The conviction stemmed from an incident where Long forcibly carried a woman into an apartment during a domestic dispute witnessed by an off-duty Cobb County police officer. Long and the woman were in a dating relationship with a history of domestic violence. He chased her into the parking lot, wrestled her to the ground, carried her back into the apartment, and pinned her down. The woman eventually escaped using pepper spray.

Defense argued Willis financially benefited from the relationship, impacting her impartiality. They also criticized her remarks at a Black church, accusing her of playing the "race card." Willis denied any wrongdoing, stating the relationship began after Wade's hiring. The defense questioned the validity of cellphone records showing extensive communication between Willis and Wade. The judge is expected to issue a ruling within two weeks.

In this episode, Lisa and Julie discuss:Understanding your student's goals before enrolling in Advanced Placement (AP) or Dual Enrollment (DE) courses. Why your teen's AP exam score matters more to colleges than their grade in the AP class. How to know what your student's desired colleges will accept for college credit. Exploring academic, college major, and career interests through DE and AP courses.Key Takeaways: AP courses are standardized nationally, and they have a set curriculum as designated by the College Board. DE courses vary depending on where you live and how the DE course is being conducted.Some selective colleges and universities do not grant credit for AP or DE courses but recognize them as preparation for college. AP exams have a standard cost for taking the exam. DE course costs vary by state. Admissions officers will consider what a student chooses to take with what choices are available to them. Your student will not be penalized if their high school has limited AP and DE choices.  “The key is knowing what your school district offers, sanctions, and has available to you.” – Julie SpakAbout Julie Spak - Educational Consultant, Career Coach & Independent College Counselor: Since 1985, Julie has been connecting students to their futures in her work as a College Admissions Officer, Financial Aid Officer, and Honors Program Counselor at the University of New Hampshire, where she received her M.Ed in Counseling and BA in Communication and English.

