High above Bennington, Vermont, sits a stone mansion that has been a millionaire's private castle, a Catholic seminary, a college, and even a COVID vaccination site. But through every incarnation, stories have followed it. Students at Southern Vermont College reported phantom piano music, unexplained voices, a Woman in White, and a hooded figure wandering the grounds. One security guard supposedly found a 200-pound desk pushed against the inside of a locked, empty room.Tonight, we explore the Everett Mansion—and how more than a century of changing occupants transformed one eccentric Gilded Age estate into one of Vermont's most enduring haunted houses.

As the new school year begins, we have stories from all over the country about people lurching their way through their middle school years – the years when you're figuring out so much. We go to school dances, classrooms, and down to the Mexican border.  Visit thisamericanlife.org/lifepartners to sign up for our premium subscription.(00:00:00) Prologue: Host Ira Glass interviews a 14-year-old named Annie, who emailed us asking if we would do a show about middle school. She explains why exactly the middle school years can be so daunting. (4 minutes)(00:05:42) Act One: In an effort to understand the physical and emotional changes middle school kids experience, Ira speaks with reporter Linda Perlstein, who wrote a book called Not Much Just Chillin' about a year she spent following five middle schoolers. Then we hear from producer Alex Blumberg, who was a middle school teacher in Chicago for four years before getting into radio. Alex's takeaway? We shouldn't even try teaching kids at this age. Marion Strok, principal of a successful Chicago school, disagrees. (6 minutes)(00:11:59) Act Two: We sent correspondents straight to the epicenters of middle school awkwardness: school dances. We spoke with kids across the country during the nervous moments leading up to the dances, and even ventured inside, to the dance itself. (9 minutes)(00:21:51) Act Three: When Domingo Martinez was growing up in a Mexican-American family in Texas, Domingo's two middle school-aged sisters found a unique way of coping with feelings of inferiority. (11 minutes)(00:33:40) Act Four: We realized that there are already reporters on the ground, embedded inside middle schools: the kids who report the daily announcements. Producer Jonathan Menjivar wondered what would happen if instead of announcing sports scores and the daily cafeteria menu, the kids reported what's really on their minds. Students at Parkville Middle School outside Baltimore, along with their journalism teacher Ms. Davis, agreed to try out this experiment. (7 minutes)(00:40:01) Act Five: Producer Sarah Koenig reports on a kid we'll call Leo, whose family moved away from Rochester, NY, leaving behind all of Leo's friends and stranding him in a new — and in his opinion, much worse — middle school. (10 minutes)(00:50:41) Act Six: Ira speaks with Shannon Grande, a teacher at Rise Academy in Newark, about a seventh grader who had all sorts of problems with behavior, hygiene, and schoolwork. To help turn him around, Grande had to harness the power of peer pressure for good.

We've all heard it: “My students can do the math—they just struggle with word problems.” They can perform the calculation when it's presented directly, but put that same mathematics inside a context or multi-step problem and suddenly things become much more difficult. The instinct might be to give students more word problems to practice, but what if the real challenge lies somewhere deeper? K-12 Math Leaders: Download our free Math Coherence Compass to help your teammates, system leaders, and educators create aligned instructional practices—without adding another initiative. https://makemathmoments.com/coherence-compass/Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

They explore the important difference between having strategies in your mathematical toolkit and knowing when, why, and how to choose among them. From think-alouds and metacognition to mathematical discourse and varied problem contexts, the conversation looks at how we can help students become more flexible problem solvers. It also challenges us to look beyond “students can't reason” and consider whether they have the background knowledge, task clarity, and familiarity with the context needed to demonstrate their reasoning in the first place. In this episode, you'll explore:What adaptive reasoning means within the five strands of mathematical proficiencyWhy knowing how to use a strategy is different from knowing when to choose itHow think-alouds can make mathematical decision-making visible to studentsWhy reflection and metacognition matter when students solve unfamiliar problemsHow mathematical discourse supports adaptive reasoningThree conditions to consider before concluding that students are struggling with reasoningWhy background knowledge and meaningful, familiar contexts matter in problem solvingHow strengthening our own mathematical proficiency can better position us to support studentsIf your students can complete straightforward calculations but struggle when mathematics appears in unfamiliar or multi-step problems, this episode offers a different place to look. Rather than simply adding more practice, consider what opportunities students have to choose strategies, explain those choices, reflect on their thinking, and strengthen the adaptive reasoning that helps weave mathematical proficiency together.Show Notes PageLove the show?

