. Schools are required to publicly report the data, which often triggers oversight and investigations. But most states do not routinely collect information on removals from school for psychiatric assessments, leaving room for schools to sidestep accountability.

Members phkrause Posted December 5, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 5, 2023 U.S. math scores plunge Data: OECD. (2006 reading scores not available due to test-booklet printing errors.) Chart: Thomas Oide/Axios A global exam out today shows U.S. 15-year-olds' math scores lagging way behind their peers in the world's industrialized countries. U.S. students saw a 13-point drop in 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) math results when compared to the 2018 exam, Axios' Ivana Saric reports. The U.S. scored above the OECD average in reading and science. Why it matters: The 2022 PISA edition is the first to take place since the pandemic. It compares the test results of nearly 700,000 students across 81 OECD member states and partner economies. 💡 What works: 31 countries and economies maintained or improved upon their 2018 math scores, including Switzerland and Japan. Countries that did so shared some common characteristics, including shorter school closures during the pandemic and fewer impediments to remote learning, per the report. 🖼️ The big picture: Students around the world have suffered historic setbacks in reading and math since COVID. The setbacks spanned nations rich and poor, big and small, with few making progress. 🧠 Context: Multiple studies have highlighted the adverse and stark impact of the pandemic on education.

Members phkrause Posted February 1 Author Members Share Posted February 1 🎒 Schools stifled on Black history Illustration: Aïda Amer/Axios As Black History Month opens today, educators wrestle with increasing limits on what they can teach about racism and history, Axios' Russell Contreras writes. Why it matters: New laws in at least 14 states, and various restrictions elsewhere, are leading many teachers to simply mention important figures in Black history without getting into the racism they faced. Under Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida has been among the most aggressive states in limiting what educators can teach. In 2022, DeSantis signed a bill that effectively prevents teaching certain concepts related to race, national origin or sex that could make students uncomfortable. Such policies are why many teachers now approach Black History Month carefully, said Crystal Etienne, a middle school civics teacher in Miami-Dade County, Florida's largest school district: "How do I teach the end of slavery, the 13th Amendment, and then not answer or acknowledge" the atrocities of slavery?

Members phkrause Posted April 12 Author Members Share Posted April 12 FAFSA filings down as deadline looms Illustration: Maura Losch/Axios Just a few days remain for Texas high school seniors to apply for federal student aid for a shot at the best possible financial aid package from colleges. But far fewer students have submitted the form this year than in past years as delays and glitches plague the process. Why it matters: Because the new Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) process is working so poorly, some students face the possibility of choosing a college without knowing whether they'll be able to afford it. How it works: This is the third academic year that Texas high school seniors are required to fill out the FAFSA. The form is how the federal government, states and colleges determine financial aid eligibility. State of play: The new version of the form was supposed to streamline the notoriously difficult process and expand aid eligibility — but its rollout has been disastrous. The U.S. education secretary sent a letter to governors Tuesday, asking them to adjust state financial aid deadlines, budget for potential state grant aid increases and ensure relevant agencies can process aid efficiently. Threat level: The issues have led to delays in processing financial aid offers, complicating college decisions. What they're doing: The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is monitoring the situation ahead of the Monday deadline, but officials haven't decided to push the deadline back for a third time, spokesperson Mike Eddleman tells Axios. By the numbers: 40% of Texas seniors had completed the application as of March 29, according to the National College Attainment Network. At the same time last year, nearly 60% had done so. Flashback: Texas' high school class of 2023 left $443 million in Pell grants on the table, per NCAN. More than $4 billion went unclaimed nationally. Zoom in: Southern Methodist University uses FAFSA and the College Board's CSS Profile to determine financial aid eligibility. While May 1 is the deadline for admitted students to put in a deposit, the university is offering flexibility "on a case-by-case basis" for students who expect to receive need-based aid, a spokesperson tells Axios.
