Top Stories for January 29th Publish Date: January 29th PRE-ROLL: GCPS From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, January 29th and Happy birthday to Tom Selleck I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. UGA’s online degree programs rank among nation’s best Archer students walk out of school to protest ICE actions State Rep. Scott Hilton files bill to protect kindergarten 'redshirting' Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING STORY 1: UGA’s online degree programs rank among nation’s best The University of Georgia’s online programs are making waves again, landing several top-10 spots in U.S. News & World Report’s 2026 Best Online Programs rankings. UGA held strong at No. 18 overall, keeping its place among the nation’s top 20. What’s behind the rankings? The annual survey looks at things like student engagement, faculty credentials, tech, and peer reviews. And UGA? It’s shining. The numbers tell the story: UGA’s online retention ranking climbed to No. 4, and its graduation ranking jumped from No. 20 to No. 7. The Mary Frances Early College of Education continues to lead the charge, offering programs that help Georgia’s teachers grow their skills while staying in the classroom. Highlights include: No. 3 in Best Online Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction (up from No. 11) No. 3 in Educational/Instructional Media Design No. 4 in Special Education No. 6 in Educational Administration and Policy UGA’s programs for veterans also earned recognition, ranking No. 11 for making education more accessible through the GI Bill and other financial aid. The Terry College of Business wasn’t left out either—its online master’s in business and technology ranked No. 23 nationally. STORY 2: Archer students walk out of school to protest ICE actions At Archer High School, Sandra Brown-Peraza says immigrant students live with a constant, gnawing fear. Every day, stepping off campus feels like stepping into the unknown. “We’ve seen ICE waiting outside schools—places that are supposed to be safe,” she said. That fear boiled over on Tuesday when hundreds of students walked out, chanting “No more ICE.” Organizer Nehemiah Hamilton estimated 800 students braved the freezing cold to protest. The protest wasn’t just about raids—it was about lives lost. Students spoke of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, U.S. citizens killed by ICE agents in Minnesota. “They’re killing innocent people,” said Sasha Molnar. Not everyone supports the protests. U.S. Rep. Mike Collins dismissed them as “woke indoctrination,” but Hamilton fired back: “We’re not safe. We’re not backing down.” Meanwhile, Gwinnett Board Chairwoman Tarece Johnson-Morgan stood with the students, saying, “Their voices demand our empathy and care.” STORY 3: State Rep. Scott Hilton files bill to protect kindergarten 'redshirting' A new bill could give Georgia parents the final say on when their kids start kindergarten—at 5 or 6. Right now, the law says kids must be in school by 6, but it’s up to local districts to decide if a 6-year-old can start in kindergarten or must go straight to first grade. State Rep. Scott Hilton introduced House Bill 1048 to clear up the confusion. The bill comes after Gwinnett County Public Schools stirred controversy by ending its long-standing practice of allowing “redshirting,” where parents delay kindergarten until age 6. GCPS now sends all 6-year-olds straight to first grade, even if they’ve never been in a classroom. Parents pushed back hard, arguing that some kids—especially younger ones—need that extra year to mature. GCPS has hinted at a compromise, with an “expedited student support team” process to decide on a case-by-case basis if redshirted kids can go to kindergarten. But it’s no guarantee. If Hilton’s bill passes, though? That decision would be in parents’ hands, not the district’s. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We’ll be right back Break 2: KIA Mall Of Ga - GCPL Passport STORY 4: Gwinnett Stripers hiring gameday staff for 2026 The Gwinnett Stripers are gearing up for the 2026 season and looking for gameday staff to join the team.