High school students in the United States can earn college credits by taking and passing Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The classes, developed by The College Board, cover many subjects, including English, history, math, and sciences among others. 美国的高中生可以通过参加并通过大学先修课程 (AP) 课程来获得大学学分。 这些课程由美国大学理事会开发，涵盖许多科目，包括英语、历史、数学和科学等。 This week, the non-profit organization released a new set of ideas and skills, called a framework, for its AP African American Studies course. The latest version comes months after the organization was criticized for discussing course requirements with conservative critics. 本周，这个非营利组织为其 AP 非裔美国人研究课程发布了一套新的想法和技能，称为框架。 最新版本是在该组织因与保守派批评者讨论课程要求而受到批评几个月后发布的。 Changes include more attention to ideas such as the Tulsa Race Massacre, Black culture's influence on film and sports, and discrimination in housing, known as redlining. The latest version will be used when the class officially launches at the start of the next school year. 变化包括更加关注塔尔萨种族大屠杀、黑人文化对电影和体育的影响以及住房歧视（称为红线）等想法。 下一学年开始课程正式启动时将使用最新版本。 The AP African American History course gained national attention earlier this year. At that time, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, currently a Republican presidential candidate, said he would ban the course in his state because it pushed political issues. Florida released a list of concerns it had with the pilot, an early version of a course. 今年早些时候，AP 非裔美国人历史课程引起了全国的关注。 当时，佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯（现任共和党总统候选人）表示，他将在该州禁止该课程，因为它会引发政治问题。 佛罗里达州发布了一份对试点项目的担忧清单，这是课程的早期版本。 In February, the College Board released its first official version of the AP course. It did not contain several subjects on the list of Florida's concerns, including Black Lives Matter, slavery reparations and several important Black writers. 二月，美国大学理事会发布了 AP 课程的第一个正式版本。 它不包含佛罗里达州关注的几个主题，包括“黑人的命也是命”、奴隶制赔偿和几位重要的黑人作家。 The board was then widely criticized for giving in to political pressure. The new changes pay attention to some of that criticism. 随后，董事会因屈服于政治压力而受到广泛批评。 新的变化关注了其中的一些批评。The latest version includes several important Black writers that were excluded, and written works about feminism and intersectionality. Intersectionality is the idea that race, gender, and class combine to create different levels of discrimination and privilege in society. 最新版本包括几位被排除在外的重要黑人作家，以及有关女权主义和交叉性的作品。 交叉性是指种族、性别和阶级结合起来在社会中造成不同程度的歧视和特权。 The College Board did not add back every subject that was removed earlier. The Black Lives Matter movement is still not included in the final test for the course. However, it is mentioned along with other examples and listed among subjects that schools could choose from for further discussion. 大学理事会没有重新添加之前删除的所有科目。 “黑人生命也是命”运动仍未包含在该课程的最终测试中。 然而，它与其他示例一起被提及，并被列为学校可以选择进行进一步讨论的主题。 Nelva Williams is a member of the course's development committee. She has been a teacher for more than 40 years. She also taught a pilot class of AP African American Studies in Houston, Texas. 内尔瓦·威廉姆斯是该课程开发委员会的成员。 她当老师已有 40 多年了。 她还在德克萨斯州休斯顿教授了 AP 非裔美国人研究试点班。 Williams said, “The updates are based on teacher recommendations, and changes coincide with the latest scholarship and resources used at the collegiate level.” 威廉姆斯说：“这些更新是基于教师的建议，并且变化与大学级别使用的最新奖学金和资源相一致。” Rashad Shabazz teaches several courses related to race at Arizona State University. He said the course provides students with the basics to understand the field of African-American studies. But it does not contain in-depth theoretical discussions that are more common at the college level. 拉沙德·沙巴兹 (Rashad Shabazz) 在亚利桑那州立大学教授几门与种族相关的课程。 他说，该课程为学生提供了了解非裔美国人研究领域的基础知识。 但它不包含大学层面更常见的深入理论讨论。 Next year, the AP course will be available to all schools in the U.S. But it remains unclear how many will offer it. Holly Stepp, a spokesperson for the College Board, said they are pleased with the interest that has been expressed in the course. 明年，美国所有学校都将开设 AP 课程，但目前尚不清楚有多少学校会开设该课程。 美国大学理事会发言人霍莉·斯特普 (Holly Stepp) 表示，他们对人们对该课程表现出的兴趣感到高兴。

Manzeel Ahmed is a second-year college student with a passion for Mechanical Engineering. Simultaneously, he is carving a niche for himself in the world of affiliate marketing and striving to promote his book, a comprehensive solution to America's and, by extension, the world's problems—a labour of love that consumed two years of his life.Hailing from a lineage of distinction, Manzeel's uncle, Dr. Nasir Uddin Ahmed, is a distinguished professor of Public Administration at Grambling State University in Ruston, Louisiana. Though raised humbly in America, Manzeel is rooted in a legacy of respectability, with his ancestral home bearing his late grandfather's name on Taj Mahal Rd, C-Block Dhaka, Bangladesh. His grandfather's tenure as a government official under both British and East Pakistan administrations stands as a testament to his family's enduring commitment to public service.Throughout his academic journey, Manzeel displayed an insatiable appetite for knowledge, pursuing a diverse array of Advanced Placement (AP) courses, including in-depth studies of United States History and government, alongside a suite of demanding science courses.A deep-seated concern for the political turbulence in the United States and a critical evaluation of the educational system's approach to intimacy and character development led Manzeel to embark on a profound period of introspection. A committed thinker, he delved into the intricacies of law and governance, ultimately galvanizing him to craft his own comprehensive framework.Drawing upon a vast reservoir of knowledge spanning philosophy and various disciplines, Manzeel envisions a reformed financial landscape, advocating for the prohibition of short selling, an income tax structure based on net equity after a year's expenses, and a revolutionary shift in banking practices towards profit-sharing and equity participation.His vision extends to healthcare, where he champions government financing for emergency care and advocates for universal access to the highest quality of medical services. Manzeel Ahmed is poised to leave an indelible mark on the world through his tireless pursuit of innovative solutions to some of the most pressing issues of our time. Hosted on Acast.

