Another business is saying goodbye to the Mission due to unsuccessful lease negotiations with its landlord. Stuff, a massive consignment vintage store on Valencia St. will close on Jan. 31, 2024. "It breaks my heart," its co-owner said. via @junyao98 missionlocal.org/2023/10/stuff-…
CURSIVE: important to learn or obsolete? - I grew up in NYC & learned cursive & still write in script! ✍️ - I taught grade 4 in New Orleans 2016-19 and taught my kids script 👩🏫 - I tutored in Oakland 2019-2021 and none of my kids wrote in script but were very tech literate 🖥️
Students from San Francisco public high schools walked out of classrooms on Wednesday in support of Palestine and called for an end to the ongoing violence in Gaza. sfexaminer.com/news/education…
A sprinkler system has been installed in an alley behind the Best Western Red Coach Inn in the Tenderloin — not to water the grass, but allegedly to spray unhoused people who set up their tents on the sidewalk. sfexaminer.com/news/the-city/…

My latest post: "The U.S. Homework Load Continues to Plunge." tomloveless.com/posts/homework…
Homeschooling skyrocketed during the pandemic and the trend doesn’t look to be slowing down 1999…….850,000 2007…..1,508,000 2015…..1,690,000 2020…2,650,000 2021….3,700,000 2022…4,300,000 Is it political or are parents simply dissatisfied with schools? #Homeschool #EdChat
NOoooo
The genesis of the after-school program was born on the idea that kids in the Excelsior already possessed the skills to ride. They just needed a space to learn more. sfexaminer.com/news/education…
The 49,000-student San Francisco Unified School District began this year with more teacher vacancies than Los Angeles Unified, which serves 480,000 more students than SFUSD. sfexaminer.com/news/education…
Teacher shortage is evident in CA & nationwide but many said at the last BOE meeting that it is especially severe at SFUSD … I reached out to the 10 largest CA school districts by student pop (+OUSD) re vacancies. The CDE does not collect statewide data on unfilled positions
A surge in new apartment supply — 1.2 million units were completed during the pandemic — helped slow rent growth nationwide, but some parts of the country saw more housing being built than others. trib.al/pIK8UYs
"If the district's finances were managed differently, SFUSD could pay competitive wages that would attract and retain staff as nearby districts are doing." sfexaminer.com/news/education…
Amid California's growing support for psychedelics as mental health care, MDMA therapy by UCSF's Jennifer Mitchell, PhD, is poised to be the first psychedelic treatment of its kind to be evaluated for FDA approval. Read the @sfexaminer article for more: ow.ly/XoYF50PFaiT.
Although tranq was the cause of at least 16 overdose deaths in The City this year, San Francisco is not the epicenter of the crisis — or at least not yet. sfexaminer.com/news/the-city/…
I did a thing this term where I told my students they were allowed to use ChatGPT. The catch was, they had to tell me about it in a reflection when they handed in their paper. This is a thread about how it all went.
Tune into the San Francisco Board of Education meeting today at 6:30 pm. This meeting will include an update on the School Plan for Student Achievement, and more. View the agenda and participation information: go.boarddocs.com/ca/sfusd/Board…

I don’t normally comment on journalism fuck ups because there are plenty of people here who do, but this is a good example of just how far higher ed coverage at national papers often lags behind student journalism (and their own publications’ standards).
Contrary to a report by The Washington Post, no protesters have been arrested, and the encampment has not been broken up by Penn's administration. Rather, the encampment remains intact and uninterrupted at this time.