STORY 5: Nalani Gainey reaches 2,000 career points in Seckinger victory It was a big night for Nalani Gainey—2,000 career points and counting. Oh, and Seckinger’s girls basketball team took down Chattahoochee 47-32 in Region 7-AAAAA action on Tuesday. Not a bad way to celebrate. Gainey was everywhere, racking up 24 points, five rebounds, five assists, five steals, and two blocks. The Jaguars, now 14-8 overall and 6-3 in the region, leaned on her leadership—and she delivered. Savan Johnson chipped in eight points and three boards, while Janyla Reed and Selah Wells dominated the paint with a combined 16 rebounds and four blocks. Titi Makinde added three points to round it out. GLADIATORS: The Atlanta Gladiators edged out the Orlando Solar Bears 2-1 Monday night in a gritty ECHL matchup at the Kia Center. It wasn’t pretty, but it was effective—and it keeps Atlanta rolling. Orlando struck first, capitalizing on a 5-on-3 power play midway through the first. Jack Adams buried a backdoor pass to make it 1-0, and the Solar Bears carried that lead into the second, outshooting Atlanta 9-6. But the Gladiators answered. Jack Matier ripped a power-play rocket from the point to tie it 1-1 in the second, with assists from Mike McNamee and Ryan Francis. Both teams traded chances—power plays, odd-man rushes, you name it—but the goalies stood tall. After two periods, Orlando had a 25-11 shot advantage, but the score stayed deadlocked. Then came the dagger. Early in the third, Alex Young sniped one short side off a slick feed from Isak Walther, giving Atlanta the 2-1 lead. From there, it was all about Semptimphelter, who slammed the door with 31 saves, earning his 12th win of the season. The Gladiators improved to 25-9-1, extending their point streak to five games. Next up? A three-game showdown with the Everblades in Estero. Buckle up—it’s going to be a battle. We’ll be right back.

The homeschool world can feel like the wild west… loud opinions, confident hot takes, and advice from strangers who know nothing about your kid, your goals, or your reality. In this episode, we unpack the problem with crowd-sourced homeschool advice, why confidence online is not the same thing as competence, and how fear, isolation, and misinformation leave parents second-guessing themselves. From questionable curriculum claims to panic-inducing academic myths, we talk about how to cut through the noise, identify red and green flags in homeschool guidance, and find support that's thoughtful, accountable, and actually useful… for every stage of the homeschool journey.We'd love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.

In dieser Folge widmen wir uns mal wieder dem Immunsystem der Seele und fragen uns: Wie lernen Kinder Resilienz – und wie können wir sie als Eltern dabei emotional stärken? Dabei plaudern wir natürlich brühwarm aus dem Nähkästchen. Max verrät, wie er reagiert, wenn seine Tochter mit einer Drei nach Hause kommt – und was das mit Selbstwert, innerer Sicherheit und krisenfestem Aufwachsen zu tun hat. Und Jakob schmeißt die Kuscheltiere seiner Tochter weg, entschuldigt sich dafür aber immerhin ganz brav – im Gegensatz zu Max, der seine Kinder lieber gaslighted. Aber immerhin erzieht er keinen kleinen Adrenalin-Junkie!

Il sistema scolastico italiano | Spendieren Sie einen Cafè (1€)? Donate a coffee (1€)? https://ko-fi.com/italiano Livello #A2#scuola #italia #vacanze #laurea #studiesCome funziona la scuola in Italia e quando sono le vacanze scolastiche Buongiorno cari amici e amanti dell'italiano e bentornati al nostro podcast Tulip.Buon anno nuovo e oggi si riparte con tanti nuovi episodi per il 2026.Molti miei studenti mi chiedono quando ci sono le vacanze in Italia e come queste siano collegate alla scuola e così oggi vi voglio parlare del sistema scolastico italiano.Cominciamo subito col dire che i bambini piccoli, se i genitori lavorano, vengono portati all'asilo nido, che è il posto dove possono stare i bambini piccolissimi dai tre mesi fino ai tre anni di età. A tre anni i bambini di solito vanno alla scuola materna, anche detta la scuola dell'infanzia oppure anche asilo, una parola piuttosto vecchia per descrivere il posto dove i bambini dai tre ai sei anni possono giocare, fare dei piccoli lavoretti, dormire, imparare a socializzare con altri bambini. La scuola materna, Kindergarten è gestista dallo Stato, oppure da ordini religiosi o da privati.All'età di sei anni comincia per tutti la scuola elementare che dura cinque anni. Si chiama ufficialmente la scuola primaria ma da tutti è conosciuta come scuola elementare. La parola „scuola primaria“ deriva dal francese e si è diffusa soprattutto nei paesi anglosassoni con „primary school“. Nella lingua parlata in Italia invece diciamo „scuola elementare“ perché ......- The full transcript of this Episode (and excercises for many of the grammar episodes) is available via "Luisa's learn Italian Premium", Premium is no subscription and does not incur any recurring fees.