This episode reveals a creative exploration of the acronym A.I. The students came out with different alternatives that embody the acronym with a new fresher meaning. A conceptual hacking of an apparent stated and established concept. This is the first of multiple episodes exploring A.I. during the 2026 Summer Program of Marwen at Chicago. Students explore, talk, discussed and learned first hand from experts and people involved in this growing industry and how is affecting everyone, both positively and negatively.

We explore how conservative Christian women have become influential organisers, campaigners and political actors in the United States. Drawing on a decade of ethnographic research and her new book Esther's Army, Dr Katie Gaddini challenges assumptions that women in right-wing movements are politically passive, instead revealing the diverse ways they organise, mobilise and influence political life.We hear how ideas around motherhood, protection and empowerment have become powerful political tools, and considers what these developments can tell us about the future of political mobilisation both in the US and beyond.The episode examines what these trends mean for policymakers, educators and anyone seeking to understand an increasingly polarised political landscape.Full show notes and links: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/2026/sep/women-reshaping-conservative-politics-america-research-real-world More Research for the Real World: https://uclioe.info/rftrwMore IOE Insights podcasts: https://uclioe.info/podcastUCL Institute of Education: https://ucl.ac.uk/ioePhoto: Gage Skidmore (CC BY-SA 4.0)

North West school principal Sam Lupuwana recently informed students and parents about his decision to cancel his school's matric farewell dance this year. Lupuwana's decision comes after matric students performed poorly academically at Milner High School in Klerksdorp. Lupuwana described the pupils' performance as “critically concerning” and called them “arguably the most disappointing group of Grade 12s” after 72 of the 186 matric pupils failed the Term 2 exams.

Before we decide that 55,000 students are not ready for SHS, shouldn't we first ask whether every child has had the same quality of education and learning opportunities across Ghana? With thousands of BECE candidates left out of SHS placement after failing either English Language or Mathematics, concerns are growing over whether the decision takes into account the different educational realities across the country.

Monique and Kevin respond to educator Darius Cooks' viral video about high school seniors who cannot read or write a simple sentence. They argue the core problem is not funding or “systemic racism,” but culture. Many students lack the desire to care, homes often provide little accountability. Drawing on sociologist, John Ogbu's work and a Texas report on F-rated majority-Black schools, they discuss parental responsibility, school choice over “representation,” homeschooling and church-based alternatives, and the need to give young people vision, agency, and a foundation in being made in God's image.

True North tells the story of the 1969 protest against racism at Sir George Williams University, now Concordia. Following the occupation of the university, 97 students were arrested or faced deportation. The film includes recent interviews with activists who were involved in the uprising. In making the documentary, director Michèle Stephenson draws on her Haitian and Panamanian heritage, and experience as a social justice lawyer. We speak with Michèle Stephenson in this episode.

Students are heading back to school around the country. Is AI going to be there waiting for them? Many teachers and school boards are looking for ways to incorporate artificial intelligence into what they do -- we'll hear from a university professor who has made an AI-version of himself to respond to questions when he's not around. In other places, like New York City, AI is being banned for most students. We'll hear from parents, students and teachers about where they stand on AI in the classroom.

