A principal in Nepal saved 900 students before the school was washed away by floods
After receiving a phone call warning him that flash floods were headed toward his school, principal Rajendra Dawadi immediately stopped classes to evacuate the 900 students on campus to higher ground.
Around 13 minutes later, water, mud, and debris swept through the area, destroying the school in seconds. Dawadi also called the bus drivers transporting more of his students to tell them to stay away from the area, likely saving even more lives.
The latest reports say the flash floods in Nepal have now killed more than 1,000 people, and thousands more are still missing.
Even better: Dawadi said rescuing his students didn’t make him a hero, it was his responsibility. He’s urging the government to now provide the students with counseling and get them back into school as soon as possible, even if it means relocating temporarily.
Nearly 100 students from all 50 states created a national policy framework for AI use in schools
People have varying opinions about what AI use in schools should look like — or if it has a place at all. A group of 98 students hailing from all 50 U.S. states spent three days in Boston creating, debating, and voting on a national policy framework.
Their conclusions: It should emphasize human relationships and judgment, protect the learning process, allow students to build skills for appropriate use, and preserve students’ and educators’ right to refuse to use it.
The student-crafted guidance comes at a time when districts are creating their own policies and guidelines, and the framework will be distributed to a network of over 10,000 school and district leaders. The student creators will also have the opportunity to personally present the group’s findings.
