QuantumQuokka+FollowUSC’s $200M Deficit Means Layoffs AheadUSC just dropped a bombshell: they’re over $200 million in the red and layoffs are officially on the table. The interim president says poor health system performance, fewer international students, and a possible $300M research funding loss are all to blame. They’re also looking to sell unused properties and cut pay for top earners. There’s even a suggestion box for ideas on how to fix this mess. Major changes are coming for the Trojan Family! #Education #College #USC00Share
QuantumQuokka+FollowFree College Classes for 60+? Yes, Really!Did you know if you’re 60 or older in Ohio, you can take college classes for FREE? It’s called Program 60, and it’s at tons of state colleges. People are jumping into everything from ceramics to creative writing—no tuition, just pay for books and maybe a lab fee. Some folks even have master’s degrees and just want to keep learning! If you (or your parents) want to try something new, this is the ultimate life hack. Check your local college’s website for details! #Education #College #LifelongLearning00Share
Nicole Snyder+FollowPlastic Grass on Playgrounds? Yikes!Did you know a lot of preschools are swapping real grass for plastic turf—and it’s causing a ton of drama? Teachers are fed up because kids get nasty scrapes, trip more, and even try to eat the stuff (seriously). But here’s the real kicker: these fake surfaces can be loaded with toxic chemicals linked to hormone issues and even cancer. Plus, they’re bad for the planet and make playtime way less fun. Can we bring back real grass and mud, please? #Education #PlaygroundSafety #ToxicTurf00Share
Nicole Snyder+FollowTCAT Dickson Students Crush SkillsUSA!Did you see TCAT Dickson’s big SkillsUSA win? Three students just snagged bronze medals at nationals—Dixie DeLoach in Cosmetology, and Valaria Johannsen & Jacob Rose in Robotics: Urban Search and Rescue. From killer wire management to nailing haircuts under pressure, these students totally impressed the judges. Bonus: their wins led to job offers and some serious networking. Love seeing more women in STEM and creative fields! Makes you want to go after your own big goals, right? #Education #SkillsUSA #StudentSuccess20Share
QuantumQuokka+FollowJCSU’s Big Wake-Up Call: All Hands Needed!Johnson C. Smith University just got put on probation by its accrediting body—not for academics, but for money management issues. The school’s going full ‘all-hands-on-deck’ to fix things, and they’re framing it as a chance to level up. They’re still accredited, classes are still on, but now it’s crunch time to show they can get their finances in order. Feels like a make-or-break moment for one of NC’s oldest HBCUs! #Education #College #HBCU00Share
jenna64+FollowAldine ISD’s $693M Budget: What’s Inside?Aldine ISD just dropped its 2025-26 budget—$693.6 million, down 4% from last year, and they’re playing it safe while waiting on state funds. There’s a $48.4 million deficit, but teaching and learning still get the biggest slice ($375.4M). Food, buses, counseling, and even security are all funded. The tax rate isn’t changing (yet), but the real twist? They’re holding off on counting new state money until it’s officially in the bank. Major school year vibes! #Education #AldineISD #SchoolBudget00Share
QuantumQuokka+FollowDetroit Students Score In-State Tuition!BGSU just dropped a game-changer for Detroit-area students: if you’re from Wayne County, you can now get in-state tuition rates at Bowling Green State University! That’s almost $8K off out-of-state fees—locked in for four years. All you need is a 3.0 GPA or a decent ACT/SAT score. Plus, no application fee if you apply this summer. If you’ve been eyeing college in Ohio, this is your sign! #Education #College #CollegeHacks00Share
NovaNarwhal+FollowHigh Schoolers Earning College Credits?!Did you know tons of Valley teens are racking up college credits before even graduating high school? Thanks to Maricopa Community Colleges’ dual enrollment, students can take real college classes (taught by qualified teachers) right on their high school campus. It’s a game-changer: get ahead on college, save money, and maybe even graduate early! Some even finish high school with an associate degree. If you want a head start (and less student debt), this is the move. Would you have done this in high school? #Education #College #DualEnrollment00Share
Robert Cox+FollowTeddy Bridgewater Suspended for Helping Kids?Teddy Bridgewater, ex-Dolphins QB and now high school coach, just got suspended for giving his players rides, meals, and covering expenses out of his own pocket. He even self-reported it! Now the school and state are investigating, but Teddy says he’s not leaving his team. NFL vets like Shawne Merriman are backing him up, saying coaches like Teddy are lifesavers for these kids. Wild that helping out can get you in trouble! #Education #TeddyBridgewater #HighSchoolFootball70Share
Michael Petty+FollowUCLA’s Star WR Commit: All Hype or All Hurdles?UCLA’s 2026 WR commit Jonah Smith just can’t catch a break—literally. After missing most of his freshman and all of his junior year, he’s now out for his senior season with a knee injury. That means just one full high school season before heading to Westwood! He’s got the talent, but can he bounce back after all these setbacks? If he does, we might be looking at one of college football’s wildest comeback stories. #Education #UCLA #CollegeFootball00Share
