LA may change street sweeping times near schools to give parents some parking-ticket relief |
|
In an effort to help parents from getting parking tickets while dropping their children off at school, a Los Angeles City Council committee forwarded a proposal Wednesday to push back the times of street sweeping near elementary schools. Under the plan approved by the Public Works and Gang Reduction Committee, the Bureau of Street Services would create a pilot program to change the start of street sweeping from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. |

Gavin Newsom knows what it is like to struggle with reading |
|
If Gavin Newsom is elected governor of California in November, he would likely be the first one to have trouble with reading, or at least be the first willing to admit publicly that he does. For years, Newsom has been very open about the fact that he suffers from dyslexia, a neurologically based learning disability that makes it difficult to read, and which was a major contributor to making his school years miserable, even torturous. |

Teachers and students must consider copyright in digital age |
|
As more digital content is used in the classroom by both students and teachers, experts in education technology say there needs to also be a rise in concern over intellectual property and copyright violations. According to Diana Gill, a technology coach for East Porter County School Corporation in Indiana, it is important that educators do more than simply search for an image online and drop it into their lessons. |
