Turn a racetrack into a school? The idea is causing tensions in a Quebec town
This week, elected officials voted to establish a land reserve on the grounds of Sanair, a 57-year-old racetrack in Saint-Pie, Que. The site is being considered for a new high school.

🇳🇱 Het huidige digitale onderwijssysteem wordt gedomineerd door techgiganten. Fundamentele rechten, zoals de privacy, vrijheid en soevereiniteit van kinderen, ouders en opvoeders zijn onvoldoende gewaarborgd. Ed-tech is voornamelijk closed source en zit vol vendor lockins. Producten zijn te duur, verzamelen te veel gegevens of beide. Het is nu tijd om op surveillancekapitalisme gebaseerde Ed-tech te vervangen door ethische vrije opensource alternatieven. 🇬🇧 Bio's are short, see website :)

California schools will soon be able to easily search the names of bus drivers, janitors and other school support staff to see if they have substantiated claims of misconduct.
Why hasn’t a similar system for teachers succeeded?

I finally sat down and read the actual legal text of the #UAE Cabinet Resolution No. (106) of 2026, which sets a minimum age of 15 for social media use and regulates children's access to these platforms — not just the summary graphics circulating online. It has more structural issues than the public messaging suggests.
A few things stood out that didn't make it into the summaries:
Scope is jurisdictional, not residency-based. The resolution applies to any platform "available within the State or directed at users therein." That means a tourist's child logging into their existing #account from a UAE hotel room falls under this. Enforcement has no practical way to distinguish a resident from a #visitor — it's IP-based by necessity.
Self-declared age is explicitly banned. The text is direct: self-declaration "shall not be recognized." Platforms must use government digital ID, biometric age-estimation AI, or a licensed local verification provider. That's full identity verification infrastructure for every user, not a checkbox.
#Parents can't legally help. Caregivers are now obligated to avoid circumventing verification or providing false information to get a child onto a platform — even with good intentions, even for supervised access. The resolution removes discretion that used to sit with the family.
No #educational carve-out. The definition of "Social Media Platform" is broad: anything enabling profiles, social interaction, content sharing, or algorithmic content ranking. There's no exemption for #Google Workspace for Education, Microsoft Teams, or #school #WhatsApp groups — all of which technically qualify.
The verification standards themselves (Article 4) are actually well-written — data minimization, audit rights, no unjustified exclusion. The infrastructure requirement is thoughtful. What's missing is the follow-through: platforms are told to build accurate, privacy-respecting age verification, and then told to use it to lock kids out entirely instead of using the same system to give them a properly restricted, supervised experience.
We built the lock. We just used it on the wrong door.

Und natürlich freut es uns, dass wir der Familie ein wenig helfen konnten - ein alter Computer kann einen gewaltigen Unterschied im Leben einer Familie ausmachen.

What is your answer to 18÷3x2=? Boosts appreciated No, this isn't a trick question. An oft-cited blog has made the claim that "most humans" will get the wrong answer, which I think is a completely ridiculous claim, so I want hard data on the split. Unlike some other polls I've run, I want #teacher

Senators Push Federal Regulator to Prove School Bus Safety Data Is Accurate

The request from two Democratic lawmakers comes after WBUR and ProPublica found that the federal safety record was missing dozens of fatal crashes involving one of the nation’s largest public transit operators.

This has been the last day of school for this summer. I was up at 2:20 am, warmed up, ran, showered, cycled to school at 6:35, loaded lots of equipment into a van, drove over to the concert hall for our closing ceremony, afterwards back with all the stuff to our school. There: closing ceremony for the staff – with music. Then: Home (cycling at 34 deg C). Sleep. Bliss. More sleep tonight! #running #apex4 #coros #school #sleep #music

City council members are considering means testing the program which would create unnecessary friction, visibly outing poor kids.

A woman who sexually abused a minor. Boxer Mike Tyson, who served time for rape. Both of these people successfully launched private schools that collected public money.
As the voucher system grows more popular, few states have guardrails in place.

Just been helping my son with chemistry, and accidentally flipped the narrative. He was looking at the Haber–Bosch process for making ammonia. I asked him about what ammonia's good for, the timing of the development, the timing of World War 1...
He was so suddenly interested like he's never been interested in chemistry before.
Then we got onto older ways of extracting nitrates from urine, something that Germany also had an advantage in because they drank so much beer.
And then to the initial extraction of phosphorus.
And then to calculating that, if only one person were involved, it'd take about a decade of collecting urine to replicate Brand and Kunckel's work.
Apparently the chem teacher never talks about things like this.
Even though we've been talking about the importance of doing so since the 1990s, and it's supposedly REQUIRED by the national curriculum.
