LEGO + ROBOTICS = AWESOME!
5/13/2023 9:50 am
Is your child interested in building? In solving big challenges facing their world? In working in teams, encouraging their friends, listening to new ideas, and having fun? Then the FIRST Lego League is for them. FIRST is an international STEM program that combines robotics, Lego, and problem solving for elementary and middle schoolers. There were only a few elementary level teams in Brookline this year. We would like to spread the word and build more!

Panel on "The Downside of AP" this Thursday
5/9/2023 8:27 am
Brookline High School buys 18 AP courses from the College Board, with 500 students paying to take nearly 1,000 exams each year—contributing to the private company’s $1.1 billion dollar revenue. Critics argue that these test-driven classes favor shallow memorization, and contribute to the high levels of stress that our children experience in the competitive higher education race. And racial disparities continue to plague participation rates and scores—echoing the eugenics-era biases of the College Board’s creators. Come hear Brookline educators and parents reflect on the academic, mental health, and equity aspects of the curriculum, and envision other ways Brookline High School could set our children up for college success. Free, via zoom. Register here.
