My 8th grader, who we are #homeschooling, just got her standardized test results back. She’s scoring grade equivalent of 11th or above on everything, and did notably better than on last year’s test.

So a sigh of relief there, but it’s also a little scary as commentary on the public education system, because we, uh, haven’t been doing the *best* job homeschooling her, and she isn’t the best student in everything either. I KNOW this kid’s math. How is she better than the average 11th grader?!

Providing children (and ourselves) with tools to manage anxiety is important. Our executive director Jennifer Fischer shares the books and tools that work for her family at Multicultural Kid Blogs.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a "direct final rule" that would eliminate the requirement that new buildings constructed with federal funds must be accessible to people with disabilities. This move would weaken the civil rights protections guaranteed by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

We want to recommend an outstanding resource for teaching about the 504 Regulations: Crip Camp. 1/2