Today, John Norlin and Houston Kraft mark the launch of Season 9 of the CharacterStrong Podcast by digging into a framework that was unpacked this summer around what it actually takes to cultivate the conditions where students and adults can thrive. They also reflect on what nine seasons of conversations with educators have made clear, that the leaders who create lasting change share three consistent traits: they are passionate about the work, they build systems rather than chase goals, and they stay with it long after the initial energy fades. In this conversation, John and Houston offer important reminders for educators and leaders: Before adding anything new, leaders have to ask what needs to be removed first. Invasive ideas and programs crowd out the things that are actually meant to thrive. Preparation precedes growth. Watering the soil before planting, building belonging and culture before instruction begins, changes what is possible once the work starts. The initiatives worth investing in are the ones that give back as much as they take. If something only costs the people doing it, it will not last. Passion, systems, and persistence are the through line across nine seasons of educators doing work that matters. Goals without systems and staying power rarely move the needle.

Another fun-filled episode of Nerds Talking is here, and this time the boys are bringing you entertainment news, laughs, nostalgia, and one very unexpected language lesson!We kick things off with the latest entertainment news, before diving into our review of Coyote vs. Acme, the long-awaited Looney Tunes live-action/animation comedy starring Will Forte, John Cena, Lana Condor, Tone Bell, P.J. Byrne, Martha Kelly, and Luis Guzmán, with legendary Looney Tunes voices including Eric Bauza.But here's the big question: Is Coyote vs. Acme REALLY as good as Rotten Tomatoes says it is, or is everyone just trolling Warner Bros. for shelving the movie before it eventually found a new home?With Rotten Tomatoes currently giving the movie a 96% Tomatometer score and a 95% audience score, the stakes are high! The Nerds have watched it, we've got opinions, and we're ready to tell you whether this Wile E. Coyote comeback is worth your time—or whether ACME should have left this one in the warehouse!And then things take a hilarious and VERY unexpected turn when Carlos discovers something about the students at his middle school. He always thought they were simply saying hello to him in their native tongue… but what if they weren't saying hello at all?!

In Episode 220 of the Equipping ELLs podcast, Beth Vaucher opens with a scene that shifts everything — an invitation to imagine being an ELL parent walking into a parent-teacher conference in a language you do not speak, catching only a few words, and leaving without knowing whether your child is okay or what you were supposed to do differently. That scene, she says, changes everything about how you approach parent communication. Today's episode is about building real trust with ELL families — across language, culture, and all the complexity that comes with it.Beth opens by naming the three layers of complexity that make ELL parent communication uniquely different. Language is the most obvious — what takes two minutes with a fluent family might take twenty minutes or simply not happen at all. But culture shapes how families understand the teacher's role and the parent's role in education, and those norms vary enormously. In some cultures a parent questioning a teacher is disrespectful. In others, parents expect deep involvement and feel hurt when it is not happening. And then there is trust — families who have very good reasons to be cautious about institutions because of immigration status, past trauma, or difficult experiences with authority. A parent who does not respond to outreach is not necessarily disengaged. They may be working three jobs, afraid, or simply unable to navigate the system.Cultural humility is the mindset Beth names before any practical strategy. Cultural humility is different from cultural competence. Cultural competence suggests you can learn enough to be proficient in another culture. Cultural humility says: I do not know everything about this family's experience and I come to this relationship as a learner as much as an expert. Beth shares her own early assumptions about parents who did not show up and how they shifted when she began getting curious — asking, listening, learning — and especially after living in Panama where she saw firsthand how different education looks in other countries and how much grace ELL families deserve for navigating systems nothing in their background prepared them for.The episode's core message: stop waiting for parents to come to you. Start going to them. Five proactive strategies follow. Learn a few words in the family's home language — even an imperfect attempt communicates something a formal letter cannot. Use translation apps like TalkingPoints as a bridge for casual warm frequent check-ins, not just formal communication — a voice message saying your son tried something new today and I was proud of him crosses the language barrier in seconds. Send visible artifacts before written communication — photos of students working, writing samples from September next to December, things parents can see without needing an interpreter to feel proud. Introduce yourself before anything is expected of a family — be a person first, not a form requirer. And lower the threshold for connection — a wave at drop-off, a thumbs up through the classroom window, a sticky note in a folder. Small consistent signals that say this child is welcome here build trust that a formal conference alone never could.Three practical communication modes are covered: written translation tools for routine communication like TalkingPoints or Google Translate, with the important note that anything related to special education, legal rights, or discipline should always be reviewed by a qualified bilingual person before going home. Interpreter-supported conversations for any meaningful discussion — and a direct and firm statement that students should never be used as interpreters for conversations about themselves. And the informal check-in — the most casual and sometimes most powerful mode.The episode closes with the research on home language as an asset: students with a strong foundation in their home language acquire English faster. When parents ask whether to stop speaking their language at home, the answer is an unqualified no. Keep it alive. That is not competing with English acquisition — it is accelerating it.

