    Kareem!

    Diggs was always miscast as the straight-edge sex symbol to me. His TikTok saved him for me.

    It was his BEST scene ever...until his TikTok.

    Soon as he got on tik tok I thought of this scene. Realizing that Taye was just being himself.

    In the latest post in my series on enrollment management, I look back to a time before the enrollment management industry existed, when selective private colleges made an extraordinary effort to prevent bidding wars for top students.

    a school library system vendor has "begun working on" the ability to automatically notify parents when their kids check a book out of the school library and to allow parents to prevent kids their kids from checking out books on certain topics. this..............sucks

    Evans said they have contacted Follett, the company that owns Destiny, the software FCS uses to catalog media center offerings, to find a way for parents to have more involvement in what their kids are reading at school. When contacted, the company had already begun working on solutions to complaints they have seen nationwide from parents. One of the solutions being considered is an automatic email notification for parents, which would be sent to them anytime a student checks a book out at school. Evans said the email might include the title of the book, a short description or even tags that are placed on the book in Destiny to distinguish its genre. From this notification, parents can choose to have a conversation with their children about the books they are checking out from school. Another solution they are looking at is restricting students’ access to certain books based on parents’ prior requests. [Example given about parents restricting student access to LGBTQ books]
    Here's an additional write-up that gets more into the details of the upcoming Destiny changes: [Image text in alt text]
