#end-to-end solutions to K-12 students

[justinspoliticalcorner]

Samantha Riedel at Them:

The Trump campaign has been building out “Agenda47” into a 20-point platform — explained in a series of videos on the campaign site — since late 2022. Most of the component planks deal with perennial Trump scapegoats: Chief among Trump’s priorities, for example, is bringing an end to what he calls the “migrant invasion,” partly via a massive deportation campaign. Two “Agenda47” policies target LGBTQ+ people in particular, specifically transgender people, with Trump promising to wage war on “radical gender ideology” in schools and also “keep men out of women’s sports.”

Republicans have eagerly latched on to trans women athletes as a wedge issue in recent years, asserting that trans women have biological athletic advantages over cis women (despite a lack of evidence for such claims). In a February 2023 message decrying “left wing gender insanity,” Trump affirmed that if elected, he would interpret the federal anti-discrimination statute Title IX to entirely prohibit trans women from participating in women’s sports, and ask Congress to pass legislation to affirm that interpretation. Although President Joe Biden introduced new trans-inclusive rules for interpreting Title IX during his term, those changes applied to trans students in all areas except athletics (and are currently blocked pending litigation in federal court).

But Trump’s anti-trans plans aren’t limited to sports. His February 2023 proclamation stated that he would seek a federal definition of “gender” that is restricted to only “male and female” as assigned at birth. Trump also vowed to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth, falsely labeling such medical care “mutilation” and “mutation” and promising to terminate trans-affirming doctors from Medicare and Medicaid. In his Agenda47 video, Trump falsely claimed that trans people and gender dysphoria did not exist “until the radical left invented it just a few years ago.” He also accused pharmaceutical companies of pushing hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and surgeries for profit, but provided no evidence of such a conspiracy. “Under my leadership, this madness will end,” Trump concluded in the video.

Much of Agenda47’s anti-trans language dovetails with Trump’s anti-teacher and anti-education positions, representing a series of attacks not just on queer and trans students, but on teachers and educators who do not adhere to the Republican party line. At various points, Agenda47 describes schools as “indoctrinating” students with “Marxism,” “critical race theory,” and “gender ideology.” Trump’s solutions to the imagined problem would include monetary rewards for schools who strip K-12 teachers of their tenure; a federal “Parents Bill of Rights,” likely with similar language to anti-LGBTQ+ state bills of the same name; a Red Scare-like hunt for “the radicals who have infiltrated the federal Department of Education”; and a new teacher certification board to ensure educators “embrace patriotic values.” Trump is also heavily courting conservatives who homeschool their children, a longtime Republican pet project that has rapidly gained ground in recent years. The Trump team has insisted that their candidate has nothing to do with the now-infamous Project 2025, despite its breathless ambition towards “institutionalizing Trumpism” (and Trump’s close ties with its architects). But Agenda47’s policy items are near-indistinguishable from Project 2025’s, making the difference largely a matter of branding. As Ms. magazine noted, Project 2025 also seeks an end to federal protections for trans people at any level, diametrically opposes Biden’s reinterpretation of Title IX, and would establish a “male/female” gender binary on the federal level, even prohibiting school officials and educators from using a trans student’s pronouns. Where the Heritage Foundation-organized document differs from Trump’s anti-LGBTQ+ platform, it is in its discussion of marriage: While Trump avoids the topic of gay marriage, Project 2025 confidently states that “married men and women are the ideal, natural family structure.”

The policy agendas of both Agenda 47 and Project 2025 regarding LGBTQ+ (and especially trans rights) are major concern, should Donald Trump get back into office.

While there is significant overlap between Heritage’s Project 2025 and Trump’s Agenda 47, both have slightly different priorities regarding the LGBTQ+ issue, whereas A47 deemphasizes opposition to marriage equality and P2025 embraces it.

Outdated grooming policies banning natural Black hairstyles have fueled racial inequities in schools and workplaces for too long. However, a new wave of legislative reforms and public advocacy aims to finally dismantle this form of discrimination. The CROWN Act (Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair) has emerged as a legislative solution, prohibiting race-based hair discrimination. To date, the CROWN Act has been enacted in 24 states and numerous municipalities but has stalled in the U.S. Senate after passing through the House. Additionally, some state-level versions of the CROWN Act still enable discriminatory targeting of Black hairstyles.

