It's back to school time! Expert @DevorahHeitner recommends doing a tech check in with your kids before classes begin. Qs to ask: - Do you know your school's cell phone policy? - How does social media make you feel? - Can I post a FDOS picture online? wuwm.com/education/2025…

School-related anxiety isn't just common—it's expected. When 83% of teens blame school for their stress, we're not facing a mental health crisis. We're facing an education crisis. #KidsMentalHealth nirandfar.com/?p=24229 via @nireyal

I’ve lost track of how many people like Mary I’ve seen in the ED with serious illness who wouldn’t have been as sick - or sick at all - if they’d had access to the right care earlier. Prevention, early diagnosis, investigations, timely specialist care, treatment before a crisis.

Employers added 254,000 jobs in September, blowing away forecasts and reversing a slowdown in hiring that had prompted the Federal Reserve to make a jumbo rate cut at its meeting last month. The unemployment rate also inched down to 4.1%.

At one school, dozens of students need bilingual services--but 1 teacher and 2 custodians translate for the whole building. At others, students have to rely on translation apps. “I want to learn,” one of the students said. Deeply reported story by @mina_bloom_ & @reemadamin:

NEW: thousands of migrant families came to chicago for better opportunities. but many children aren't getting the education they deserve because of decades of disinvestment in CPS and our neighborhoods. my latest with the brilliant @reemadamin blockclubchicago.org/2024/05/21/los…

When we began location sharing, it was about me knowing where the kids were. I did not consider the ramifications of them also knowing where I am at all times.
