Educators are questioning whether violence directed at teachers — from verbal abuse to physical attacks — has been normalized in schools and society at large. The discussion highlights concern that incidents are underreported, consequences are minimal, and public reaction is muted, leaving many teachers feeling unprotected and demanding stronger institutional and legal responses.

- 5Schoolchildren without smartphones face higher bus fares in England●Schoolchildren without smartphones penalised with higher bus fares
Schoolchildren in England who do not own a smartphone are being charged higher bus fares than their peers, the Guardian reports. Discounted child fare schemes often require payment or ticket verification through a smartphone app, leaving children without devices — often because their parents restrict screen use — to pay the full adult-style rate.

A Quanta Magazine article explaining the holographic principle in physics is being discussed on Hacker News. The idea is that gravity in a volume of space can be described by information encoded on that volume's boundary, as in the AdS/CFT correspondence, suggesting three-dimensional reality may emerge from lower-dimensional information. Commenters on the post are debating what this implies about the fundamental nature of space, time and whether reality is a projection.
