Stop the rush to push reception kids into formal learning

The autumn term now begins very differently to how it once did for many reception teachers. They often welcome children who, for many reasons, are not always able to access “school life” in the way their predecessors once could. They increasingly face challenges linked to speech and language delays, emotional regulation difficulties, an over-dependence on adults and an unfamiliarity with collaborative play. Source link

What’s the Rush? Why Some People Choose to Stay Single

What’s the Rush? Why Some People Choose to Stay Single

Published by Jenni Sidey

Many singles have weathered the question from close friends and family members: “You aren’t married yet?” Often, singles who face this inquiry are the ones who seem to be completely satisfied with singlehood—much to the dismay of parents eager to become grandparents. Happy single riders are not always averse to partnering up; they are just not in any rush. Research reveals some of the reasons behind the will to wait. Avoiding the Rush and Enjoying the Ride Leah E. LeFebvre and Heather A. Love (2026) explored the reasons for choosing to be single among 369 college students, including reasons for never having become involved romantically.[i] They found that young people who had never been in a romantic relationship reported a lesser degree of relationship readiness as well as less dating and romantic experiences overall compared with their peers, as well as their own ideals. However, this group was also more likely to anticipate having more future dating prospects. Why the hesitation? LeFebvre and Love found that social context and apprehensiveness were among the primary themes …

AI gold rush sends San Francisco rents soaring

AI gold rush sends San Francisco rents soaring

Published by Sam Flores

In San Francisco’s latest real estate boom, renters are paying cash up front, multimillion-dollar houses are selling auction-style and AI company stock can buy a sprawling hilltop estate. It’s a reflection of the new wave of wealth from the artificial intelligence industry, leaving even well-paid newcomers scrambling for a place to live. For Jenni Lee, a Chicago tech worker seeking to join her boyfriend in the Bay Area, finding an apartment has at times felt more difficult than getting a job. She has spent six months searching for a San Francisco rental, flying in for tours and repeatedly losing out on offers, even after the couple almost doubled their budget to $6,500 a month for a two-bedroom. In Illinois, her friends were living in desirable places for less than half that. At one point she showed up to what she thought was a private appointment just to wait in line and later find out someone had already signed a lease. One $7,000-a-month home didn’t have a washer-dryer — though the touring agent assured her there …

Trump: No rush on Iran deal, as Netanyahu demands end to nuclear threat | US-Israel war on Iran News

U.S. President Donald Trump has said he has told his diplomatic representatives not to rush into a deal with Iran, while boasting that the negotiations represent the “exact opposite” of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which he described as “one of the worst deals ever made by our Country.” “The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of list Trump contrasted the current talks with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) negotiated under former President Barack Obama, which he said was “a direct path to Iran developing a Nuclear Weapon”. “Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one,” Trump said. “They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb.” Trump thanked “all of the countries of the Middle East for their support and cooperation”. Earlier Trump had said he concluded a …

The haves and have nots of the AI gold rush

Published by skeptic

The vibes around the current AI boom aren’t great, even in the tech industry, according to a lengthy social media post from Menlo Ventures partner Deedy Das.  Das described San Francisco as “pretty frenetic right now,” as “the divide in outcomes is the worst I’ve ever seen.” Using a “back of the envelope AI calculation,” he projected that there are around 10,000 people — founders and employees at companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Nvidia — that have “hit retirement wealth of well above $20M,” while everyone else worries “they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and never get there.” Plus, “layoffs are in full swing,” and “many software engineers feel that their life’s skill is no longer useful,” leading to confusion about the best career paths and “a deep malaise about work (and its future),” Das said.  This prompted some eye-rolling on X, with entrepreneur Deva Hazarika arguing that “most of the people in this post” are “incredibly fortunate and can simply make a choice to be happy.” Another user suggested …

Senate’s Rush To Regulate AI Chatbots Is Bad For Everybody

Senate’s Rush To Regulate AI Chatbots Is Bad For Everybody

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by John Coleman via RealClearPolitics, The dawn of the AI era has sparked a wide range of reactions, from exhilaration over the technology’s capabilities to deep distress.  Such responses to a new communicative tool are nothing new, and indeed, AI presents new and unique challenges that will require deep thought and sensitivity. But a heavy-handed congressional response that erodes longstanding American freedoms isn’t the answer. The Senate Judiciary Committee’s markup and passage last week of SB 3062, the GUARD Act, shows the substantial risk that Congress’s “do something” energy poses to the speech rights of everyone.  The bill regulates AI chatbots – especially so-called “AI companion” systems – through access limits, design mandates, and disclosure requirements, backed by civil and criminal penalties of up to $100,000 per violation. If enacted, it puts the federal officials squarely in the position of deciding how this technology is built and used, limiting engagement with information and compelling speech along the way. Growing calls for a federal solution, including from the White House, to fix the fragmented landscape …
