Online learning turned one LA County high school into a sports powerhouse, source of controversy |
|
Ganesha’s baseball and softball programs are both undefeated and have dominated at times like a Goliath during the regular season and in the playoffs. There has been a lot of people asking how a school not known for its baseball or softball programs could become this good seemingly overnight. There’s a very simple answer. The school has an online-schooling program that has attracted numerous transfers, and that includes many of the newcomers this year to the baseball and softball teams. Nearly all of Ganesha’s baseball players and many of its softball players are taking part in the online program that allows the players to essentially be home-schooled, with the exception of being on campus for testing. |

Fires, floods, shootings: How schools can help students thrive after traumatic events |
|
Wildfire and flood season is approaching in California, which means that once again schools will play a central role in helping communities recover from trauma. In some cases, schools will provide food, housing and supplies to families who’ve lost everything. In other instances, schools will be a gathering point for displaced communities. And just about everywhere, they’ll provide a much-needed sense of normalcy for students, staff and families whose lives have been upended by disaster. |

An LA Teen Is Suing LAUSD — And The USDA — To Promote Nondairy Milk |
|
Last fall, Marielle Williamson, a senior at Eagle Rock High School in Los Angeles, set up a table just outside her school’s college center. Stocked with free stickers and cartons of Oatly oat milk, she settled in to tell people about the environmental and ethical benefits of plant-based milk. Classmates soon crowded around for samples of oat- or pea protein-based beverages. “Students loved it,” Williamson told Grist. |

Why the ‘science of reading’ may be the next dyslexia battleground |
|
State lawmakers plan to require that all students be tested for dyslexia and other reading challenges, but the hurdles ahead point to a bigger problem with how California’s public schools teach reading. Before teachers can screen their students, they themselves need to be trained both in how to use the screening tests and how to help the students who get identified as struggling readers. Many experts and educators say most public school teachers in California weren’t adequately trained to teach students how to read. |
