What’s the way to equitably close a K-12 campus?
Last spring, Inglewood Unified School District announced it would close five schools amid declining enrollments. This is a trend impacting school districts across the state. There are many reasons for declining enrollment, but the result for all school districts is drastic budget cuts, which in turn leads to school closures. But how should districts go about closing schools in a way that is equitable, not just for students but also for school faculty? Joining us this morning on AirTalk is Carolyn Jones, K-12 education at CalMatters; her latest piece is titled “Fewer kids are going to California public schools. Is there a right way to close campuses?”
Did you just overshare or were you being vulnerable? A therapist shares the difference.
We’ve all been in that situation – you’re at a party or social gathering and someone corners you and divulges the innermost details of their personal life. After the interaction maybe you’re left feeling uncomfortable, confused or worse, deeply triggered. What you likely experienced was something referred to as “oversharing.” We’ve all been both the perpetrators and victims of overshares. But why do we do it? Is it because we’re searching for connection? Or maybe because we’re socially anxious? Why do we overshare and is it even a bad thing? Joining us today on AirTalk to discuss what oversharing is and why we do it is clinical psychologist Nikki Nolet. We also want to hear from you. Are you a chronic oversharer? Or have you been in a situation where someone overshared and it triggered you?
