You can't see DLD, so how do you spot it in the classroom?
DLD can look like ADHD, autism or dyslexia, but DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) is about spoken language. The core difficulties are with understanding and using words and sentences.

If your job has an β€œappreciation” day or week, that’s a sign it’s underpaid (and under-valued).

PAY! TEACHERS! MORE! (and also stop the other BS)

Last day to weigh in on Trump's plan to politicize the civil service Trump has already shown us how he would use Schedule F powers

Midnight, June 7 is the deadline to comment on the revised Schedule F, Trump's plan to politicize the civil servants by converting them into at-will appointees that can be fired for the mildest pushback against illegal actions.
It's easy - here is how:

These are training grants. 🚨

The Trump administration has launched a war on students and young people studying science.

It’s a common thread. Trump is killing student fellowship grants at NIH and NSF, and is killing the NIH and CDC in-house fellows programs.

Revised and Extended: What's Happening Inside the NIH and NSF

This article--on the systematic dismantling of the NIH, NSF, and CDC--is a must-read not only for researchers and clinicians but for anyone who has ever gotten a vaccine, taken medication, read the results of a research study, or gotten tested for Covid, flu, or STIs.

National Science Foundation suspends salary payments, leaving researchers unable to pay their bills An NSF online payment system remained down after the federal funding freeze was lifted, leaving early-career scientists scrambling to pay bills

β€œIf the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house."

Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded.
