jenna64+FollowFort Worth bets big on $100K teacher payFort Worth is making a bold move: teachers at six struggling schools could soon earn $100,000 base salaries, with principals topping out at $145,000. The district hopes this dramatic pay boost will keep experienced educators in classrooms that need them most. But there’s a catch—everyone has to reapply for their jobs, and the district is banking on extra state and federal funding to make it work. With average teacher pay in Fort Worth around $69,000, this is a huge leap. Will bigger paychecks really turn things around, or is this a risky gamble? What do you think? #Education #FortWorth #TeacherPay00Share

Benjamin Contreras+FollowCharlotte braces for possible school closuresSnow, sleet, and freezing rain could shake up school plans across Charlotte as CMS weighs whether to cancel or delay classes. With temps dropping into the teens and hazardous roads likely, the district is watching forecasts closely. Decisions will cover all 523 square miles, so even if your neighborhood looks clear, closures could still happen. Safety comes first, especially for students and bus drivers navigating icy roads. If there’s a change, expect a quick update by text, email, or ParentSquare. How do you feel about the district’s all-or-nothing approach? Should decisions be more localized? #Education #Charlotte #CMS00Share
Michelle Arnold+FollowCleveland schools shut down as arctic blast hitsFrigid temps have brought Cleveland and much of Northeast Ohio to a standstill—over 400 school districts are closed today, giving thousands of kids an unexpected day off. The cold isn’t just inconvenient; it’s pushing first responders to their limits, with firefighters battling blazes in brutal conditions and county buildings delaying openings. Local groups are stepping up to help the homeless stay warm, handing out essentials and opening shelters to anyone in need. Before heading out, double-check your car and bundle up—wind chills are hitting 15 below zero. How are you handling this deep freeze? #Education #Cleveland #SchoolClosings00Share
Michelle Arnold+FollowUO attendance rules: Stress or support?When missing just one class discussion could mean failing, it’s no wonder students at UO feel stressed about attendance policies. With each professor setting their own rules, it’s a confusing mix—some don’t care if you show up, others are strict to the point of anxiety. The university’s “reason-neutral” policy, meant to be fair, often misses the mark when life throws curveballs like illness or emergencies. Shouldn’t learning be about more than just showing up for points? Many students say they’d attend anyway, but flexibility and understanding matter. How do you think attendance should be handled to actually support learning? #Education #UOregon #StudentLife00Share
Nicole Snyder+FollowJuggling Kids’ Sleep & Activities? SAME.Ever feel like you need a spreadsheet just to get your kids to bed on time? Between after-school activities, homework, and late games, it’s a miracle if anyone’s asleep before 9. Pediatricians say sleep is non-negotiable—elementary kids need 9-13 hours! The trick? Set a real bedtime (even if you have to say no to that extra activity). Consistency is key, and no, you can’t just “catch up” on weekends. Protect their rest (and yours)! #Education #ParentingStruggles #KidsSleep00Share

Instead, go to a cheaper college, learn the basics (like accounting and marketing), and focus on building real skills. It’s not about the name on your diploma, it’s about what you actually learn and who you meet. Prestige? Overrated. Debt? Not worth it.

Julie Alexander+Follow1 in 4 Kids Start School in Nappies?!Teachers say a shocking 1 in 4 kids starting reception aren’t toilet trained, and more than a third aren’t ‘school ready’—think not eating, dressing, or even using books right (some try to swipe them like iPads!). Staff are losing hours every day helping with basic skills instead of teaching. Experts blame screen time, lack of info for parents, and stretched resources. The government wants 75% of kids ‘school ready’ by 2028, but we’re not there yet! #Education #parenting #schools11Share
