The US #school system is deeply flawed.

Why do we force #children to sit still for 8 hours per day? Force them to wake/sleep against their brain's natural cycle (sleep is when #memories form and for kids, neurodevelopment too).

Sometimes we even throw #medications at them to force this #compliance.

And if a kid is #neurodivergent, this is extremely toxic. e.g. I am NOT OK, the public school system has given me #cPTSD, and stunted my intellectual development.

We need to do better for all #kids. And banning #books is not the right way to do it.

Engadget: Roblox parental controls now include a block button. “Roblox is again updating its parental control features in an effort to give parents more visibility into (and control over) their children’s activities on the platform. The company is updating its in-app ‘Safety Center’ to counter concerns that Roblox, which unlike social media apps allows children under 13, puts its youngest […]

But many in the community had feared for the boy’s safety for a long time.

For years before the man’s disappearance, his teachers, classmates, neighbors & his elementary school principal all believed he was suffering silently. They repeatedly called the Waterbury #Police & the #Connecticut Dept of #Children & Families [#DCF] to intercede for a child they said was so hungry that he ate from the trash & stole his classmates’ food.

Excellent article on #DaraHorn's new children's #book and more!

"When are #children ready to encounter a #Jewish #history of persecution and slaughter?

One answer is provided during the seder itself, which often ends with the traditional song “Chad Gadya,” or one little goat in #Aramaic. It’s a “cumulative” song about a baby goat that is eaten by a cat, who’s killed by a dog, who’s beaten with a stick, culminating with the Angel of Death being slain by God. One interpretation is that the goat represents the Jewish people, and the climax of the song signals the redemption of the #Jews. It’s a dark theme smuggled into an upbeat, if macabre, children’s song.

Making light of the #seder’s darker themes is a #Passover tradition all its own, and Horn is on board with it.

“By the time children are old enough to appreciate [the darkness], they own the #story. They’re characters in the story, and they know that about themselves and that this is a story about us,” said Horn."

The next generation of Bakonzo people will be profoundly impacted by the loss of glaciers. Masereka says: ‘I will tell my son it was very beautiful to have snow on the Rwenzori for our livelihood … it will be unfortunate, but I will encourage him to involve himself in conservation-related activities as an alternative to the snow, which was our resource in our time’
