The Dáil has risen for its summer recess, bringing to a close a politically eventful first half of the year.     From the ongoing housing crisis and rising living costs to renewed controversy over the National Children's Hospital, fuel protests and heated exchanges across the floor of the Dáil, the Government and Opposition remain sharply divided on the country's direction.     So, at the halfway point of this Government's term, is Ireland seeing real progress, or are the biggest challenges still unresolved?     Joining Alan Morrissey to discuss the Government's report card and what's in store when the Dáil returns in September were Minister of State Timmy Dooley of Fianna Fáil and Shannon Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan.

And where might chronic absenteeism rates end up when […]

Our Family Report Card by CityLight Church

We are kicking off week two of our summer series, Let's Be Honest, a thoughtful, humble exploration of what it truly means to navigate faith, culture, and big intellectual questions in today's world. Host Matt Summers sits down with Menlo Church Lead Pastor Phil EuBank to take an honest, respectful look at Islam. Together, they discuss the critical importance of engaging with other worldviews on their own terms—seeking to understand the strongest, most intelligent form of what another faith actually teaches rather than knocking down weak, uncharitable caricatures. Phil pulls back the curtain on his own inbox to share the raw, tension-filled feedback he receives from both sides of the conversation, using it to highlight how difficult yet vital it is to thread the needle of truth and love in our local communities. The conversation dives deep into the heart of the weekend message, contrasting two fundamentally different documents: the "report card" of performance versus the "birth certificate" of identity. While the five pillars of Islam demand an admirable, rigorous level of human effort, discipline, and devotion, they ultimately leave even their greatest prophets facing a ledger of profound spiritual uncertainty. Matt and Phil explore how the radical promise of Jesus completely upends the scales of behavior modification. Instead of offering a manual or an oppressive checklist to measure up, the Gospel offers an invitation to abide daily in a living relationship with a Savior who already overcame the grave to secure who we are.

Join Phil and PK as they go through the slow start to Free Agency for the Sabres and a goodbye to a once thought of savior of the Franchise (9:56). We then head back to the classroom once again for Ottawa (19:02), Philly (35:02), Rochester (47:02) and San Diego (1:00:36).

Send us Fan MailYour body is not a problem to manage, and your mind is not here to run the show. We take on one of the most persistent spiritual myths: that if you just think “right” you can control habits, health, and outcomes. From an A Course in Miracles perspective, we explore why that control project quietly reinforces guilt and fear, and why the mind's real purpose is healing that restores joy now.We get practical and personal about habits, cravings, and self-judgment, including what happens when you stop treating the body like a spiritual report card. We talk about the “framework” of the world where cause and effect seems to operate, why denying those effects creates more conflict, and how discipline can become a subtle form of punishment. The shift is simple but radical: joy is the measure of awakening, not a perfect routine, a perfect diet, or a perfect-looking body.Then we open up into bigger questions about reincarnation, stories, and the fear of the void, plus everyday issues like money anxiety, scarcity mindset, and discernment around spiritual teachers who sell worldly success as enlightenment. The through-line stays the same: peace comes first, and when we choose love over fear, form can change without becoming our focus.If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend who is hard on themselves, and leave a review. What is one place in your life where you are ready to choose peace over control?Support the show

Charlie tells us how he felt seeing the Mariners come home and beat the Angels in game one of a three game series, what he thought of George Kirby’s outing, how Cole Young has adjusted to major league pitching this season compared to last season, and if there any moves the Mariners have made that have backfired. // There were zero Mariners that made it to the final voting for the All-Star game starters, the guys talk about if they are surprised about this and if there is anyone they think should have been voted in. // Charlie gives us his Mariners midseason report card! 

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley gives his report card for the club. This show is presented by FanDuel. What grade did the struggling rotation led by Paul Skenes, Mitch Keller, Braxton Ashcraft, Bubba Chandler and Jared Jones receiver? Did manager Don Kelly's bullpen show any meaningful improvement? Or did it lose ground? Has Endy Rodriguez seized the starting catching job for good? What did infielders including Brandon Lowe, Ryan O'Hearn and Spencer Horwitz show? And how did Bryan Reynolds and the outfield group grade out amid an injury to Oneil Cruz? Colin tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Finance Minister believes all signs are pointing to economic growth this year. The International Monetary Fund's recommending the country continue to hike taxes and make spending cuts. It predicts the economy will grow by 2% throughout this year, rising to 2.7% next year. Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking the IMF's quite optimistic about our growth this year, and she believes the economy's ready to bounce back. She says they see it starting to recover after a difficult few months, and all of the bank economists agree. The IMF's also broadly happy with the Government's targeted response to the oil price shock. It believes the annual inflation rate will peak at 4% within the next few months thanks to high oil prices, before dropping back. Willis told Hosking inflation would've been a huge problem if the Government unfurled the money hose like a lot of people wanted. She says there was a lot of talk about cutting petrol tax, and giving people extra cash in their back pocket. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your P&L is not a monthly report card.It is where your bar shows you what is getting expensive.Most owners look at net profit and think they understand the month.They do not. Net profit tells you the result.It does not tell you where the problem started.In this episode, I break down how to read your P&L like an operator, including prime cost, gross profit, net profit, operating expenses, and the timing issues that make your numbers confusing.Because strong sales do not always mean a healthy bar.And if you only check the numbers after the month ends, you are already late.Your P&L should not just tell you what happened.It should show you what to fix next.

