Operation Education: Local district among highest ILEARN proficiency in Indiana - WSBT

Todd Hughes has a complicated relationship with Danish. The 64-year-old can read a Danish novel without much trouble. But put him in a room full of native speakers, and the plot thickens. His Danish dilemma illustrates the difference between sounding fluent and actually becoming proficient. Technology can help someone learn vocabulary, practice skills, or move smoothly through a translated exchange. But proficiency is about what someone can actually do across reading, writing, listening, and speaking—and communicating proficiently still requires navigating another person.

Montreal police say four people were arrested on Saturday afternoon during a protest denouncing misconduct by some of the force’s officers, including allegations that an officer urinated on unhoused people. Montreal police spokesperson Johany Charland said three people were arrested for assaulting officers and another for obstructing police, and that a 66-year-old bystander was injured.

Nevada turned a close game into a 28–13 Homecoming win over San José State on Saturday at Mackay Stadium, scoring three second half touchdowns. The Spartans received the opening kickoff but went three-and-out after Nevada linebacker Dylan LaBarbera brought down quarterback Daniel Rolovich on third down. The Wolf Pack answered with a 16-play, 72-yard drive. Luke Duncan converted multiple third-and-long situations, and running back Herschel Turner broke off several strong runs before Duncan connected with wide receiver Marshaun Brown for a touchdown. After both teams traded quick possessions, Nevada opened the second quarter with the ball. San José State defensive back Jayden Robertson intercepted a deep pass from Duncan, but the turnover did not lead to points. The teams continued to exchange punts, and Nevada’s attempt to convert fourth-and-1 with a direct snap to Dominic Kelley was stopped for a loss. The Spartans moved into Nevada territory in the closing seconds of the first half, and Trajan Sinatra made a 27-yard field goal to cut the Wolf Pack’s lead to four. Neither offense found much momentum early in the second half.

For commissioner Rob Manfred and the owners he represents, it’s the other side of the coin. “It’s good for baseball to have two small markets like this,” Manfred said. “It shows that we leave a lot on the table in some of our smaller markets by not having them have an opportunity to compete on a regular basis.”Get 108 StitchesReceive the Globe's best reporting and commentary on the Red Sox every weekday.

Players Association chief Bruce Meyer doesn’t believe that’s necessary. “None of this has to be happening,” Meyer said. “The owners made a choice. They’re going to make a choice, presumably to lock the players out. They’re not required to do that. They’re apparently going to once again.”Meyer is the interim head of the union, taking the job in February after Tony Clark resigned amidst a scandal. He’s tasked with finding a way to make a deal without accepting a salary cap, something the Players Association has resisted for decades.