In Texas, the CROWN Act left loopholes allowing bans on hair longer than two inches, which explicitly singles out and prohibits natural Black hairstyles like afros and dreadlocks on male students. By failing to bar restrictive policies on length and color, Texas’ version of the CROWN Act falls short of fully preventing race-based hair discrimination. Such gaps at the state level undermine the spirit of the CROWN Act and must be addressed through truly comprehensive reforms that protect all facets of Black hair. This gap between legislative success and real-world implementation, as evidenced by the suspension of a Texas student months after the Act’s passage, highlights the need for comprehensive legislation to fully address hair discrimination. Moving forward, legislation must address hair length, color, texture, and style to create truly inclusive policies without loopholes that permit discrimination.

Hair policies that regulate length and color have specifically targeted Black students, leading to disproportionate discipline and loss of educational opportunities. National data reveal that while Black students represent 15% of the K–12 population, they account for 31% of all school suspensions. Black students nationwide are missing nearly three times as many school days due to suspension as white students, accounting for a disproportionate number of the total 11 million days of lost instruction. In one school district in Texas, research from the Center for Justice Research at Texas Southern University found that Black students are seven times more likely to be suspended compared to white students, often for discretionary, minor behavioral infractions. Repeated suspensions increase the risk of falling behind, dropping out, and having contact with the juvenile justice system. In fact, one study revealed a concerning cycle—students who were suspended from school were seven percent more likely to later have contact with the juvenile justice system. Moreover, once these students returned to their schools after suspension, they were 20% more likely than their peers to face another suspension.

The consequences of hair discrimination extend beyond the classroom. A 2021 study found that Black women with natural hairstyles are less likely to be recommended for a job interview compared to white women with curly or straightened hair. Natural hairstyles like dreadlocks were deemed less professional. This employment discrimination limits economic mobility and forces Black women to incur the financial and health burdens of damaging chemical treatments, including increased uterine cancer risk from chemical straighteners.

To achieve the goal of ending hair discrimination, the CROWN Act must expand to cover all facets of hair style and presentation without exceptions, such as those found in the Texas version. Congress should pass the federal CROWN Act, joining states like Colorado and New Jersey in enacting more comprehensive bills that close loopholes. Enforcement will also require dedicated resources and training. School administrators must learn how to shift away from punitive dress codes toward supportive, culturally-informed policies. Human resource professionals need guidance on removing Eurocentric appearance standards from hiring and grooming practices.

The CROWN Act reflects an important step towards ending race-based hair discrimination. However, true progress requires closing loopholes that allow for continued disproportionate enforcement against Black students and workers. Comprehensive legislation coupled with proper training and enforcement provides a path forward to ending harmful policies rooted in white supremacist standards. Schools and workplaces must move beyond narrow beauty norms towards valuing diversity in how individuals present themselves. This includes embracing and protecting all hair lengths, textures, and colors.

Why it matters

Hair discrimination limits educational attainment, career opportunities, and economic mobility for Black Americans. It also exacts a psychological and physical health toll by forcing assimilation to white beauty standards. The CROWN Act has the potential to eliminate centuries-old institutional policies and stereotypes that perpetuate racial inequities and trauma.

However, achieving this goal depends on enacting legislation that fully encompasses all facets of hair, including length, texture, color, and style. Comprehensive legal protections coupled with training and enforcement can help create more inclusive environments, where individuals are empowered to show up authentically. Getting the CROWN Act right matters for racial justice and equality of opportunity.

About your "raising the age of adulthood" thing, I have two main points to make (although it should be noted that I'm 19 and therefore probably don't have a super objective viewpoint). First, what are these 18-20yo minors supposed to be doing with their time? The current age of adulthood roughly coincides with the end of high school. There's a fairly clear expectation of what you're supposed to do when you're a minor: you go to school. You said that the child labor laws would be kept as-is (1/?)

And simply extended to cover 18-20 year olds, so clearly they won’t be getting full-time jobs. You could extend high school by another few years. That would probably be worth it if they taught John Locke and Milton Friedman, but we both know that it would probably be John Money and Ibram X. Kendi instead. Some people do start college as minors, usually those who’ve skipped a grade or two, so that might still be an option, but not everyone wants to go to college—I certainly don't, at least (2/?)

not right now. Are they expected to sit in their parents’ basements and scroll through TikTok all day? Granted, many of them do that already, but it’s not the kind of behavior that should be encouraged, which leads me to my second point. I understand the frustration with people who don’t want to act like adults, but this approach seems to condone their attitudes; basically, it implies “you’re right, you shouldn’t be expected to act like adults.” If we adjusted the age of majority based on (3/4)

whether or not people wanted to act like adults, we would stop being minors around the time we started receiving Social Security checks. I’m not totally sure what the proper solution would be, but I’m leaning more towards “tell them to grow the heck up” rather than “affirm their extended adolescence.” (4/4)

Dear god, tumblr, please extend the length of asks, lol

Okay, I already kind of answered this earlier, but when you go to college has nothing to do with being a legal adult. The minimum age for most colleges is 17 to enroll, but they almost all make exceptions for students who skipped grades and homeschool students. I would also never support adding more grades to high school. Especially not public high school. You did, however, make me think of an interesting possibility.

