This is a perfect example of creating conditions that prevent a crisis. Crisis prevention starts before an event - and in some cases can even prevent the event. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/n...

"The problem with this rationale is it frames all teachers as probable threats to their students. It is akin to banning cars from the road because some drivers run red lights or speed, thereby putting pedestrians at risk. . ."

To reduce the chances of grooming and sexual misconduct with students, teachers in Kentucky are now banned from interacting with them outside of school district-adopted platforms. This education leader shares what she believes the problem is with that rationale. #EWOpinion

They've always attacked higher ed. In the 1920s, they called their target "evolution," but they attacked universities and professors for teaching Diversity, Equity, or Inclusion. (Cartoon from WSJ, 1925) I laid out the 1920s history for Nature: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The teaching profession never really recovered from the pandemic. A new book explains why, and what we can do about it.
Education Professor Lora Bartlett and her collaborators collected detailed data on the pandemic and post-pandemic experiences of 75 teachers across the country, revealing how the pandemic era hastened a downward spiral in career satisfaction and longevity for teachers.

A feminized profession is not simply one in which women disproportionality work or care work is elevated - it is one that is disrespected and devalued B/C women do it & care is centered. Start institutionally valuing ALL of what it takes to make schools thrive! www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
