My son has been working on fun, animated, educational videos this summer. He created this song and video about the Boston Tea Party. Is this something that would find worthwhile to share with your kids or classroom? Do you have any feedback?
I’m currently researching online colleges and would like to hear from people who have attended an online program and can share their honest experience.
What school did you attend, what degree did you earn, and how was your overall experience? The biggest things I’m interested in are the school’s reputation, whether you actually liked the school, and if you would recommend it to someone else.
I’d also like to know about the cost and whether you felt the degree was worth the money. How were the advisors, financial aid office, and other staff? Were they helpful and easy to work with? How were the professors and classes? Did you feel like the online format was organized and that you were getting a quality education?
If you could go back and choose again, would you pick the same school?
I’m looking for a reputable online college with a good student experience, reasonable cost, and a degree that employers respect. Any honest opinions or recommendations would be appreciated!

When I was growing up, it was common place for the school buses to drive through town on a particular route and pick up kids, then go to each school and drop them off. This is a small suburban town. I imagine things are different in big cities.
That was 30 years ago. Now they do pick up and drop offs at the closest school. So basically if the kid goes to a school 1 mile away, they get dropped off by parents at a nearby school, where a bus takes all the kids that get dropped off there to the different schools in the system so they can get where they need to go.
This seems inefficient even though they say it's so we can "avoid the drop off lines" at the actual school he's going to. But wouldn't this just create another drop off line at the closer school? And the drop off lines are probably long because this bus system seems so inefficient. A lot of parents figure if they have to drop the kid off at a school anyway they might as well drive a little bit further to the actual school the kid goes to.
So what's the norm in your district? And what's ideal these days? Should we have school buses picking up and dropping off directly at kids' homes? Should that just be the approach for young kids while older kids get a more standard city bus type schedule but with school buses? Or does it make sense to drop off kids at a nearby school facility and then bus them wherever they need to go in the district?
(I imagine larger cities have a single school for multiple grades in a district. Our town is one school district with multiple schools for different grades scattered all around town.)
Been thinking about this after talking to a few teacher friends who say prepping for standardized tests has started to crowd out actual curriculum time - not because the tests are inherently bad, but because the pressure to hit benchmark scores changes what gets taught and how
Curious what people here who work in education (or have kids going through it) actually think. Is the issue the tests themselves, or how schools/districts respond to the incentives around them? Feels like there's a difference between "testing is bad" and "the system built around testing creates bad incentives," and I'm not sure which critique is the stronger one