In today's episode, Tom Campbell (CEG's Community Manager) and Susan Tree (a college counseling and admissions legend with 40+ years of experience) chat about all things related to the academic part of a student's college application— which, at many selective colleges, is seen as the “foot in the door” of their selection process. This is part 1 of a series we'll be doing around students' academic background and interests and how they factor into the admissions process. Part 2 is all about “intellectual curiosity”: a quality that many colleges actively look for in students, yet is a little more ambiguous and nuanced compared to mapping out a high school course plan. On the episode you'll hear Susan and Tom discuss: Why taking five solid academic courses (English, math, social studies, science and language) each year of high school gives students the broadest range of exciting college options How advanced course rigor (including Advanced Placement/AP and International Baccalaureate/IB courses) is evaluated by colleges The potential danger of “overspecialization” in an academic subject too early The value of demonstrating self-directedness in your academic journey— and where do to that in an application How admissions officers evaluate and contextualize your transcript and high scho0l profile when making admissions decisions1   Why these episodes? According to the 2018-2019 National Association for College Admission Counseling's Admission Trend Survey, students' grades and strength of curriculum are the top two application components that are of “considerable importance” to colleges During CEG's Applying to Highly Selective Colleges & Universities Course, the section on academics received the most questions out of all other application components— and elicited the most confusion! While we aren't able to give all students and families who come to us for support individualized guidance about their particular high school (though we do offer comprehensive college counseling at CEG!), we wanted this podcast to provide the most comprehensive advice possible around academic choices   Play-by-play 5:33 - So… Why are we talking about planning your HS Academic Journey? 8:28 - What are the benefits of planning your HS experience early? 10:39 - What do colleges expect from students? 11:08 - How do you check a college website for their required HS coursework? 12:48 - How is it different at more competitive universities? 13:14 - What if your HS doesn't offer opportunities for the classes you want to take? 14:44 - What is the value of self-directedness? 15:06 - How do I better understand how my school is viewed by admissions officers? 17:19 - What do admissions officers want to know about the school as it relates to your academic record? 19:24 - Why you should be looking at your transcript and school profile side-by-side 21:32 - Thinking like an admissions reader  22:26 - Transcripts vs. report cards 23:38 - How being aware of what colleges have access to can help you be strategic  25:44 - How do you put your academic experience into perspective? 27:18 - What students often don't realize about their application evaluation  29:50 - How important is it to tell your own story 31:28 - HS Counselor Tip: Your School Profile 32:56 - AP (Advanced Placement) course considerations 35:11 - How will colleges view XYZ  courses?

Michael is the most experienced developer of innovative educational programs in the US and the Founder of The Socratic Experience, an online school based on Socratic dialogue that emphasizes personalized and purpose-driven education for students in grades 3-12.His remarkable career in education spans over three decades, and includes creating many high-performance school programs that promote critical thinking, creativity, and entrepreneurship in students across the country.Some of Michael's notable projects include a public school program in which minority female students gained four years' worth of critical thinking gains in four months (on the Watson-Glaser) and Moreno Valley High School, a Paideia charter high school, which was ranked the 36th-best US public high school by Newsweek.He also created The Winston Academy, where middle school students passed Advanced Placement (AP) exams, making it the most academically advanced school in the US at the time. Thousands of his students have been admitted to top universities, including Harvard, Stanford, Georgetown, and many other post-secondary institutions.Michael's impact on education extends beyond the classroom, as he is also the author of The Habit of Thought: From Socratic Seminars to Socratic Practice and Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World's Problems, which includes a foreword by John Mackey, the Co-Founder and former CEO of Whole Foods Market, with whom he has collaborated on initiatives related to conscious capitalism and entrepreneurship.He has spoken at Harvard, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, the University of Chicago, and dozens of other universities, and his work has been featured in academic journals (The Journal of Business Ethics, Economic Affairs, Critical Review, etc.), specialty publications (Microfinance Insights, Policy Innovations, Carnegie Ethics, etc.), and popular media (The New York Times, Bloomberg, The Huffington Post, RealClearPolitics, Barron's, etc.).  