Industrial Talk is onsite at Penn State and talking to Andy Bomberger with Penn State University METAL Program about "Hands on manufacturing and foundry experience". Overview Metal exposes students to foundry work and broader manufacturing through a week-long, hands-on program. Program Purpose Andyhelped developMETAL'scurriculum, coursework, and practical exercises throughPenn State.The program combines classroom concepts with foundry visits, casting activities, safety instruction, data collection, and cost calculations.Industry partners provide practical expertise and safe environments for students working with molten metal and casting processes. Industry Pathways Andy described nearly 29 years in foundry engineering, including work with steel, ceramics, polymers, machining, casting, and roughly 150–200 alloys.Foundries must adapt to offshoring, changing customer needs, fluctuating alloy costs, and strict quality-control requirements.The program has generated genuine student interest, but what percentage of participants pursue manufacturing careers?Andy's consulting business,Bomberger Industry Graphics, provides casting design, consulting, 3D modeling, and 3D printing. Outline METAL Program Curriculum development throughPenn State.Week-long boot camp combining academic instruction and hands-on manufacturing experience.Industry partners support safe, practical learning. Foundry Experience Andy began foundry work after completing an industrial and manufacturing engineering degree.His experience includes job-shop production, custom alloys, casting design, and quality control.Process discipline replaced the traditional “black art” approach to foundry work. Student Learning Students made castings, measured and weighed components, and calculated production costs.The program introduces manufacturing career opportunities to high school and early college students.Students may apply foundry concepts across machining, robotics, injection molding, and other manufacturing disciplines. Future Direction Metalcould expand its outreach to later high school and early college audiences.Andy's son attended a boot camp and is beginning engineering studies atPenn State.

What if an extra bedroom could make housing more affordable for a student while helping an older adult stay in their home? Alison Donnally founded Joey Co. to pair students looking for housing with older adults who have space to spare and could use help with everyday tasks. Students pay rent, earn money back through agreed-upon work, and gain a different kind of connection to the community around them. Donnally talks about what makes these matches work, why home sharing is still unusual in the U.S., and what this model reveals about how many housing options we've left off the table.

Geoscience needs more people who can solve problems across energy, water, climate, critical minerals, and the subsurface, yet departments are losing students, funding, and in some cases the field experiences that help build strong geologists. Esther Oyedele and Dolores van der Kolk discuss what they heard across IMAGE about that disconnect and why solving it will take more than recruitment. Students need to see a wider range of geoscience careers, universities need flexibility without weakening the fundamentals, and industry and professional societies need to help support the training, field work, and access that make those careers possible. The workforce problem is visible. Many of the solutions are visible too. The question is whether the geoscience community is willing to support them.

