East students should not take after-school jobs

Many people have after-school jobs, but I have never felt like getting one was the right choice for me. I think having a job can definitely be a great experience, but I also think it can take away from a lot of other important parts of life. There are already many commitments that take up a lot of time outside of school, and adding a job could just make it even harder to manage everything.

Top NJ high school soccer coach suspended in champagne controversy as defenders slam ‘absolutely pathetic’ punishment

The coach of the No. 1 girls high school soccer team in New Jersey has been suspended after popping champagne on school grounds following a milestone victory. Paul VI coach Karen Anderson will serve a one-game ban after a video was posted on social media showing her celebrating with what appeared to be a champagne bottle following her 100th career victory Thursday, according to NJ.com . Paul VI, the two-time defending state champions, defeated Notre Dame, 2-0, in the South Jersey Non-Public A quarterfinals. Anderson will serve her suspension when Paul VI (21-1) faces Immaculata (14-4-1) in a sectional semifinal matchup on Monday in Haddonfield. Karen Anderson was suspended for one playoff game after alleged champagne celebration. Karen Patruno Anderson/Facebook “While Coach Anderson did not consume the contents of the bottle, Paul VI does not condone this behavior and recognizes the importance of upholding the standards of conduct expected of our coaches,” Paul VI said Friday in a statement. High school football scandal explodes over woman’s secret recording of player’s grandfather The video has since been deleted from social media, and Anderson told the news outlet that she did not drink from the bottle that team parents gave her after

Op-Ed: Improving NJ schools must include efforts to desegregate them

Under her leadership, the department is inviting stakeholders into important conversations about school funding, expanding educational opportunities, and improving student achievement. Now is the time to bring a long-neglected issue to the table: the harm racial and economic segregation inflicts on children and the significant benefits that more integrated schools can offer all students.

Pennsylvania state officials have proposed changing how they score students’ performance on state math and reading tests, making it easier for students to be considered “advanced.” The proposal , which Pennsylvania Department of Education officials shared with the state’s Board of Education Thursday, would have implications for how the state measures student achievement and schools’ success, and would apply to tests students took months ago. It comes after months of uncertainty over delayed test results in Philadelphia, where families and teachers have repeatedly asked officials to release the scores they usually get in August. State officials acknowledged the department’s cut score review contributed to the wait. “This delayed reporting. It’s not great timing,” Brian Campbell, director of the Department of Education’s bureau of curriculum, assessment, and instruction, told board members Thursday. But he said the state was overdue in updating score thresholds set more than a decade ago, and this would create “a new baseline.” Students take state tests every spring to evaluate whether