Hey! Wir sind Max und Jakob – vielleicht kennst du uns auch als „Beste Freundinnen". In „Beste Vaterfreuden" sprechen wir aber weniger über Sex und Beziehungen, sondern über all die Freuden, Missgeschicke und Herausforderungen, die das Vatersein so mit sich bringt. Ohne Filter, humorvoll und mit viel Gefühl. Wenn du also Lust auf mehr Papa-Perspektiven hast, hör gern mal rein: Was wollten wir bei unseren wirklich Kindern anders machen als unsere Eltern? Was haben wir vielleicht unbewusst übernommen? Und was waren unsere großen Aha-Momente des Vaterseins? Max erzählt von einer Kindheit voller Regeln, die nie so richtig galten, und Jakob merkt, wie sehr sich sein Verantwortungsgefühl verändert hat, seit es seine Tochter gibt. Für den optimalen Mental-Load-Realitätscheck rufen wir bei den Müttern unserer Kinder an – und müssen bedauerlicherweise feststellen, dass unsere eigene Wahrnehmung nur so semi stimmt …

In this episode, we explore some nuanced questions about questions about balancing grit and flexibility.  Our focus through this deep dive will be important aspects of homeschooling, such as, are our kids developing the skills they'll need to successfully launch into adulthood? Does creating a customized, differentiated learning environment remove struggle and therefore minimize their ability to withstand discomfort?  We'll talk about what perseverance actually looks like in the real world - deadlines you didn't choose, unsexy responsibilities, difficult people - and examine how that intersects with highly personalized homeschooling. Along the way, we unpack when adapting and differentiating supports resilience versus when it might unintentionally reduce tolerance for discomfort, and we wrestle with the roles of neurodivergence, privilege, capitalism, and compliance in how we define “grit.” As is so often the case, we don't offer tidy answers… but we do offer honest reflection, balance, and a more nuanced way to think about preparing kids for life beyond homeschooling.We'd love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.

Was waren eigentlich die schönsten Momente, die unsere Kinder mit uns erlebt haben? Und was bleibt hängen, wenn wir an die Zeit mit unseren eigenen Eltern zurückdenken? Auffällig ist, dass viele der „krassen“, besonderen Erinnerungen oft mit unseren Vätern verknüpft sind: Abenteuer, Ausflüge, Highlights. Und das, obwohl unsere Mütter meist den Löwenanteil der alltäglichen Care-Arbeit übernommen haben. Wie kommt man aus dieser unfairen Nummer wieder raus? Wir sprechen über Dopamin-Momente, darüber, wo Kinder sich wirklich geborgen fühlen – und klären ein für alle Mal die Frage: Was zählt eigentlich als Kuschelzeit?

What if the strongest leaders in your school are already in classrooms, waiting for permission to step up?

On this episode of Trending in Ed with Mike Palmer, unlock the secrets of the reading brain and the future of educational technology in this deep dive with Dr. Ola Ozernov-Palchik. A researcher at Boston University's Wheelock College of Education and Human Development and MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research, Dr. Ola sits at the cutting edge of cognitive neuroscience and the science of reading.

In this episode of Trending in Education, Mike Palmer welcomes Andrew Sliwinski, Global Head of Product Experience for LEGO Education, on the day of a major product launch. Together, they explore the intersection of physical play and artificial intelligence, revealing how LEGO is redefining AI literacy for the next generation. Andrew shares his winding career path from tutoring in Detroit to directing Scratch at MIT and serving on the board of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The conversation dives into LEGO Education's new Computer Science and AI curriculum, a hands-on, privacy-first platform designed for students from kindergarten through eighth grade.

OPB spent over a dozen years following a group of students from Kindergarten through the end of High School in 2025. The result was an amazing body of stories of the real lives and experiences of students, teachers, and families as they negotiate our public education system. One of the questions we have now is: how do you measure the success of education? We’ve gathered a group of big thinkers for a conversation about public education – what it is designed to do, who it is for, and how it might be changing for a new generation of students. We talk to Kali Thorne Ladd, CEO of the Children’s Institute, Ann Ishimaru, professor at the University of Washington College of Education, Jeffrey McGee, Director of Education at Rosemary Anderson Prep, and Ryan Carpenter, Superintendent Of Estacada School District.

This episode is for the questions you've been carrying quietly… the ones you've been too nervous, overwhelmed, or burned before to ask out loud. We know not all online spaces are safe spaces, and fear of judgment, pile-ons, or being told your question is “dumb” can keep things bottled up. So we're opening the door and asking some of the most common homeschool questions head-on, with honesty, nuance, and zero shame. If something has been weighing on you and you've been avoiding naming it (we've been there), there's a good chance it shows up in this conversation. You're not alone and you don't have to figure this out in silence.****We'd love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.