On this special episode of the Mile High Podcast, you'll hear a recording of Dr. Richelle Knowles' presentation from the Mile High stage, sharing a timely message about leadership, stewardship, and the future of Chiropractic. This episode comes directly from Mile High, allowing you to experience a powerful presentation from the event wherever you are. Dr. Richelle challenges you to look beyond titles, positions, stages, and recognition and consider a more meaningful measure of leadership: What became better because you were willing to serve? Chiropractic has been entrusted to each generation. Your practice, your team, your community, and the profession itself give you opportunities to lead through your choices and your service. In this special episode, you'll hear: Why leadership starts with stewardship How you can lead without a title or position Why principle matters more than convenience How courage and compassion can exist together What the next generation of chiropractors needs from today's leaders Why mentorship plays such an important role in Chiropractic's future How your everyday decisions can strengthen the profession What it truly means to rise when Chiropractic faces a pivotal moment One of the strongest messages from Dr. Richelle is directed toward both established doctors and students. Students are encouraged to ask hard questions, study the philosophy and science, master the art, find mentors, learn Chiropractic history, and then make the profession even stronger. Experienced chiropractors are called to make room, mentor, open doors, and develop more leaders. And that brings the message back to rising. Rising means leading your practice with integrity. It means paying attention beyond your four walls. It means getting involved, mentoring, asking questions, supporting what aligns with your values, and putting your resources behind what matters to you.

“I wanted to come back to the city that raised me.” Jasmine Brooks' commitment to Detroit students is rooted in a life shaped by family, faith, education, dance, and service. Raised near Aretha Franklin's childhood home, nurtured at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church, educated at Renaissance High School, the University of Michigan, and Wayne State, Jasmine traces how Detroit institutions and Black community traditions prepared her to pour into another generation. As a child, Jasmine was introduced to dance and taught by legends like Penny Godboldo (RIP) and Gina Ellis. That foundation in creativity—and in learning how to find her place and space on stage, in rhythm—helped prepare her to navigate the many paths toward success. Today, her connection with the students of Graduate313 brings that journey full circle. “It's an opportunity to learn even more about myself and what my future self is looking to get into,” she says of what young people should experience through Graduate313. Her vision reaches beyond college admission toward “their upward mobility for life.” Listen for a Detroit story about what happens when the people who were poured into decide to become somebody else's bridge.

Ginny Yurich sits down with Tamara Neufeld Strijack, co-author of Reclaiming Our Students, for a powerful conversation about what children need to thrive in a world increasingly dominated by screens, schedules, and peer influence. Tamara explains why children are meant to orient around caring adults—and how strong relationships with parents, teachers, and mentors create the safety children need to learn, grow, and become themselves. They explore the essential role of play, nature, movement, and the arts as “emotional playgrounds”—places where frustration, anxiety, and other emotions can safely move through rather than erupt as aggression. Tamara also unpacks the powerful shift from “mad to sad,” explaining why allowing children to experience disappointment and tears is actually part of developing resilience. Plus, Ginny and Tamara discuss “collecting”—the simple practice of intentionally welcoming children back into relationship—and why feeling seen, enjoyed, and cared for can transform homes and classrooms. It's a hopeful, practical conversation about slowing down, reconnecting, and making room for the experiences children were designed to have.