In this episode we discuss what dual enrollment is and how it can save you plenty of money over your college career. We share our personal experience with our daughter Katelyn and her taking college classes during the summer to graduate on time. We welcome back our guest host Deanne, my wife and she shares what planning for college was like. Dual enrollment allows high school students to take college classes while they are still enrolled in high school. These classes count for both high school and college credit. High school students who complete dual enrollment classes generally take fewer classes in college and save money on total college costs. 48 States and the District of Columbia have dual enrollment classes. How Dual Enrollment Works 1)Requirements vary by state, but students typically must be a junior or senior and must maintain a minimum GPA, like 3.0 2)Classes are usually introductory college subjects like Humanities, English, Math, Social Studies and Science. 3)If the student passes the class, (Usually means you must pass with a C or better) it will count for both high school and college credit. 4) Most dual enrollment classes are taken at the student's high school, online or at your local community college. Cons There is no guarantee that the college you attend will accept your dual enrollment credits. An in-state public college is more likely to accept dual credit than out-of-state public colleges or private colleges. Students should research their options and meet with their school counselor before enrolling in a dual enrollment class. A dual credit class will likely be more difficult than a similar high school class. You have to find a way to get to and from the dual enrollment classes you're taking. Or make sue it is at your HS or online. Your school might not have a dual credit program. In that case explore taking community college classes online that will be accepted at your list of potential colleges. Pros In 26 states, dual enrollment tuition is free to students through public funding, while in 12 other states parents pay. Families who have to pay for dual-enrollment credits may use a 529 plan to cover tuition costs. Dual enrollment courses can cost up to $400. Significantly cheaper than the actual course in most colleges. Advanced Placement (AP) classes which usually count for a college class typically last for a full school year for one class. In the same time it takes to take a single AP class, a student could take two dual enrollment (or college) classes. Also consider the fact that if you take enough dual credit classes to graduate from college a semester early, besides tuition you will also save on room and board costs. This will help reduce the amount you'll have to borrow in student loans. Recommendation-Pick 8-10 colleges you'd like to consider by the end of sophomore year in HS. See which ones will accept core classes from your community college. Take either dual enrollment classes at your HS. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

GUEST BIO Nicolas Kee Mew is a Sino-Mauritian-British award-winning care home manager based in London. He was recently awarded the British Citizen Award Medal at the Palace of Westminster and has won several national dementia awards. When he is not taking care care of patients, he is raising awareness or fundraising for dementia research.. Instagram | Facebook DEFINITIONS Hakka: Chinese ethnic group, and language spoken by the group. A-levels: Standardized exams administered by Cambridge University (U.K.), similar to the Advanced Placement (AP) programs in the U.S. TAKEAWAYS Your high school grades are not the end all be all. Asking people what support looks like to them instead of taking over and telling them what to do is likely a more productive strategy. Dementia is a fatal illness that still has no cure. But it can be prevented or delayed through lifestyle changes. Recognizing early signs of dementia and seeking diagnosis is key in order to start treatment as soon as possible. There are two types of professional care to consider. Home care, and care (nursing/retirement) homes.

Black History Month is more than just a month to us, it's who we are. Tune in to this week to hear our thoughts on Florida officials rejecting a new Advanced Placement (AP) course on African American studies, calling it "work indoctrination" that "significantly lacks educational value". AKA they not ready for the real black history.

On Friday, the Florida Department of Education said it will not allow an Advanced Placement (AP) class on African American Studies to be taught in the state's public schools. The class was developed by the College Board as one of its many classes high school students could take to gain college credits. The Department of Education says the class violates a Florida law which Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) introduced to fight what he describes as "woke indoctrination" in schools. Plus, a follow-up story on Rep. George Santos (R-NY) and some good news for veterans' health. You can read today's podcast here and today's “Under the Radar” story here.

