A New Jersey school's 11th graders get a surprise invitation from an unwelcome facility.
Andrea Gonzalez-Ramirez looks at the impact of the regime's detention camps on the children. This is a rough story to read, but a necessary one.
This piece if by Daniel Willingham and E.D. Hirsch at Education Next, so you will probably disagree with some of what's here, but there are also a few points worth thinking about. Content knowledge does indeed provide a foundation for reading comprehension.

Voucher programs repeatedly run into hard truth that voucher students do poorly on the BS Test. That could be a call for them to do a better job teaching students, but the Tennessee GOP would prefer to go in a different direction. Melissa Brown at Chalkbeat.
Jeff Bryant takes a closer look at some of the groups looking to cash in on the federal voucher program, and why the right wingers who support the vouchers might have some problems with the profiteers lining up to benefit from it.

But here comes South Carolina with a "hands off our rebel statuary" bill. Steve Nuzum has the story.
Audrey Watters is here to remind you that, among other things, tech billionaires make predictions that are marketing baloney and also very wrong.
True that. Sora was a blight, and now it's gone. Cross your fingers that nothing worse springs up to replace it.
Alex Reisner at The Atlantic (this should be a gift article). The tag line says it-- "Tech companies believe in intellectual property, but not yours."
Benjamin Riley continues to be one of my favorite AI growlers. Here he looks for a good metaphor for AI.
This week at Forbes.com I looked at a study that suggests that computer tutors work better when they aren't lying about how human they are.
Reg Kehoe and his Marimba Queens worked for a couple of decades starting in the thirties; they played their last gig in 1962.
