Seattle may need to close schools to save money (The Seattle Times)

To save money and provide more resources to students, Seattle Public Schools may need to close some schools in the 2024-25 school year.

The district’s total budget is about $1.6 billion for the current school year. In the 1960s, SPS enrollment was double what it is today, and when enrollment dropped, some schools were repurposed. In the last few years, the bulk of student enrollment declines were in the district’s elementary schools. It caused the school to lose its assistant principal, and some educators were transferred to other schools. “But if we could start to pull these resources together so students don’t have to be segmented out to these different places we could give families almost some assurance their student can have a wide range of support.” If the worst-case scenario were to happen, that would represent a 16% drop in enrollment from 2019-20. Enrollment projections are estimates because the pandemic has delayed the release of some 2020 census data, Podesta said. Three of seven elementary schools with the most enrollment declines could be consolidated. And like Seattle, officials are also projecting enrollment declines for the next decade. The decreasing enrollment is causing money problems for districts across the state and nation. The drops in enrollment mean resources for schools have been stretched thin. “That’s the main thing for people to know.”

This flexible space does not limit the form of learning, and natural elements such as light, wind, water, stones, and plants are scattered throughout the school building to create a 'new learning place' where learning can exist wherever children are. Unlike conventional corridors, the corridors are wide and open, as they are seen as one of the new learning spaces that are integrated with the classrooms. Dry areas and atriums have been built to ensure that even the basement floors are well-lighted with the use of natural energy. These natural terraces, which make the most of the site's features, allow children to communicate beyond the confines of their class and grade level. (i) Natural terraces that make the most of the site's features. In this project, the place to learn about this is considered to be the 'School of the Future', and based on the design concept of a 'diverse learning place with nature and communication at its core', the following methods were used to achieve a school that encourages independent thinking and learning among the students.

Protect your child from indecent punishments in school (The Standard)

Children are now being subjected to emotional abuse after the elimination of corporal punishment in schools.

If you are not the type to listen or pay attention, they will probably start malingering and truanting. First, they will tell you about it if you have an open communication route, your children must see you as their confidant. It should be like a garden where vegetables are planted, watered and sometimes, weeded. Many people online are claiming that corporal punishment could have been a better alternative, but haven’t we seen parents and teachers wounding, maiming and even killing the kids? Try imagining how those boys will trail through life, they will be labelled, and even if they move to another city or galaxy, the memory shall persist, with those videos forever haunting them. When did humiliating children become a way of correcting bad behaviour?
