Not my district but I’m sickened by this. My parents never took me to the library as a child and we had no money for books, so the school library was my only opportunity to read a book. My district has been making Library access more difficult for a while. It sticks. I’m thankful that I can take my kids to the county library.

There has been a lot of discussion around this in the crooked discord

This is so horrific to me. I almost don’t have words.

Houston ISD is the eighth largest school district in the country. I don't know how but the DOE has to get involved somehow. This is horrifying.

In the continuing saga of twitter X -
It also apparently strobes at night. With a residential building right across the street.
Or I suppose I should say strobed.

I just don't understand how anyone can support the clear attacks on education. The whole goal is to produce dumb kids without critical thinking skills
Our school district got rid of all the certified librarians a few years ago during budget cuts but has managed to find enough money to create new "administration" positions. With the book ban shenanigans I think we really need at least one certified librarian for our 8k student district

It's the first week of August now. Time for a new thread?

I just applied for this plan. I am only 13 years into my 25 year plan, so it will shave 2 years off my repayment AND the forgiveness will be for a much smaller amount as I never pay all of the interest. So this is a big deal for someone like me, because when my forgiveness comes, it will be considered income that year. So the smaller the forgiveness the more likely I will be able to manage it.