See, going to college right out of high school is a terrible idea. You're asking 16 and 17 year olds to decide what they want to do with the rest of their lives and then asking them to get into debt in order to do it. One of the few things Europe does right is the gap year. It's the year after college when students travel or work or just take time to themselves to decompress from high school before going to college. We don't do that here. Here K-12 school is one big assembly line straight to college. But if the legal age of adulthood was 21, that might eventually lead to a few buffer years before college. Years to work part time and save money for college or for moving out of the house. Years to take time to enjoy the last bit of childhood so you're not thrown straight into college right out of high school.

Now, to be clear, I'm not saying this should be legally mandated. But it's a cultural shift I could see happening in the future as a potential consequence of having a few more years of legal childhood after high school ends.

Digital Teacher Learning App

Code and Pixels is recognized as one of the “10 Most promising K-12 Tech Service Providers-2017” by Silicon India Magazine.

You may have given wonderful gifts to your child to make him/her happy. But this time, for a change, GIFT your child a ‘Bundle of Knowledge’ that will transform him/her from an ordinary student to a brilliant performer in school.

Why Tuitions

Tuitions are basically meant to recall the subject that was taught in the class. Understanding ability of each student will be different in classroom. Despite sincere attempt by School class teacher, one student may understand 90% in classroom and another student may understand only 60% in classroom. Tuitions are meant to fill the knowledge gap. Whatever student could not understand in the class should be covered in the Tuitions. If “xyz” topic is taught in the School today then the same “xyz” topic must be taught in the tuition so that student will get 100% knowledge about the subject. Some parents want to engage their children in a useful manner. Instead of wasting the time, parents prefer to have their children get involved in educational activities after school hours.

Where Tuitions are failing:

Child spends 8+ hours of his time in school with almost 8 different types of teachers to educate him/her. Each teacher has his/her own method of teaching. As we have learnt, Tuitions are basically meant for revision of subject or recall of subject, what is taught on that particular day in school, but not to learn the actual subject. In the tuitions, the student is expected to recall what he learnt in the school. But, Tuition teacher is repeating the same full-length class again in the tuition on the particular concept in his/her own way which will be different from school teaching in many ways. The way, approach, method that the Tuition teacher delivers his/her lectures to a student will contradict that of the School teacher. This will confuse the student in understanding the concept. If School teacher and Tuition teacher are not on the same wavelength then student will undergo huge mental tension and get into a confused state as to whom to follow and end up with poor learning. If the classroom has 25 students, then tuitions are also having 10 - 20 people in one batch. As a parent, the purpose of sending our children for tuition is to get personal attention. In 10 - 20 members, how do you expect to get personal attention for your child? At least in school class everyone is from the same class whereas in tuition 20 members will belong to different classes. Tuition time may be around 2 hours. How much time will the tuition teacher personally spend with your child? One teacher cannot handle all the subjects efficiently. You cannot expect a Tuition teacher to be an expert in all subjects. Generally, Maths and Sciences are covered in Tuitions. What about other subjects which are equally important?

DIGITAL SOLUTION for Tuition Problems:

Digital Teacher App is the only solution. DVD /USB versions are being used by thousands of children and now, Android based APP version is available for ease of usage. Thousands of parents have trusted DIGITAL TEACHER and purchased to their children as a supplementary learning tool. Computers and gadgets fascinate children. Instead of humans teaching tuitions, they prefer a gadget teaching them. Theory and concepts are depicted in 2D/3D animations so that there will not be any misunderstanding of a concept. Student can repeat the topics any number of times till he/she is satisfied. Not only Maths and Physical Science but they can also learn Biology, English and Social Studies.( AP and Telangana Board) The new education system allows students to write the answer in their own words about the topic rather than using the bookish language. Once a student understands the topic, he can present it in his/her own way in exams. Students can learn any time at any place, any subject, any topic, and any number of times. Let us look at the financial aspect of this software. The Monthly Tuition Fees per student is Rs.1500/- (average). So, the annual fees is Rs. 18,000/. Digital Teacher is offered at Rs.200/- per month which for 10 months it costs Rs. 2000/- only BENEFIT: This amount is for five subjects which means you spend just Rs.40/- (Rs.200/5) per subject every month. And in the bargain, get the best educational platform for your child’s future.

