At UVA’s virtual orientation for international students, Academic Director Elizabeth Wittner framed the Honor Code and academic integrity as products of capitalism and questioned America’s foundational equality. But international students Siddharth and Fan cut through the noise with sharp insights. Siddharth emphasized that academic integrity is really about effort and genuine learning. Fan highlighted that when students cheat, your relationships are no longer grounded in trust. Their nuanced understanding put Wittner’s politicized narrative to shame — a reminder that students often grasp the soul of academic culture better than the bloated ranks of administrators who now outnumber them.

Oh, Chicago residents are asking for too much? My bad. We're just asking the CTU to teach our students reading, writing, and math skills, rather than politicizing classrooms, brainwashing pupils, and using students to front for the CTU's political causes.

From jeremiah. kim on IG: “Band-Aid lesson! As the school year begins and academic differentiation/supports begin, I find that students start to question why some of their classmates (maybe even themselves) get certain supports and others don’t.”

“The ability to produce and comprehend spoken language is one of the earliest predictors of literacy achievement.” (National Early Literacy Panel, 2008) Research consistently indicates that strong oral langage skills are essential for reading and writing proficiency. That’s why I provide intensive, small group remediation for Kinder students who do not come to school with these foundational skills. We need to build students’ receptive (input) AND expressive (output) language skills AND intervene as early as possible to prevent learning gaps from widening. #Articulation #Speech The Reading League Tiffany Hogan
