Students are misbehaving more now than they did before the pandemic, according to 70% of 1,000 educators in a recent national survey. And many educators said they had no idea how to handle the rise in disruptions this year. usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…
Teachers are under pressure to help students make up for what they haven’t learned, and kids feel their stress. The combination has led to a pronounced rise in students expressing anger or sadness by lashing out and being disruptive at school.
Educators sent kids to other classrooms or school offices to be consoled by someone else, worked longer hours to try to counsel children themselves, set up physical boxes for kids to anonymously share their complaints and ramped up lessons in managing emotions.
Student attendance nationwide is nowhere close to pre-pandemic levels amid parents’ ongoing concerns about students’ health, shifting mindsets about the importance of classroom time and the expectations of school.

Fourth grade teacher Rodney LaFleur looks for a student to answer a math question. He reaches into a jar filled with popsicle sticks, each with the name of one of his students. The first student’s name he draws is absent. So is the second. And the third.

Carbondale transformed into an important abortion destination for women across the Midwest and South, states where abortion bans and restrictions have spread.
A year ago, there were no clinics in Carbondale. Now, it is the closest abortion destination for more than 1.2 million women from states as far as Louisiana, according to an analysis by Caitlin Myers, an economics professor at Middlebury College.