A Quick Note to Listeners: Before each week’s interview, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke spend some time answering a listener question. This week’s question is: What advice would a teacher want to give to a new principal? Listen in to hear their response! Meet Tyler Watkins: Tyler Watkins, Ed.D., is the principal of Petal High School, one of Mississippi's top-rated high schools and a 2022 National Blue Ribbon School. He began his career in 2011 as a teacher and baseball coach before moving into school leadership. His work centers on building belonging, creating predictable systems, and leading through stability. Dr. Watkins earned his doctorate in Educational Leadership from William Carey University, where his research focused on the academic effects of student transiency. He lives in Petal, Mississippi, with his wife, Katie, and their children, Lowe and Cohen. He is the author of Rooted Leadership in a Mobile World: Belonging, Predictability, and Purpose When Students Come and Go, scheduled for release in Fall 2026. Why This Work Matters: Dr. Watkins' passion for this topic didn't begin with theory. It began with what he was seeing every day. Students were constantly entering and leaving his school, and even in a high performing system, each new student was starting over. That led him to ask a deeper question, what are we doing to make students feel rooted, even when their lives are not. In today's landscape of school choice and increased mobility, this isn't a niche issue. It is everywhere. Whether a school is high performing or struggling, students are navigating transitions, and schools must be ready to respond. It's Not Just Academic, It's Human: One of the biggest shifts Dr. Watkins describes is recognizing that student mobility is not just an academic issue, it is a human one. New students are not simply catching up on content. They are trying to understand new teachers, new systems, and new social environments, often while carrying emotional weight from their transitions. Too often, schools focus first on academics. But Dr. Watkins emphasizes that stability has to be intentionally designed, not assumed. Start with the First 10 Days: At its most practical level, Dr. Watkins encourages leaders to focus on the first 10 days of a student's experience. Every new student should have a clear plan, not just a schedule. That plan should include intentional check ins, clear expectations, and a structured way to help them navigate the building. Without this, students are often left to figure things out on their own, which increases stress and disconnect. Every Student Needs an Adult Connection: Along with a clear plan, every student needs an immediate connection with a trusted adult. At Petal High School, Dr. Watkins and his team assign students to an administrator and counselor by alphabet, and they meet them right away. It is simple, but it matters. Students need to know someone knows their name, where to find them, and how to reach out when they need help. That connection is often the difference between feeling lost and feeling grounded. Consistency Reduces Stress: Another key insight Dr. Watkins shares is the importance of consistency across classrooms. It is overwhelming for students, especially new ones, to relearn expectations from class to class. Schools must align expectations so students can focus on learning rather than constantly adjusting to different systems. Clarity and consistency do not just support behavior, they create stability. Communicate Early with Families: Dr. Watkins also highlights the power of early communication with families. A simple message home letting a parent know their child had a great day can immediately build trust and connection. These small moments send a clear message, your child matters here, and we are paying attention. High Expectations with High Support: A common misconception is that schools must choose between being welcoming and maintaining high expectations. Dr. Watkins challenges that thinking. You do not lower expectations for new students, you increase support. You teach the systems, clarify confusion quickly, and give students the tools they need to succeed. Confusion should not be punished, it should be addressed with clarity. Leadership Sets the Tone: This work does not happen by accident. It is a leadership responsibility. Dr. Watkins emphasizes that leaders must design systems that create predictability and ensure consistency across the school. Teacher attitudes toward new students are critical. When staff see new students as opportunities instead of interruptions, it changes everything. Leaders set that tone through clarity, communication, and example. From Classroom to Campus Leadership: Reflecting on his own journey, Dr. Watkins describes a shift many leaders experience. As a teacher, the focus is on running a great classroom. As a principal, the focus becomes building a school where every classroom reflects that same level of excellence. For new leaders, he offers practical advice. Set clear expectations, follow through consistently, protect instructional time, and keep systems stable. These foundational practices create the environment where both students and staff can thrive. Belonging, Predictability, and Purpose: At the heart of this conversation are three essential elements, belonging, predictability, and purpose. Dr. Watkins emphasizes that students need to feel known. They need systems they can rely on. And they need to understand that what they are doing matters. When those elements are in place, students can succeed, even in the middle of constant change. What Students Need to Succeed: Drawing from Ruby Payne's research on under resourced learners, there are key resources every student needs in order to thrive in school. Financial resources Emotional stability and self regulation Mental and academic skills A sense of purpose or direction Physical health Support systems such as family, friends, and trusted adults Motivation, persistence, and grit Knowledge of hidden rules, expectations, and social cues within a school For students who are constantly moving, many of these supports are disrupted. That is why schools must intentionally step in to provide them. Final Thoughts: Dr. Watkins leaves us with a reminder that is both simple and powerful. Students do not need perfect schools, they need stable ones. And that is something every leader can influence.

