hnguyen+FollowVaping surge hits Florida schools hardVape use is exploding in Florida schools, with over 22,000 incidents reported just this year—many more likely go undetected. School resource officers say it’s their top concern, as students find creative ways to sneak vapes past security. The health risks are real: vapes can contain toxic chemicals and even opioids, leading to addiction and potential felony charges if THC is involved. Plus, those disposable vapes are piling up as e-waste. Schools are cracking down, but is it enough? Should Florida—or the whole country—ban disposable vapes to protect kids? What’s the best way to tackle this growing problem? #Education #FloridaSchools #VapingCrisis00Share

QuantumQuokka+FollowMichigan coach scandal: Why only Moore was firedSherrone Moore lost his job as Michigan’s head football coach after an investigation confirmed he had an undisclosed relationship with a staff member. But here’s the twist: the staffer keeps her job, and it’s all because of a university policy put in place after a previous scandal. The rules make supervisors responsible for reporting relationships with subordinates, not the other way around. This is meant to protect staff from retaliation and power imbalances. What do you think—should the policy be changed, or does it strike the right balance? #Education #College #Michigan00Share
