Amazon’s Price Swings: Is That Stapler Really $62?!

Amazon’s dynamic pricing is making headlines after a study found schools and local governments were charged wildly different prices for the same office supplies—sometimes paying 3x more for identical items! The kicker? It’s all thanks to Amazon’s algorithm, which keeps prices in constant motion. Not only does this hit public budgets, but it also squeezes out local businesses. Would you trust an AI to set your shopping prices? #Education #Amazon #DynamicPricing

Buffalo schools shift to remote learning Friday

Friday means a big change for Buffalo families—Buffalo Public Schools are moving all classes online for the day. Students and staff will stay home, logging in through Schoology, Clever, or Teams, or using materials sent home earlier. All afterschool activities and sports are canceled Friday, but athletic contests are back on for Saturday. However, Saturday Academies at several schools are canceled, except for the adult welding class at Burgard High, which is still happening. How are you and your kids preparing for another remote day? What works best for your family on these online learning days? #Education #BuffaloSchools #RemoteLearning

Buffalo schools juggle snow, remote learning

Extreme cold and heavy snow have forced Buffalo high schoolers to keep learning from home, while younger students head back to class. The city’s wild winter weather not only canceled classes but also threw off the Regents exam schedule, so teachers need extra time to catch up on grading. With snow days running low, schools are making tough calls to balance safety and learning. How do you feel about remote learning days versus braving the cold for in-person classes? Has this winter changed your view on snow days? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Education #K12 #Buffalo