The FBI pushed back against reports that agents had briefly lost track of Bryan Kohberger while surveilling him during his cross-country drive from Washington to Pennsylvania in December 2022. According to the bureau, the claim was inaccurate and there had been no lapse in surveillance before Kohberger was arrested at his parents' home on December 30. The denial came amid continuing scrutiny of how investigators tracked Kohberger after identifying him as a person of interest in the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. At the same time, more details were emerging about Kohberger's behavior before the murders, including accounts from University of Idaho students who said they had seen him on the Moscow campus and remembered him staring at people in ways they found unsettling.The report also highlighted how the investigation was expanding beyond the evidence already disclosed in the probable-cause affidavit. Students and acquaintances described Kohberger as socially awkward and, in some cases, intense in his interactions, while investigators continued reviewing his movements, digital activity and possible connections to the victims or their surroundings. None of those campus sightings established that Kohberger had anything to do with the murders, but they added another layer to the growing effort to reconstruct where he had been, whom he had encountered and how familiar he may have been with Moscow before November 13, 2022. The FBI's denial about losing him during surveillance was significant because it directly challenged one of the more dramatic claims circulating about the manhunt and reinforced the broader message from authorities that many details being reported publicly were either incomplete or incorrect.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Across the country, high school teachers are rethinking how to assess students – and make sure those students aren't cheating. Artificial intelligence programs have forced teachers to reconsider grading and testing. Some are asking students to do all of their scored work in person, by hand. Others are leaning on participation grades. We talk to local teachers about how they're handling the challenge. Our guests: George Goga, teacher at Geneva High School and adjunct professor of English and education at SUNY Geneseo Lily Tym, teaching assistant at Geneva High School Julie Kopp, curriculum and assessment coach at Brighton Central School District

Minnesota students may be exploring new questions in school this year about how to ask for mental health support and show up for friends who are struggling. Beginning this fall, the state requires Minnesota schools to provide mental health instruction for students, from fourth grade through senior year. The Minnesota Department of Education and Minnesota's branch of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) have co-developed guidance to help schools implement the new requirement. NAMI Minnesota Executive Director Marcus Schmit joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about what the new approach to mental health education could look like.

Some students are heading back to school, including in Fridley, where the school district saw major disruptions last school year due to Operation Metro Surge. We heard how the district is welcoming everyone back on the first day of school. Students across the state will now be required to learn about mental health. We learned about the new state standards. Plus, have you opened up your electricity bill this summer to see your payment has surged? We broke down what's behind the increase.

Episode Summary:Is public education really neutral? I think we all know the answer to that question now.Emmy and Dove Award-winning filmmaker Nate Lundquist, creator of the documentary Off School Property, joins us to challenge the myth of neutrality in public education and reveal a path to put the Bible back in front of public school students across America.Every education system teaches a worldview. Students are being taught answers to life's biggest questions about truth, meaning, morality, human identity, and freedom, whether we recognize it or not.We explore how secularism has shaped American public schools, the difference between science and scientism, the Bible's influence on Western civilization, and why a biblical worldview provides the foundation for human dignity, equality, freedom, and progress that our culture often takes for granted.Then we turn to a fascinating movement happening in public education today that you need to know about: LifeWise Academy. Nate explains how released-time religious instruction allows students to receive Bible education during the public school day as long as it takes place off school property, is privately funded, and has parental permission.Listen in and discover how you can help put biblical education back within reach of public school students across America.Who is the Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