After the nation issued a national emergency on March 13, 2020, the impact on public education rushed in like a tsunami. Schools shut their doors and hustled to transition to remote education. The word “unprecedented,” was the word uttered across the country. Both local and federal government levels took note, and a hall pass was granted—mandated end-of-year testing would be waived. Meanwhile, College Board, a non-profit known for the SAT and Advanced Placement (AP) tests, soldiered on. The organization cobbled together an at-home version of their end-of-year AP tests in just two months. The result? A flurry of technical issues: crashing tests, server slowness, and bandwidth struggles. College Board's response? A disregard of complaints as issues on the onus of the student, the test-taker. Now in the wake of its cobbled 2020 AP tests, College Board has earned itself a class action lawsuit. The non-profit faces charges including breach of contract, gross negligence, and violations of the ADA, to name a few.On this episode of Ratified, host Daniel Litwin takes the intersection of business & politics to the US education system, hovering a magnifying glass over high-school standardized testing designed by College Board and trends of commercialization in the industry. In a multi-dimensional analysis, Ratified looks at how the tests grew to popularity, who creates them, what systems keep them a nationwide standard, and why College Board's latest remote AP testing debacle boils down to much more than just computer error. The podcast welcomes two education professionals for outside analysis and a comprehensive look at the situation. Bob Schaeffer, Interim Executive Director at FairTest: The National Center for Fair & Open Testing, details the flaws of College Board's hastily made, at-home AP test. Second guest Carol Burris, Executive Director at the Network for Public Education, provides background on how schools, the College Board, and colleges fell into an unhealthy symbiosis, a relationship that she says ultimately costs children a quality education.“This brand new technology was totally buggy,” said Schaeffer of College Board's two-month-old virtual AP tests. “They never had the technology to do it in the past,” he said, but in a matter of months, the organization had produced a new product.Quite simply, the tests failed to have enough advance planning and testing to work on a variety of devices. So how did CollegeBoard get away with such a shoddy product?“There is no federal agency that regulates standardized testing,” says Schaeffer. By comparison, the federal government has systems in place to test the safety of cat food, but not on the tests that determine a child's future. Schaeffer says, “There should be a gatekeeper that makes sure that the tests that we give our kids have at least as much protection as the food we feed our pets.” Carol Burris, Executive Director at the Network for Public Education and former public school teacher, puts AP testing under the microscope. The tests, she says, are “better at measuring the wealth of community than they are the quality of the school.”The tests require a nearly $100 fee, creating a socioeconomic gap of accessibility. Beyond that, the tests rely heavily on multiple-choice and are inherently stressful for students. As colleges look highly upon AP tests, many students find themselves over-enrolled in rigorous courses their senior year, drawing away from what Burris describes as a richer educational experience.Burris says of the SAT and AP tests, “The high stakes use makes them popular...however, at the same time it's doing a real disservice to kids and to teachers and to schools that become subject to having very important decisions made about their existence based on a faulty measurement.” The President of College Board, David Coleman is reported to make a salary of over $1 million a year. That may be destined to change as College Board faces a significant revenue hit, a direct result of their AP test blunder and a nationwide trend to drop the SAT test requirement. The current developments in education post-pandemic open up a wider conversation for the future of standardized testing in public schools, and the questionable responsibility we give to the private organizations that create them.

AP vs. Dual EnrollmentHow to decide when working on your four-year plan. One major goal high school students have is to build an advanced course load in order to make themselves look more attractive to top universities they are reaching for acceptances from. In attempting to achieve this goal, students will have to choose between Advanced Placement Dual Enrollment courses. ~www.insightintodiversity.com

As the wave of school closings and event cancelations spread, many wondered what the College Board would do about this year’s Advanced Placement (AP) exams.
