update from the front lines of middle school: the kids are still using "the devil's lettuce" as a euphemism for weed

Yes, kids are still trying to smoke weed in the bathrooms without being caught. No, it does not work

We know that educators who relied on the The World Factbook as a reference for teaching geography are reeling at the news that it has been taken offline.

We've put together a collection of other free, online resources that can help fill that gap, along with our best regional geography lessons (which are also free!)

Take a look and please share this with your educator friends.

That 6 7 joke in #KamalaHarris' new #GenZ #Headquarters political campaign should really draw in the 12-year-old #MiddleSchool demographic

As a kid, I searched every single tile that could be reached in the #TG16 game #FinalLapTwin... I collected balloons... but just any balloons... I had a three-ring binder about the cloned sheep Dolly when I was in #middleschool... Just because it was interesting...

I wonder why people suspect I'm "on the #spectrum?"

High Fashion

Our son’s semester art class project at school has been crocheting a set of accessories for Pike. We managed to get him to briefly model them.

Many treats were required. Here are some alternate angles and outtakes. (We freed him from this torture immediately afterwards.)

#art #crafting #crochet #dog #middleSchool #pike

A small black and tan Yorkshire terrier in close up sitting on a green couch in front of a white pillow and a red blanket. He is wearing a crocheted white triangle bandanna around his neck, a crocheted white bracelet on his left front paw, and a crocheted white sleeve covering most of his right front leg. He is looking up slightly at the treat being held out of frame. He is very fluffy, overdue for a grooming.

An angle more from above; the dog is only wearing the bandanna and looking up towards a treat out of frame.

A more zoomed out shot; a ball of yarn sits on the green couch next to the dog and he seems to be looking at the camera like "really??"

Middle school concert night. I’m up at the back of the bleachers with the camera to video. Audio is captured by a Tascam recorder back stage (hooked up to a couple of overhead mics above the stage) and the jazz band in the pit is captured by a GoPro on stage.

Videos go up on YouTube for sharing.

"This year’s #books are all over the map! From #Uganda to #Vienna to #Texas, these books showcase both the #diversity and commonality of #Jewish life. #Refugee experiences figure prominently, as do themes related to fantasy and the power of one person to make a difference. I was surprised when reviewing my list that there were only three #holiday books (counting #Shabbat—and none about #Hanukkah!) and one modern #midrash.

For #preschool to #middleschool #kids, here are some of the best new #Jewishbooks out now:"

A study followed 'gifted' kids for over 50 years. Here's what we've learned about them.

#American #Kids Can’t Do #Math Anymore
Five years ago, about 30 incoming freshmen at #UCSanDiego arrived with math skills below #highschool level. Now, according to a recent report from #UC San Diego faculty and administrators, that number is more than 900—and most of those students don’t fully meet #middleschool math standards.

7th graders were asked what 30-year-olds want for Christmas. The answers are harsh but true.

Today's middle school teacher dispatch:

The other teachers are almost all 24 and are literally bullying each other over who the kids like more. I am old and I am tired and you couldn't pay me to be 24 again.

And I am old and tired and, frankly, more popular (lol) because kids want structure and they know I'm fair.

And about her oldest sons, Mo'men and Abdul Rahman – they're teenagers so in high school and middle-school:

"Mo'men and Abdul Rahman have lost their future and aren't studying."

About schools in their camp:

"We don’t have schools here; it’s too far from us."

RE: https://mastodon.social/@naeemafamily/115468794193261909

Yesterday (01.11.25), I asked Haneen about school and if the twins Elias and Aylan are also studying. Because Saji is studying at home (all three are in elementary school stage)

What about them? Haneen answered:

"I am very sad for Aylan and Elias; they don't have a school, and it's difficult for them. They need a foundation now."
