“[I]t is a good idea to let teenagers sleep in accordance with their inner clock if you want them to thrive and make the most of school time. [T]he meeting time for 16-year-olds should be around 10 o’clock, and for 18-year-olds it should be moved to around 11 o’clock. However, in school and secondary education, the introduction of meeting times later than 8 am is a controversial topic.”

NEW: Remember when John Oliver opened a church to expose how easy it was to get tax exemptions?
This year, ProPublica reporters set out to establish private schools to test if, truly, anyone could open one.
We founded two. Here’s how.

#Memes are a good way to get the attention of students.

Hello, [Rapha] speaking.
Sent yesterday (19.09.2026) by Naeema.
On the left, this is Saji (9 years old) and on the right, this is Elias (11 years old). They are Naeema's little brothers.
They started the new school year 😊
Aylan, the twin sister of Elias, will start the new school year today.
And about Moamen and Abdul Rahman (Naeema's younger brothers; respectively 20 years old and 16 years old), Naeema wrote:

"School lunch debt" is a phrase that should not exist, anywhere, for any reason, ever.

Turn a racetrack into a school? The idea is causing tensions in a Quebec town
This week, elected officials voted to establish a land reserve on the grounds of Sanair, a 57-year-old racetrack in Saint-Pie, Que. The site is being considered for a new high school.

@StopdeGluurbril@mastodon.nl @nrc_nl@mastodon.nl Wij hopen dat veel scholen ook overgaan tot het duidelijk communiceren van een Gluurbril verbod!
Kennisnet schreef er al eens een stuk over: https://www.kennisnet.nl/trends/camerabrillen-waarom-je-als-school-nu-al-regels-nodig-hebt/ Met wat ons betreft te veel meel in de mond, wij zeggen tijd voor een 'Thuis Of in De Kliko beleid'! 😉

California schools will soon be able to easily search the names of bus drivers, janitors and other school support staff to see if they have substantiated claims of misconduct.
Why hasn’t a similar system for teachers succeeded?

I finally sat down and read the actual legal text of the #UAE Cabinet Resolution No. (106) of 2026, which sets a minimum age of 15 for social media use and regulates children's access to these platforms — not just the summary graphics circulating online. It has more structural issues than the public messaging suggests.
A few things stood out that didn't make it into the summaries:
Scope is jurisdictional, not residency-based. The resolution applies to any platform "available within the State or directed at users therein." That means a tourist's child logging into their existing #account from a UAE hotel room falls under this. Enforcement has no practical way to distinguish a resident from a #visitor — it's IP-based by necessity.
Self-declared age is explicitly banned. The text is direct: self-declaration "shall not be recognized." Platforms must use government digital ID, biometric age-estimation AI, or a licensed local verification provider. That's full identity verification infrastructure for every user, not a checkbox.
#Parents can't legally help. Caregivers are now obligated to avoid circumventing verification or providing false information to get a child onto a platform — even with good intentions, even for supervised access. The resolution removes discretion that used to sit with the family.
No #educational carve-out. The definition of "Social Media Platform" is broad: anything enabling profiles, social interaction, content sharing, or algorithmic content ranking. There's no exemption for #Google Workspace for Education, Microsoft Teams, or #school #WhatsApp groups — all of which technically qualify.
The verification standards themselves (Article 4) are actually well-written — data minimization, audit rights, no unjustified exclusion. The infrastructure requirement is thoughtful. What's missing is the follow-through: platforms are told to build accurate, privacy-respecting age verification, and then told to use it to lock kids out entirely instead of using the same system to give them a properly restricted, supervised experience.
We built the lock. We just used it on the wrong door.

ist doch wunderschön zu sehen, wenn Eltern, auch wenn sie wenig Geld haben, ihrem Kind ein schönes Zuhause bieten, oder?
Und natürlich freut es uns, dass wir der Familie ein wenig helfen konnten - ein alter Computer kann einen gewaltigen Unterschied im Leben einer Familie ausmachen.

What is your answer to 18÷3x2=?
Boosts appreciated
No, this isn't a trick question. An oft-cited blog has made the claim that "most humans" will get the wrong answer, which I think is a completely ridiculous claim, so I want hard data on the split. Unlike some other polls I've run, I want #teachers and #students to answer also, since you all come under "most humans" :-)

Senators Push Federal Regulator to Prove School Bus Safety Data Is Accurate
---
The request from two Democratic lawmakers comes after WBUR and ProPublica found that the federal safety record was missing dozens of fatal crashes involving one of the nation’s largest public transit operators.

No. Power. Left.
This has been the last day of school for this summer. I was up at 2:20 am, warmed up, ran, showered, cycled to school at 6:35, loaded lots of equipment into a van, drove over to the concert hall for our closing ceremony, afterwards back with all the stuff to our school. There: closing ceremony for the staff – with music. Then: Home (cycling at 34 deg C). Sleep. Bliss. More sleep tonight! #running #apex4 #coros #school #sleep #music