Die Geburt eines Kindes ist einer der prägendsten Momente im Leben einer Frau. Gleichzeitig wird sie oft als blanker Horror dargestellt und ist für viele mit Unsicherheit und Angst verbunden: vor Schmerzen, vor Kontrollverlust und davor, dass etwas schiefgeht. Aber muss das wirklich so sein? Mit der Filmemacherin Judith Langasch sprechen wir darüber, wie die Entbindung auch anders erlebt werden kann. Sie verrät, was Frauen brauchen, um die Geburt als selbstbestimmt, stärkend und positiv zu erfahren – von der Vorbereitung über mentale Techniken bis hin zur Frage, welche Rolle Hebammen, Doulas und Ärzt:innen spielen sollten.

Every year more than 3 million kids march off to kindergarten, a mysterious world about which adults know very little. Research psychologist Susan Engel, who has spent a lifetime studying how children think, play and learn, set out to change that, shining a light on an experience that is nearly universal and yet little understood. Twenty-nine classrooms, thirteen states and countless tiny chairs later, Engel offers a glimpse into the reality that is American kindergarten. Surprising, concerning, funny and hopeful, Engel's depiction will forever change the way you think about the first year of school.

I'm homeschooling five kids (grades 6, 4, 2, kindergarten… plus a five-month-old baby), and I'm sharing what's actually working now that real life is in full swing. I'll walk through the "filter" I'm using for curriculum decisions, what changed between my plan from seven months ago and what we're doing now, and the biggest fixes we made (especially in math and writing). I also share what our days look like right now — the flow, the routines, and the small setup decisions that make consistency possible.

What makes a good friend? Should you be afraid of slides? Would you offer someone broccoli if they liked it?Today, we're talking about what it's like to do philosophy with–and for–children. We'll hear from experts in the field, from people who facilitate philosophical discussions with kids, and from a specialist in child development. And we'll think about questions like:What do we owe kids, when it comes to philosophical thinking?What about us grownups? Have we gotten worse at wondering? Do we owe ourselves more philosophy?And, are kids naturally philosophical?---This is the last episode of the Ethics and Education podcast, at least for now.

Es gibt Momente im Familienalltag, auf die einen kein Elternratgeber vorbereitet – zum Beispiel, wenn Kinder ihre Eltern beim Sex erwischen. In Jakobs Fall: nackt auf dem AirTrack liegend. Oder wenn sie wie bei Max auf einmal mit dem Sextoy-Adventskalender vor einem stehen und sich wundern, warum ausgerechnet der nicht gemeinsam geöffnet werden kann. Aber wie geht man mit solchen Situationen um, ohne sie größer oder kleiner zu machen, als sie sind? Wie offen sollte man sein? Was erklärt man – und was lieber nicht? Und dann hat uns noch eine Hörerinnenmail erreicht: Sie schreibt von einem Vater, der jahrelang ein Doppelleben geführt hat, einer Mutter, die daran zerbricht – und erwachsenen Kindern, die zwischen Loyalität, Schuldgefühlen und Selbstschutz feststecken. Wir sprechen darüber, ob Kinder eigentlich Partei ergreifen müssen, wo Verantwortung endet und wie man mit elterlichen Konflikten umgehen kann, ohne selbst daran kaputtzugehen.

Was ist Ihre allererste Kindheitserinnerung? Eine Szene im Kindergarten? Ein Moment mit einem Luftballon? Sicher nichts vor dem dritten Lebensjahr, denn unsere früheste Kindheit vergessen wir.

