As someone who works in public education, I 💯% agree, but do want to add that it’s not the students, parents, teachers, or admins who want that.
Every standardized test we do (and there are a lot of them) is an exhausting and stressful operation that feels more like a distraction from school, rather than an assessment of its efficacy.
The school boards are the policy makers; and at least around here, they’re all gunning for local political offices next, if they’re not already one-foot-on-the-platform.

Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related•More than 100 sickened in norovirus outbreak aboard Caribbean Princess cruiseEnglish
1·7 days agoIf you’re not turned off to cruises yet by all the news reports, then I highly recommend watching Triangle of Sadness to put the final nails in that coffin.
I did one cruise with friends back in 2018ish, returned home with the worst sore throat and sinus congestion I’ve ever experienced. The food was 10/10 though.

Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related•Global race under way to trace passengers who left hantavirus ship before outbreak confirmedEnglish
2·9 days agoI mean I always assumed the hentavirus was transmitted purely from being in direct contact with mouse/rat piss or you got bit by one.
I believe that is usually the case for hentavirus, but this “Andes” strain is an exception:
The Andes hantavirus can spread among humans through very close contact, but is less contagious than Covid. There are no vaccines.

Before watching the trailer, just for fun, my guess:
Mild sci-fi fantasy peril, the baby Yoda eats something yucky and ethically questionable, there’s a new bad guy who hopes that nobody finds out about his secret weakness, twelve pages of new mandolorian lore that retcons a bunch of stuff from the other movies, mando figures out the bad guys weakness and baby Yoda uses the force the movie ends just as we introduce some other baby Star wars critter.
After watching the trailer:
Hm. Yeah, I have no idea what this movie is gonna be about.
