MSDE's Strategic Plan Pillar 1: Early Childhood Education
It sure would be nice if the changes were both statistically sound and didn't have to worry about capitalism ruining everything.

Why isn't MCPS teaching kids media literacy?
We need a 21st century curriculum

Declining school enrollment: why the problem is capitalism
MCPS is down about 9,000 students since 2019, and that trend is probably going to continue

Hey @capitals.bsky.social, I love that you're reaching out to #educators and giving us reduced ticket prices, but to limit it to 3 games that are on school nights? While I get that you don't have to offer this to us at all, most of us have to be up super early on school nights... #dobetter

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks there's very little chance that the military is going to defy orders to turn on American cictizens when they're given.
No, Gov. Moore, the military is not going to come to our rescue
What Moore said feels like almost as dangerous a fantasy — that the military might save the republic from becoming a military dictatorship by disobeying a presidential order.

The new Department of Education plan to roll out a new "patriotic" civics curriculum is built on the worst kind of America-first haigiography that eschews critical thinking. The government's partners are well-known for twisting and rewriting history to fit their white Christofascist natrative.
Civics, TPUSA style
It's social studies... but only if you don't think about things too hard.

The gap between teacher pay and other college graduates’ pay is the highest it’s been in over four decades.
Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the pay, dignity, and support they deserve?
