Kids and Tech
Featured in Top Stories
High tech gadgets are topping holiday wish lists. Most are loaded with games and apps designed to captivate their users. They are also powerful educational instruments. For decades teachers taught the "three r's" using books, papers, pencils and chalkboards. Those methods now share classrooms with high tech devices some fear are more toy than teaching tool, but that educators say are changing the way students learn.

Teen Pregnancy
Featured in Top Stories
In 2008 more than twice as many teenage girls gave birth in Oklahoma as were in the combined fall freshman classes of OU and OSU. So far this year more than 5,000 teens have given birth. For one in five it wasn't her first child. That has the health department and some school districts looking for new ways to prevent teen pregnancies. In both 2010 and 2011 the State Health Department spent just under $430,000 on teen pregnancy prevention education. Since participation is not mandatory, only schools in Ottawa and Pittsburg counties used the programs. In January, schools in Hughes, Choctaw and McCurtain counties will begin offering courses. Schools in Tulsa and Oklahoma counties use the federally funded "prep" program.

NCLB Waiver
Featured in Top Stories
Oklahoma educators are waiting to see whether requirements of the No Child Left Behind law will be waived by the federal government. A waiver would allow Oklahoma to avoid the requirements of a law that has been widely criticized by educators since it was enacted. However, the waiver request itself is being criticized in part because of the power it would give state officials to take-over locally-controlled public schools.

It's estimated one student drops out of high school every 27 seconds in America. Black, Hispanic and students from poor families have the highest drop out rates. It may surprise you to learn the same student can be counted as a drop out multiple times... While many students that receive high school diplomas are never counted as graduates.

OETA Interim Study

Budget cuts have impacted nearly all state agencies over the last three years. While state revenues are rebounding now, budget cuts may not be over for some state agencies, including OETA.

Homeschool Rules (10:18)
Featured in Top Stories
An estimated 20,000 students are homeschooled statewide each year. In Oklahoma, parents are not required to prove they are homeschooling or how well they are educating their children. Homeschool advocates want to keep it that way but that opens up questions about whether the state is fulfilling its obligation under the law to ensure all children are properly educated.

Emancipated Children (8:01)
Featured in Top Stories
As most Oklahoma children are settling back into the school year their biggest worries are who they'll sit with at lunch or if the other kids will like them. But for a growing number of students they're facing much bigger concerns such as where they'll sleep that night or if they'll have food to eat after school. The State Department of Education is reporting more than 15,000 students are considered homeless according to federal guidelines. And the trend does not seem to be slowing down.
