NEW: Gov. Greg Abbott spent years trying to make school vouchers a reality in Texas, even pushing to unseat rural Republicans who stood in the way. Some lawmakers believe the effort contributed to his party's historic demise in the midterms. #News #Texas #TX #Education #Congress #TXPol #USPolitics #Schools #Teaching #Parenting

Texas’ School Voucher Program Could Be “Unrecognizable, If Not Extinct,” Says Democratic Lawmaker

Democrats won back the Texas House for the first time in 24 years. Gov. Greg Abbott’s bullishness on vouchers turned off some Republican voters in rural communities that have historically been strongholds for his party, politicians said.

As (another Emeritus Prof.) John Holford (UNottingham) argues, one clear way to rebuild democracy in this country is to revive & rebuild adult education. As someone who was a mature student (studying between my mid-20s & mid-30s) I completely concur: for many, access to all levels of education after school-leaving age would be a major route to self-fulfilment & a more informed electorate (which is why our political class are lukewarm). #education #politics #democracy h/t Guardian Letters

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧠👁️ Around 10% of #students experience #aphantasia, a lack of mental imagery that can make #science harder to learn. A study across seven #Sydney private schools found load reduction instruction boosted test scores by about 20% for these students. The #research recommends physical models and concrete language over “imagine this” prompts. 👉 https://phys.org/news/2026-07-assume-students-pictures-minds.html #education #learning #teaching #neurodiversity #classroom #psychology

We assume students see pictures in their minds as they learn. But not everyone can

Picture a bright red apple. Most people can do this easily. They imagine the apple's shape, color and shine. But for others, the image is vague and blurry or they "see" nothing at all. This is known as aphantasia—a "blind mind's eye."

Hands-on AI workshops in the Helsinki area: groups of 5–12, no slide decks, everyone works on their own tasks. I teach companies, nonprofits, and testing and development teams efficient prompting, help them build AI into real workflows, and show where it doesn't fit. You use it in your work the next day, and you still make the decisions. I use AI daily, so examples come from what I've done, not what I've read. https://ai-koulutukset.fi #Introduction #AI #Education #Finland