The Pittsburgh Pirates reached the halfway point at 41-40 and remain firmly in the National League Wild Card race, but their midseason report card is all over the place. Jim and Tyler grade every position group, the coaching staff and Ben Cherington's front office. The outfield and revamped infield have carried the offense, while the bullpen, designated hitter spot and Marcell Ozuna signing receive failing grades. Alex Stumpf also joins the show to explain why the Pirates have been one of MLB's worst teams at using ABS challenges.

Keir Starmer has resigned so for this edition of Points of View, we examine Labour's record on education after two years in government. When Labour came to power, it promised to recruit more teachers, tackle the SEND crisis, improve attendance, reform Ofsted, raise standards and restore confidence in the education system. But how much progress has actually been made? Have teachers noticed meaningful change in their classrooms? Are schools better funded? Has workload improved? What has happened to behaviour, attendance and recruitment? And have Labour's policies addressed the challenges facing pupils with special educational needs and disabilities? Join us as we assess the government's education record, explore the successes and failures of the past two years, and ask whether Labour has delivered on its promises to schools, teachers, parents and pupils. On the panel are four current UK teachers - Liz Webb, Rachel Gilyeat, Maud Waret and making his POV debut - Ollie Bayliss.

“Send us a Hey Now!”School's out for summer, which means it's time for the Dirty Side Podcast End of Spring Report Card!With the Formula 1 season approaching the halfway point, we hand out grades across the paddock and take a look at who has exceeded expectations, who needs summer school, and which teams might be heading for detention before the championship battle reaches its conclusion.We break down the biggest winners and losers from the season so far, discuss surprise performances, championship contenders, underachievers, rookie impressions, team progress, and the storylines that have defined the first part of the 2026 Formula 1 season.Who earns an A+? Who barely scrapes a pass? And which teams are staring at a report card they'd rather keep hidden from their parents?As always, we share our honest fan perspective on everything happening across Formula 1.

Just like the 8th grade delinquent that tries to forge his own report card, Eric Barlow has created his own Republican Party Platform Scorecard.  It appears to show he follows the platform 100% of the time--until you actually read it.  What it does say is that on 83 out of 5,815 bills he's followed the platform. When you look at his actual voting record it's, not surprisingly, the opposite of what he's claiming. There's numerous votes against the platform.  But he's asking you to believe the opposite.

Host Tara uncovers the reality behind the mainstream media's latest selective editing, breaking down Donald Trump's "I Love Inflation" comments and the context the networks left out. Analyzing the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) numbers at 4.2%, Tara reveals that 60% of current inflation is driven purely by energy prices tied to the ongoing conflict with Iran.

Education games are in the classroom. How do they work and what do parents and kids think?

According to the National Literacy Institute, nearly 40% of American students are not reading at a basic proficiency level, while more than one in four adults possess literacy skills at or below a basic level. Combined with post-pandemic learning loss, these statistics highlight the urgent need for innovative, evidence-based approaches to education. Recent results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), often referred to as The Nation's Report Card, show that reading achievement continues to decline nationwide, with average reading scores for both 4th and 8th-grade students falling between 2022 and 2024. These trends have educators, families, and policymakers searching for solutions that can help students succeed in an increasingly complex world. My guest today is Justin Hassan, Director of Curriculum and Instruction for Uplift Education, the largest free public charter school network in North Texas. Serving more than 23,000 students across 20 campuses in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Uplift Education has built a reputation for academic excellence, with 100% of its graduates earning acceptance to college. Justin is passionate about improving student outcomes and ensuring access to high-quality education for all learners. Throughout his career, he has helped increase the percentage of students performing at grade level by 18% and improved student performance on nationally normed literacy assessments by 9% year over year. His work is grounded in research-based instructional practices and a commitment to educational equity. In this conversation, Justin and I discuss the state of literacy in America, the challenges facing today's students and educators, the role of curriculum and instruction in improving outcomes, and what it truly means to provide every child with a modern, meaningful, and equitable education. We also explore how schools can foster a lifelong love of learning while preparing students for success in college, careers, and an ever-changing global marketplace.   For more information: https://uplifteducation.org/ Email: juhassan@uplifteducation.org LinkedIn: @JustinHassan   Learn more about your ad choices.

But according to a new paper, Harvard's new policy—and grade caps in general—are not the right solution. In What Does a Grade Mean? Informativeness and Strategic Manipulation of Grading Systems, Scott […]
