Jorge Figueroa+FollowThe wildest things students Google at schoolSome of the things students search for on their school laptops are just plain hilarious—and sometimes a little worrying! Teachers like Briana can see what kids are Googling in real time, and she’s shared gems like “is cough syrup medicine?” and “what does bomboclat mean?” (spoiler: it’s a Jamaican swear word). There was even a student trying to book a flight to Colorado during class! While most searches are more weird than dangerous, it’s a reminder of how curious (and creative) kids can be online. What’s the funniest or strangest thing you’ve seen a kid look up? #Education #SchoolLife #KidsOnline10Share
Michael Petty+FollowWould you send your kid to school with lice?Schools are now telling parents it’s okay to send kids to class even if they have head lice, mild colds, or rashes—as long as they feel well enough to participate. The CDC, American Academy of Pediatrics, and school nurses all agree: missing school for lice isn’t necessary and can actually do more harm than good, especially for attendance and kids’ mental health. But many parents are still uneasy about the idea. Where do you stand—should schools prioritize attendance over concerns about spreading lice? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Education #Parenting #SchoolLife22Share
Benjamin Contreras+FollowPhones Out, Grades Up? School Bans WorkTurns out, banning cellphones at school isn’t just about fewer TikTok dances in class—new research says it actually boosts test scores and chills out student behavior. Some schools saw way fewer fights and drama after phones were out of sight. Not everyone’s thrilled (hello, worried parents), but experts say clear rules make a big difference. Would you survive a school day without your phone? #Education #SchoolLife #CellphoneBan100Share
Michelle Arnold+FollowWhy kids’ silly trends matter more than you thinkTurns out, when kids latch onto goofy phrases like “six-seven,” it’s not a sign of declining intelligence—it’s a crucial part of growing up. These shared in-jokes help them bond, build confidence, and feel seen by their peers and teachers. Adults might find it baffling or even annoying, but this playful nonsense is actually great for social development and emotional wellbeing. Instead of dismissing these harmless trends, maybe we should celebrate the laughter and connection they bring. What quirky fads do you remember from your own school days? Let’s talk about the role of silliness in learning and growing up! #Education #ChildhoodTrends #SchoolLife00Share
Nicole Snyder+FollowWhat School Really Teaches (It's Not Math!)Ever wonder what your kid is actually learning at school? Spoiler: it’s not just reading or math. Turns out, the real lesson is all about following rules—sit still, raise your hand, don’t ask too many questions. Standardized tests? They’ve basically replaced deep learning with bubble-filling drills. And critical thinking? Not so much. Kids get really good at compliance, not creativity. The stuff they really pick up? How to survive boredom, navigate social hierarchies, and figure out their place in the pecking order. Wild, right? #Education #Parenting #SchoolLife00Share
