Students get criminal records for unexcused absences :wtf:
This is not the way to HELP and ENCOURAGE kids to attend school. There may be some cases where criminal proceedings are necessary in truancy situations, but only as a last resort. Keep in mind that this is Texas and Texas is famous for its lunatic lawmakers!

Is It Time To Get Rid Of Books In Schools? - McQuivey on the Next Generation of Education
If educators would just take a look at the job skills kids will need, they'd require all middle schoolers to take a computer programming class. The lame ways that technology has been used at schools just doesn't cut it anymore.

CactusHugger: Third graders shouldn't be suspended even if they were intentionally looking for porn. The way to handle a situation like this is to call the parents in and have a little conference. The school explains what happened and the parents and school staff simply make it clear that students should not be looking at material like that at school. It's perfectly understandable that filters are not perfect and can't block every objectional site. The alternative would be not to allow kids on the live web and to create some kind of archived safe web, but that wouldn't work for a whole bunch of reasons although I'm sure there's some company that would like to sell schools exactly that kind of service.
