Beskrivelse

Lawrence Public Schools is shutting down personal tech in classrooms—no phones or gadgets allowed during school hours, thanks to a new state law signed by Governor Laura Kelly. The policy, now live for all students from kindergarten to senior year, aims to eliminate distractions and refocus learning. Exceptions apply only for students with IEPs or medical needs. This bold move signals a return to basics, with teachers and students adjusting to a quieter, more intentional classroom environment.

Manhattan Apartment Fire Overnight | Topeka News

Manhattan Fire Department raced to a blazing apartment building on Walters Drive Monday night, battling flames and smoke from the second floor and attic—eventually bringing the fire under control after ten minutes, despite scorching 112-degree heat. Thankfully, everyone, including a dog, escaped unharmed. Three apartments are now uninhabitable, displacing four people and the pup, with the Red Cross stepping in for support. Damage estimates hit $40K in personal belongings and $100K in structural damage, with investigators still probing the balcony-origin fire—no foul play suspected. Other agencies including Riley County Fire, EMS, and police assisted with medical aid, air tanks, and traffic control. Everyone’s safe, but the aftermath’s tough.

When Teachers Break the Rules | Topeka News

It’s wild how the very lessons we’re drilled into as kids—like “keep your hands to yourself”—often vanish the moment we become adults. Two educators tied to local schools are now facing domestic battery allegations, and the irony hits hard. One’s a paraeducator at Washburn Rural, the other once subbed at Seaman and may soon be at Northern Hills. These are just allegations—innocent until proven guilty—but the contrast is jarring: adults teaching kids emotional control while allegedly violating it themselves. Kids learn more by watching than listening, and when teachers don’t model the behavior they preach, the message crumbles. The real life skills? They’re not taught in classrooms—they’re learned in the messy, imperfect moments between adults and children. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