The Department of Justice has sued Washington State for handing undocumented immigrants in-state tuition rates and financial aid at public universities — while American citizens from out of state pay full price. UW, Washington State University, and Western Washington University are all named as defendants in the federal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle.Washington has been running this policy for decades. Students in the country illegally get resident pricing and grants that a U.S. citizen from California or Idaho simply cannot access. Sean breaks down the numbers — the gap between in-state and out-of-state rates at UW and Western is substantial — and why this isn't just unfair policy. It's a direct violation of federal law, and 21 other states are watching how Washington tries to defend it.The state AG is already calling it politically motivated. Sean isn't buying it. Federal law supersedes state law, full stop. Washington didn't carve out a moral exception — it decided the rules didn't apply up in the upper-left corner of the map. The DOJ is here to correct that assumption.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode.#NFRP #WashingtonState #DOJGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just said the part Canada does not want on loop: You cannot be in a tit for tat with a country 13 times larger than you are. Watch the clip. Then watch what he said next. On CNBC from the G20 in Asheville, Bessent was asked if America is now in a trade war with Canada. He waved it off. Mark Carney, he said, turned a deal into a political shouting match because it helps Carney and the Liberal Party — not Canadian workers. The United States offered what Bessent called the best trade deal of any country on the globe. Carney walked away at the last minute. Now Ottawa wants to talk toughness while sitting next to an economy an order of magnitude bigger. “We're not at war with Canada. How are we going to be at war with Canada? What, are they going to take their two submarines from the Edmonton Mall and sic them on us?” Pat also covered:  It's SEPTEMBER!

[00:30] Degrading Education (55 minutes) Educators are trying to solve problems in schools by paying students for attending classes and allowing them to pass with failing grades. A fatherly teaching mindset with consequences for misbehavior and laziness is completely missing in America's school system.

How does a nuclear energy startup with roughly a million dollars in revenue become an $8 billion publicly traded company sitting on $3 billion in cash? In this episode of Business For Good, Paul Shapiro sits down with Caroline DeWitte, Co-founder and COO of Oklo, to find out what investors are betting on and why the company believes it can deliver.   Oklo is building compact nuclear powerhouses that use fast neutrons to extract up to 95 percent of the energy in nuclear fuel, compared to roughly five percent in conventional reactors. The company plans to run its first plants on recycled fuel from a reactor that operated from the 1960s through the 1990s, turning what most people consider nuclear waste into a viable energy source. DeWitte explains how the system shuts itself down through natural physics if something goes wrong, eliminating the need for the layers of backup systems that drive up costs in traditional nuclear plants.   The conversation traces Oklo's evolution from a one-megawatt micro-reactor concept to 75-megawatt powerhouses designed for data centers and utilities. DeWitte discusses how Sam Altman became an early backer and longtime board chair, why the company chose to go public through a SPAC during what she calls the doldrums after the SPAC rush, and how President Trump's reactor pilot program allowed Oklo to begin construction under an accelerated Department of Energy pathway.   Things You Will Learn: How fast reactors can recover up to 95 percent of the energy in nuclear fuel, compared to roughly five percent in conventional water-cooled reactors. Why Oklo's reactor design shuts itself down through natural physics without any human intervention. How the company went from a grad school idea to an $8 billion publicly traded company backed by Sam Altman. Why President Trump's reactor pilot program dramatically accelerated Oklo's construction timeline. How Oklo brought a reactor from a greenfield site to nuclear criticality in under a year.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Fast Reactor Technology: A nuclear reactor design using fast neutrons and liquid sodium cooling that can fission elements conventional reactors cannot, enabling fuel recycling and dramatically higher energy extraction from uranium. Nuclear Fuel Recycling: A process for reprocessing spent nuclear fuel so that up to 95 percent of its energy content can be used, reducing the volume and half-life of remaining waste from thousands of years to a few hundred. Reactor Pilot Program (DOE Pathway): A federal framework allowing the Department of Energy to work with the NRC on reactor reviews and permit early construction, significantly compressing deployment timelines for advanced nuclear companies.   #NuclearEnergy #AdvancedNuclear #CleanEnergy #NuclearInnovation #EnergyInfrastructure #Oklo #BusinessForGood
