WATCH: More than 80% of U.S. children attend public schools.

Some of the Education Department’s ultraconservative advisers, led by Secretary Linda McMahon, want to change that.

Teaching my 13yo daughter "the old ways" of repairing a CD/DVD with toothpaste.

"One day, in the far-distant dystopian future," I said, "like when you will be 17, your followers will discover optical discs in the ruins of a city. They will look to you to understand how to recover the lost knowledge."

Our Curriculum Guide for The Cup features a hands-on visual arts lesson that introduces students to Mandala Art as a contemplative practice. It promotes calm, focus and reflection.

You can do this lesson yourself with as little as a pen and paper, or you can make it a full classroom art activity.

This lesson is designed for grades 4-12 and can be used by individuals, too. 4/9

Mood Classroom is one of our newest resources. (It's so new we haven't even officially launched it yet.)

It's a collection of 20-minute lessons that teach simple emotion regulation skills to help kids better understand and manage their emotions.

It's designed specifically for students in grades 3 to 8 (/ages 8 to 13), but adults can use it, too!

If you could use some help with stress management and emotional regulation, the little exercises in these lessons are a great place to start.

Check it out and get more mental wellness resources too. Like all our resources, these are free for everyone. 2/9

I’m thinking to start a new account sharing the disturbing and hurtful things my tiny four-year-old daughter says to me every day. This morning for example, I was trying to zip up her snowsuit when she pushed my hand away and said

“Don’t touch me. You’re not my father. I already told you. You are nothing.”

Do you think an account like this would amuse you and brighten your day?

Speaking of #JDLL, some of you may remember that I had the honor of speaking at the 2025 edition, invited by the awesome @yunohost team to share my experiences self-hosting with them.

I asked my husband to tag along and bring our daughter so she could see me speaking on stage... and see that mamma does cool stuff outside the house too.

Well, my daughter brought up Lyon and the conference on the way to school the other morning. I asked her: "did you have a good time?" and her immediate response was: "I didn't understand anything you said!"

Me: "Well, it's normal, I talked about grown up stuff."

Child (4 then, 5 soon): "But what did you say?"

And then I proceeded to try to explain the concept of #selfhosting and #digitalsovereignty and how empowering it is to use a tech stack independent of #BigTech platforms... in an accessible way that she would understand.

It was SO DIFFICULT.

I probably failed spectacularly and she still doesn't understand. But it made me think that it'd be worth trying to explain this to older kids... like pre-adolescents or in their early teens? Maybe a project for another time.

Edit/add-on: my daughter asked me to speak about the Pink Panther or Bluey next time so she could understand 😂
