We haven’t lost anyone yet, but an EdTech company has painted a compelling picture of this as a possible future problem that can be pre-solved with EdTech. Therefore, we’re pleased to introduce some cutting-edge yet profoundly user-unfriendly technology.
You’ve already been given an app for reluctantly volunteering to run the book fair, an app for viewing your kid’s hastily prepared report cards, and an app for lodging complaints about our apps. Effective immediately, we’ll also be tracking your child’s whereabouts on three additional apps.

No, you can’t just call the office to tell Marjorie your kid is sick; you’ll need to call the office to retrieve your PITA login information, then log in to PITA to tell PITA your kid is sick.

If you’ve been lying awake worrying about creeping authoritarianism, economic collapse, or climate disasters, have you stopped to consider that in our lifetime, some small fraction of humanity may reside beyond Earth’s atmosphere?
I mean, picture it: By 2050, as global temperatures blow past the 1.5C target set by the now-abandoned Paris Climate Accord, there may be millions of people living in space.

After the diagnosis, my doctor suggested immediately that I see the diabetes nurse-practitioner specialist in their practice. It took some time get an appointment with him, so I saw him first in mid-April 2025.
