Community Schools Are Not the Antidote to Charter Schools
John Klyczek | dissidentvoice.org | 2020-01-06
Democratic presidential candidates, such as Elizabeth Warren, have pledged to fix the American education system by replacing privatized charter schools with "community schools" that incorporate "socioemotional-learning (SEL)" programs. These "Democratic" community schools, which teach "social skills" and "emotional competencies," might sound like "liberal" or "leftwing" education reforms. But don't be fooled by the pathos of …

There may be far more black holes wandering space, consuming all in their path, says worrying new research

Scientists studying the underlying mechanisms which formed the universe have made a startling and terrifying discovery, which they believe indicates that there are more black holes out there than we thought — and they're moving. | The team from Montana State University targeted dwarf galaxies, which are 100 times less massive than our own Milky Way, for study as these are the smallest known to possibly host black holes.