Als der SP-Politiker Simon Stocker im November 2023 für Schaffhausen in den Ständerat gewählt wurde, war das eine kleine Sensation. Er gewann gegen den parteilosen Thomas Minder, den bekannten Kopf hinter der «Abzocker-Initiative». Seinen Sieg und das neue Amt konnte er aber nicht lange auskosten. Ein halbes Jahr später gab es eine Anzeige gegen ihn. Der Vorwurf: Er habe während des Wahlkampfes nicht in Schaffhausen, sondern in Zürich gewohnt. Ein Jahr lang hat die Schweiz öffentlich über das Privatleben von Simon Stocker und seiner Frau verhandelt. Wer schläft wo? Wo geht der Sohn in den Kindergarten? Und dürfen wir das überhaupt wissen? Das Bundesgericht entschied schliesslich: Ja, wir dürfen. Und nein, er darf nicht. Simon Stocker wurde im Frühling 2025 sein Mandat entzogen. Von einem Tag auf den anderen. Zwar hat er sich im Sommer der Neuwahl gestellt. Er verlor sie aber gegen den Kandidaten der FDP.Wie geht man als Politiker und als Mensch mit so einer Niederlage um? Und wie oft denkt er noch an Bern? Darüber spricht Alt-Ständerat Simon Stocker mit «Apropos»-Host Philipp Loser und Inlandredaktorin Anja Burri. Und er erzählt, welche persönlichen Folgen die politische Niederlage mit sich brachte.Produzentin: Sara SpreiterHier geht es zum schriftlichen Interview: «Unser Familiensystem war schon immer anspruchsvoll – doch dann hinterfragte es noch die halbe Schweiz» Unser Tagi-Spezialangebot für Podcast-Hörer:innen: tagiabo.chHabt ihr Feedback, Ideen oder Kritik zu «Apropos»?

Everyone says you need endless patience to homeschool… and we're calling BS. Beyond that, in this episode, we are going to unpack where that belief comes from, who it quietly excludes, and why impatience is often a signal… not a failure. From burnout and unrealistic expectations to repair, regulation, and systems that actually work, we talk about what kids really need from the adults teaching them. Spoiler: it's not a 24/7 zen parent/caregiver… it's real humans who can adapt, reset, and keep going.Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

"I knew only darkness and stillness... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness and my heart leaped to the rapture of living." — Helen KellerSHOW NOTES EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Spirit Balance: Your "inner ear" is the key to spiritual equilibrium; if life feels shaky, recalibrate your hearing to God's frequency. The "Un-Adulting" Key: Kingdom maturity is measured by teachability. Give yourself permission to use your imagination to access the supernatural. Spirit Resonance: Trade human logic for the "Mind of Christ"—a divine algorithm that solves problems the soul cannot comprehend. Listening at a Distance: Practice trusting God's work in the unseen realm before it manifests in the physical. Choosing Your Rock: Stillness is a choice of location. Rest in the "shade" of His presence to hear what the "sun" of daily stress drowns out. Step-by-Step Grace: Lean into the Spirit as an expert system that provides clear procedures for life's most complex challenges. "Stop 'adulting' for thirty minutes and rediscover the world through the eyes of the one who holds the moon and stars for you. Today, we aren't just talking about faith—we are training your Inner Ear to catch the melodies of heaven that the noise of the world has drowned out.By joining me on this mystical forest journey, you will receive more than just a story; you'll receive a divine recalibration.

Wann hast du das letzte Mal einfach aus Neugier gehandelt, ohne Ziel, ohne Plan, einfach aus der Freude heraus? In dieser Folge der Flowgrade Show spreche ich mit Christian Wehner darüber, warum wir in einer Welt voller To-do-Listen und KPI-getriebener Selbstoptimierung oft genau das vergessen, was uns als Kind selbstverständlich war: spielen, scheitern, lernen und wieder aufstehen.Christian ist Autor des inspirierenden Buchs „Alles, was du im Leben wissen musst, hast du schon im Kindergarten gelernt“. Seine Mission: Menschen helfen, wieder mit ihrer kreativen Intuition in Kontakt zu kommen, jenseits von Perfektionismus, Erwartungsdruck und Selbstoptimierungswahn.Wir sprechen über echte Selbstverbindung, über bewusste Unplanbarkeit als kreative Superkraft und darüber, wie wir mit mehr Leichtigkeit, Spielfreude und radikaler Ehrlichkeit unser Leben neu gestalten können.Wenn du gerade auf der Suche nach mehr Tiefe, Klarheit und Menschlichkeit bist (in einer zunehmend künstlichen Welt) dann ist diese Folge wie für dich gemacht.Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!Go for Flow

This Week: One one hand, it is shocking to think about, and on the other hand it's just a continuation of America's long-standing tradition of white folks in power hurting themselves in the never ending effort to oppress others even more. The latest casualty of the anti DEI hysteria is stacking up to be men, and in particular white men. Women now occupy around 60% of all seats in college, and for many years now - in particular at the nation's most selective colleges - affirmative action efforts have been underway to ensure gender balance in the freshman class, even though vastly more women apply than men. So now, experts project that the anti DEI policies in place could result in fewer seats going to male applicants, as they are out competed by their female peers.  Plus, we dig into a fascinating story out of Log Angeles, where parents are organizing to push back against screen time. Starting in Kindergarten, students are spending hours a day on devices, leading to all kinds of concern. Distraction, cheating, mental health concerns, self esteem challenges, are just some of the problems pushing parents to resist.

