Amidst the global pandemic, Arizona states students are failing statewide tests in both English and Math this spring with alarming numbers. Education officials had previously advised "extreme caution" in regards to making conclusions based on the number of cases. Disruptions to in-person learning during the pandemic due to the dramatic impact on student learning suggest "inferences may be invalid", according to the department. This years tests also painted a demographic split as White and Asian students passed these exams at twice as POC students. COVID-19 pandemic has had a disparate impact on communities of color, both economically and in loss of life.

That's crazy to hear Covid has had such a negative impact on students performance in school, it's really disheartening. It is a rough transition going from learning in school, then trying to teach yourself through online school in quarantine, it's definitely not for everyone.

I don't think that interacting with police is what causes students to be more likely to go to prison. If the police are in the schools and positively interacting with students, I feel that the students are made to be more aware of their decisions. However, if it is one of the schools in a very poor community that has a high crime rate and a lot of drugs, then those kids are prison bound no matter if they interact with police or not. I am not saying all those kids are bad, but the bad eggs are heading that way regardless.

The lack of student motivation has become a bigger problem during the pandemic. The online courses have affected students as they are unable to get the same face-to-face classes. The curriculum seems harder for students at home to keep up with.

The author reviews the purpose of Residential Schools for the Deaf and how they influence the social life and wellbeing of the children who are sent there for the better. The article shows a bias leaning towards the schools although there are many hearing families who find themselves troubled by the idea of sending their Deaf children away from K-12 but the article brings forward the positive aspects of how a residential school is uniquely capable of helping deaf children develop confidence and capable social skills that would allow them to experience a proper education unlike a mainstream public school in which they would most definitely be out-casted by their lack of resources, culture, language, and role models. It shows both the pros and cons of the residential schools for the Deaf in America but with a clear bias, however this is not unreasonable. Despite the clear bias towards residential schools from the author the article offers a point of view of hearing parents finding issue with sending their child away from home for long periods of time as they would experience with a residential school.

The goal of most educators is to have students achieve major goals in school and proceed on to college and a career with the foundation that is provided in schools. The state has approved a list of standards of education, also called Common Core. Teachers use these standards in the classroom and test the students to discover if these standards are helping the students learn. The students will take a standardized test to evaluate on how well the students have learned from the Common Core. If the students cannot achieve these set goals, educators and teachers will have to revise the strategies to teacher their students the Common Core.

Our educational focus is misguided and centered around test based performance instead of creating a truly well-rounded education for youth. ¨Common core¨ teaching is built around preparing the student for higher education; however the majority of these students need career-based skills, not college level skills. The focus is too much on college and too little on career.

This article talks about four different high school shootings that happen in Arizona. Students are bringing guns to school and are found inside their vehicle. Rumors on social media have been reported to the police thta a student was suspected to bring a gun to school.

Even coming from somebody who carries, I think schools are right to punish a student for having a gun in their car. One because its not allowed, and two because its not allowed! Keep it at home.

I completely agree with students being punished for having guns in cars at school. If it is against the rules then there should be consequences. In my opinion, it is the same has taking a gun to a sporting event or in a hospital, if it is it allowed it is simply not allowed.

Schools take away the right to speech and expression (dress codes) to protect all the students at the school. Students do not have their rights to the same extent as adults.

This article talks about how Sex Ed in the United States continues to lag behind other industrialized nations. There's a lack of comprehensive sex education, with individual states picking and choosing what schools are allowed to teach and how teachers can respond to questions from students.

I couldn't agree more with the notion that our country's sex education is failing the youth of America. It has gotten better over the years due to the education through the internet. But in many southern states, there is still a huge impact on teen pregnancies.

It's really heartbreaking to me how true this is. I was disgusted but also grateful for my sexual education in school. It was graphic and hard to swallow, but important. I hope that we can be less immature as a society about this and rise up to protect and inform our youth.