ABOUT APP

The conventional ways of instruction have always left a huge gap in teaching-learning experience isolating the teacher from the students.A typical student may not properly comprehend and visualize what the teacher delivers in the classroom using words and static pictures without proper care about individual differences visualizing ability and the pace of learning.In this scenario, a weak student is left behind and feels neglected.Digital Teacher App is an animated, self-learning multimedia solution, which increases the interest levels and the retention power of the students.Critical concepts are being developed and packaged using multimedia based digital solutions.

Education Software Development and it's Cost with Benefit

What is Education Software Development?

Education software development is the process of creating applications and platforms aimed at easing and enriching learning experiences. This can also mean a whole collection of tools: learning management systems, e-learning platforms, educational games, and mobile learning apps—essentially, solutions targeting different educational sectors, starting from K–12 through higher education and into professional training.

The aim is to make it more accessible, engaging, and efficient. The state-of-the-art education software incorporates advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and virtual reality to personalize learning with interactive content. Different styles of learning are catered to, and it helps the teachers in monitoring the progress of the students, noticing pitfalls, and hence changing the way of teaching methodology. Such platforms integrate collaborative tools, enhancing communication and collaboration between students and educators.

This makes education software development complex, for it requires in-depth knowledge of educational theories, user experience design, and the latest technological trends in order to come up with effective, yet user-friendly, solutions. Because of the continuous transferring of education to online platforms, the demand for new and dependable education software has grown, making it an integral part of the contemporary learning environment.

Costs and Benefits of Education Software Development:

The cost of educational software development varies greatly depending on the application's level of complexity and functionality. Those basic educational applications with common features will cost you $10,000 to $50,000. Further, the complex platforms offering advanced functionalities—AI-based, gamification, and VR—are more expensive, ranging from $50,000 to $200,000 or more. This, despite being a very huge investment, has substantial benefits.

It can also back administration tasks, hence decreasing the workload of educators and allowing them to further focus on teaching. It gives personalized learning experiences, making provision for different learning paces and styles possible for the achievement of better student outcomes. Most of these platforms also have analysis tools that allow educators to track progress and enable data-driven decisions. On the part of the student, the interactive and engaging nature of education software makes learning more enjoyable and effective.

Also, online learning makes education more accessible. Now, it can reach more people, particularly those living in remote or unserved areas. Besides, educational software can implement lifelong learning whereby a person can continue learning new things and getting new knowledge and skills all their lives. All in all, investment in the development of education software pays off in better quality, inclusivity, and efficiency in education.

How to Code Education Software Development?

Coding education software involves several steps, starting with defining the project requirements and understanding the target audience. Developers need to choose the right technology stack, which may include programming languages like JavaScript, Python, or Swift and frameworks like React Native for mobile apps or Django for web applications. The development process typically follows an agile methodology, allowing for iterative development and continuous feedback. Some of the features include intuitive front-ends, interactive content, and robust back-ends for data management and analytics.

AI and ML integration can deliver highly personalized learning experiences, while VR and AR can create extremely immersive environments for learning. The most important thing, however, is security: it has to be of top consideration when handling sensitive data about the students. Strong authentication and encryption mechanisms are important in this respect. This can be further enhanced by various collaboration features such as video conferencing, discussion forums, and shared documents to aid communication and collaboration during the learning process.

Testing is necessary to ensure that the developed software has no bugs and also to assure better performance on various devices and multiple platforms. Developers, at last, need to provide complete documentation and customer support so that educators and students can take the maximum from the software. Successful development of education software needs a combination of technical expertise, educational inputs, and user-centered design.  

Why invest in Education Software Development Companies in India?

There are several advantages associated with investing in any education software development company in India. First and foremost, India has a huge pool of highly talented IT professionals who are proficient in the latest technologies and trends. This implies that the quality of the software developed would be high, embedded with state-of-the-art features. The cost of development in India is also very low compared to Western countries, hence representing great value for money.

Indian companies have a very good record for timeliness and cost control, making them reliable partners for long-term projects. Admittedly, India's flourishing education sector has been driven by its youth, tech-savvy population, fast-growing internet penetration, and government policies pushing for online learning. These create fertile ground for innovation and growth in education technology. These represent companies that not only support the development of new and effective learning solutions but also tap immense potential markets.

This is further supported by the flexibility and client needs-oriented approach of Indian companies, which would enable the software solutions to meet the exact requirements of educators and learners worldwide. Thus, investment in India's development companies for education software is a strategic move toward earning returns with a difference for the global advancement of education technology.