“I never thought I was going to have kids here… that wouldn't have even crossed my mind.” — Claire SimpsonThis episode with Claire really opened my eyes to a side of Vietnam I've never personally experienced but have always been curious about — what it's actually like to be an expat parent here. I've interviewed entrepreneurs, creatives, teachers, founders… but motherhood is a whole different universe.There were parts of this episode that surprised me, like how many expats assume you can't buy diapers or formula here, or the fact that kindergarten can start as early as 6–9 months. And then the nanny story… wow. It's one of the wildest behind-the-scenes expat-life stories I've ever heard on the podcast.But the biggest takeaway for me is this: Vietnam can absolutely be an amazing place to raise a child — as long as you're prepared, informed, and connected.Key Talking PointsWhat maternity care in Vietnam is really like for expats — including costs, translation challenges, medical tests, and choosing the right hospital.How motherhood impacts identity abroad — from postpartum depression to losing parts of yourself to rebuilding routines and confidence.Practical realities of raising a kid in Vietnam — baby supplies, pollution, infrastructure, kindergartens, and accessing play areas.How Vietnamese culture treats children — the warmth, attention, and openness families receive everywhere they go.The truth about hiring a nanny in Vietnam — a raw story about contracts, misunderstandings, emotional conflict, and what expat parents need to know.Episode Chapters & Timestamps02:50 — Awards, Identity & Pregnancy Claire talks about influencer awards, losing parts of her identity, and finding out she was pregnant.06:30 — Navigating Healthcare & Maternity Packages We dive into hospitals, costs, tests, translators, and what the maternity journey looks like in Vietnam.12:50 — Motherhood Without Family Support The emotional and practical challenges of being an expat mum, postpartum depression, and building a “tribe.”17:45 — Raising Kids in Vietnam: Food, Formula, Kindergartens & Safety Diapers, play areas, pollution, sidewalks, cultural attitudes toward children — the full picture.28:30 — The Nanny Story: Contracts, Conflict & Lessons Learned Claire shares the dramatic and eye-opening experience of hiring a nanny and the advice she wishes she had known."Send me a message!"Support the show

Do homeschoolers really need tests and grades to prove learning is happening? In this episode, we unpack why so many parents feel pressured to measure progress the “school way,” even when it might not align with how their kids actually learn. We talk honestly about the limited role testing can play, the very real downsides of over-relying on data, and the many meaningful ways growth shows up in everyday life. Whether you're fully anti-testing, required to participate because of a charter or state rules, or just trying to unlearn old school conditioning, this episode offers reassurance, perspective, and permission to trust what you see unfolding in your own home.Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

Send us a textI'll start with a confession: I've never taught kindergarten. Honestly? I don't think I could. Kindergarten teachers bring superhuman levels of compassion, patience, and organizational magic. They teach kids how to be at school while also supporting families.Yet I support K–8 math, and as a parent of two kindergarteners, I know exactly what a Monday afternoon classroom feels like. So when a kindergarten teacher asked me to model what math could look, sound, and feel like with deeper engagement, I said yes. Today, you'll hear the case study that proves Word Problem Workshop is the solution for low-level, boring curriculum tasks.Here's the encouragement I want to leave you with: you don't need a new curriculum. You just need a routine that reveals student thinking. Word Problem Workshop does that — every single time. Even in kindergarten.So try one step next week. Launch a real problem. Give space. Let kids think. And watch what happens.

Streiten gehört im Familienalltag mal mehr, mal weniger dazu – aber damit Konflikte nicht eskalieren, braucht es ein paar einfache Regeln fürs richtige Streiten. Wir sprechen darüber, wie man Familienstreit so führt, dass am Ende niemand verletzt zurückbleibt, welche Rolle unausgesprochene Wünsche spielen und welche Themen unserer Meinung nach nichts vor Kindern zu suchen haben. Max erzählt, worüber er sich mit seinen Kindern und seiner Frau am häufigsten streitet, während sich Jakob fragt, warum es bei ihm und seiner Tochter bisher noch nie zum Streit gekommen ist – und ob das wirklich ein Zeichen von Harmonie oder eher von Konfliktvermeidung ist.
