MSU’s AI course debate heats up campus

Michigan State is buzzing over a proposal to add AI-focused courses and certifications, aiming to prep students for an AI-driven job market. Business leaders are pushing for these changes, but many faculty members feel sidelined, arguing that curriculum decisions should stay in the hands of professors. The tension highlights a bigger question: How much say should outside voices have in shaping what students learn? With AI skills becoming more essential, is it time for universities to rethink who gets to influence their academic direction? Would you welcome more industry input, or should faculty have the final word? #Education #College #MSU

Cherry Creek schools face major trust crisis

A wave of concern is sweeping through Cherry Creek School District after a Denver7 Investigates report exposed claims of a toxic work culture and a possible conflict of interest at the top. With Superintendent Chris Smith and Chief HR Officer Brenda Smith married, many staff say they feel trapped, unable to report issues without fear of retaliation. Hundreds of community members have weighed in online, demanding accountability and transparency. The district’s silence and refusal to answer questions only fuels suspicion. What changes do you think need to happen to restore trust in our schools? #Education #CherryCreekSchools #Denver

Grandview shakes up Colorado wrestling

Grandview just pulled off a huge upset, edging out Pomona to win the Top of the Rockies wrestling tournament by a razor-thin margin—207 to 200 points. This win snaps Pomona’s long-standing dominance and sets the stage for a wild run to the state championships next month. With three individual champs and six top-four finishers, Grandview’s momentum is real. Pomona wasn’t at full strength, but their depth still showed. Wrestling fans, what do you think: Is this the start of a new era, or will Pomona bounce back when it counts? #Education #K12 #ColoradoWrestling

Fort Worth bets big on $100K teacher pay

Fort 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 #TeacherPay

Charlotte braces for possible school closures

Snow, 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 #CMS

Cleveland schools shut down as arctic blast hits

Frigid 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 #SchoolClosings

UO 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 #StudentLife

Juggling 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 #KidsSleep
