His asking price for reimbursement in January went up after a vituperative letter in October to the university. In 2015, Georgetown University removed the names of two Jesuit priests who had served as presidents at the school. “Members of the Board began this process with strongly held differences of opinion, and the subsequent discussions were candid, thoughtful, and constructive. “We recognize that some may be disappointed or disagree with this decision,” Hallock wrote in a letter to the university community sent when the decision to officially rename the law school was made in September. It follows from an ongoing look at the school’s ties to slavery, including the university’s Race and Racism project, which explored and catalogued its history of discrimination. The buildings were named for the Rev. A university spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on the letter. Smith has said the law school could have kept the name and attributed it to the son instead. While the names are the same, the T.C. Smith, his great-great grandson, says the university has caved to “woke activists” and ignored the financial contributions of generations of his family members, particularly Williams’s son, T.C. “I suggest you immediately turn over the [school’s] entire $3.3 billion endowment to the current descendants of T.C. The university said personal tax records for Williams show that he was taxed on owning three enslaved people.

"As soon as we knew the contractors had made a design error regarding the width of the doors, we were in touch with them immediately to make sure this was rectified as a matter of urgency and we have been assured this has been done." "We've been in regular contact with the school over this period, and from the updates this week on the development of The Bridge, we feel confident that the building will be safe to occupy after the February half-term break. Delays to the the construction of a new building at a South Yorkshire special school, including making doors too narrow for wheelchair access, have left pupils frustrated, a parent has said.

Growing up on Charleston's West Side, where he attended the city's district schools, Turan Rush became concerned about the school-to-prison pipeline.

We just want to provide opportunity because with opportunity the world is yours.” “The school to prison pipeline is something that we are trying to beat, especially in our community,” said Rush. And we want to offer that because around here for a long time the resources have definitely been slim to none. “I’m hoping that they gain a solid education for one. When I visited the warm and welcoming community center and saw the amount of work it was going to take to renovate the other, old building on the property, I asked Biddle why he and Rush needed to wait 18 months to open the private school. “The Cardinal Institute is working to identify regulatory bottlenecks and unnecessary licensing hurdles and restrictions in West Virginia so education entrepreneurs can focus on their most important goal: educating children and serving families,” said Garrett Ballengee, executive director of the Cardinal Institute for West Virginia Policy. I was introduced to Rush and Biddle by Jamie Buckland of West Virginia Families United for Education, a non-profit that helps to encourage education entrepreneurs to create new learning options and connects parents to these options. The teacher, who didn’t know that Rush’s brother was a student in his classroom, responded harshly to the student, stating: “That’s not your job. He was visiting a district middle school in Charleston as a special guest and entered a 7th grade classroom where he saw his brother and all of the other children sitting at their desks, facing the wall. “These are 10, 11, 12-year-old kids we’re talking about,” said Rush, who learned that his brother spent most of the day in this classroom. “That really triggered me, seeing that nothing improved,” said Rush. Rush explained that school itself has “prison vibes.” The coercive, command-and-control environment that characterizes much of today’s standard schooling subjects young people to far more restrictions on their freedom than most adults would ever tolerate.

Letters: Nigel Gann, Barbara Clarke and Anne Dyas recall their time at Haberdashers' Aske's schools many decades ago.

I, and the 12 other girls in my year on direct grant places, provided some academic salt to the mix of girls from more affluent families. My working-class parents struggled to afford the uniform and the lunches. I went on to enjoy a successful career and family life. My family moved, and at a rural county grammar school I soon reverted to the happy, well-integrated and high-achieving girl I had been before. The suggestion that a school with “nonexistent careers advice” and that gave “too little encouragement to those who were not seriously academically gifted”, precisely in line with my experiences, must be a damning verdict on any school, let alone one supported by public money. I wore a tunic from the school pre-worn “shop” that showed its long history all too clearly

As children witness more violence on social media and in places where they study, worship, and play, questions grow about effects on them.

“Exposure to youth violence and school violence can lead to a wide array of negative health behaviors and outcomes, including alcohol and drug use and suicide. For example, anti-bullying intervention research finds training students to move from being passive bystanders to actively supporting victims of bullying can both reduce overall bullying and improve students’ empathy. For schools that experience a shooting or other violent incident on campus, planning long-term support for students and staff to cope with trauma can be critical. Robin Kowalski, a psychology professor at Clemson University who studies school shootings and the environment that leads to them, said in many cases, classmates heard about school shooters’ plans before they happened but failed to report it. In some situations, it can be a healthy coping strategy; for example, people who have phobias often go through a type of therapy in which they are gradually and repeatedly exposed to the thing they fear in order to reduce their response to it. “The emotional numbing that accompanies emotional desensitization to violence may contribute to the development of … students are more likely to report.” Children and adolescents repeatedly exposed to violent media, for example, “Violence surrounds us everywhere—news, media, movies, games—to the point where we begin to block it out.” Here’s what they need to know. Students who experience violence across different contexts—such as both at school and in their community—can be at higher risk of becoming numb to it. Educators and school leaders can help to counter this numbing effect and help students cope with violence on campus, in their communities, and in the media in healthier ways.
