At Holocaust Museum LA, A Timeless Lesson That Schools Don't Always Teach |
|
For the past seven years, Valley High School students have been making the yearly trip from their home in Las Vegas down to Los Angeles. They end at Pan Pacific Park, at the oldest Holocaust museum in the country. Survivors founded Holocaust Museum L.A. in 1961, after they realized they each had a personal artifact to share from before World War II. They wanted to make sure future generations remembered and learned from this part of our history. |

Transitional kindergarten came to San Diego, are schools ready for young kids? |
|

But it was downright brutal for Sara LaPietra and her 4-year-old son Teddy when he started in the new transitional kindergarten program at McKinley Elementary near Balboa Park. Many San Diego schools don’t allow parents on campus. LaPierta says when school started in early September, she was supposed to stop at the gate and tell Teddy to walk himself to class. |

‘Heroes to zeroes’: L.A. school staff plans strike vote |
|
The staff members who keep Los Angeles schools running — and prepared them to reopen during the pandemic — say they are on the verge of walking off the job. They held a rally Tuesday in front of the district’s headquarters as a step toward authorizing a strike. As Superintendent Alberto Carvalho and the school board met inside the downtown building, custodians, cafeteria workers, bus drivers and classroom assistants — arriving on buses from across the district — waved placards and chanted, “no justice, no peace.” |
