One writer argues that the tools meant to make us more productive may actually be making us less capable over time.

Two stories from Minnesota and a national analysis reveal the administrative and policy pressures shaping classrooms this fall.
A fake website is calling attention to a real problem at Minnesota community colleges, nearly a third of applications may be fraudulent 'ghost students.' That's a staggering number with real implications for enrollment data, funding, and security.
The Anoka-Hennepin school board is considering revising a policy meant to ensure student voice, and it could determine what gets taught in social studies this fall. A reminder that curriculum is often a governance fight first.
Ballotpedia's breakdown shows that in 12 states, school boards have different powers depending on the type of district they represent. That matters for anyone trying to understand who actually controls taxing and spending in their local schools.
