The World’s Largest Tropical Wetland
Has Become an Inferno
This year, roughly a quarter of the vast Pantanal wetland
in Brazil, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, has burned
in wildfires worsened by climate change. What happens to a rich
and unique biome when so much is destroyed?
The unprecedented fires in the wetland have attracted less
attention than blazes in Australia, the Western United States and
the Amazon, its celebrity sibling to the north. But while the
Pantanal is not a global household name, tourists in the know
flock there because it is home to exceptionally high
concentrations of breathtaking wildlife: Jaguars, tapirs,
endangered giant otters and bright blue hyacinth macaws. Like a
vast tub, the wetland swells with water during the rainy season
and empties out during the dry months. Fittingly, this rhythm has
a name that evokes a beating heart: the flood pulse.
The wetland, which is larger than Greece and stretches
over parts of Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia, also offers unseen
gifts to a vast swath of South America by regulating the water
cycle upon which life depends. Its countless swamps, lagoons
and tributaries purify water and help prevent floods and droughts.
They also store untold amounts of carbon, helping to stabilize the
climate.
For centuries, ranchers have used fire to clear fields and
new land. But this year, drought worsened by climate change
turned the wetlands into a tinderbox and the fires raged out of
control.

Why Joe Biden Saw Mixed Success With Latinos
Democrats' long-term hopes for electoral success have
long cited the growing Latino population in the country. But
former Vice President Joe Biden's performance in heavily Latino
areas of key states has concerned members of his party — and
may have cost him Electoral College votes, according to groups
and activists working to mobilize Latino voters.
Nationally, Biden appears to have gotten support from
roughly twice as many Latino voters as President Trump, but that
support looked very different depending on where you looked in
three key states with large Latino populations.
Democrats were pleased with their performance in
Arizona, where The Associated Press awarded Biden the state's
11 electoral votes early Wednesday morning, while anxiety ran
high about the results in Florida, where President Trump's
strength with conservative Cuban American voters helped secure
him that state's 29 electoral votes, according to AP. And while
Texas was a long shot for Biden, Democrats had seen
opportunity in the explosive growth in the state's Latino
population.
During a post-election virtual press conference on
Wednesday, leaders from groups aimed at mobilizing Latino
voters expressed frustration that the votes of Latinos were not
more aggressively pursued, even as they cheered record levels of
turnout among Latinos in some key states.

It was Maria’s first day at school, her first week in the United States. Her middle school in San Francisco was the biggest building she’d ever seen. It was bigger than the entire Best Buy store she’d walked through in awe on her first day in the city.
Text 3A2-II
It was Maria’s first day at school, her first week in the United States. Her middle school in San Francisco was the biggest building she’d ever seen. It was bigger than the entire Best Buy store she’d walked through in awe on her first day in the city.
Eventually, Maria found her way to class, a special setting
for Spanish-speaking newcomers. There she would practice
English words for colors and numbers, learn how to introduce
herself and how to say thank you. By eighth grade she was
moved into mainstream classes, where she struggled. It didn’t
help that her math teacher started each class by saying, “Okay,
my little dummies.” He spoke really fast. Maria never raised her
hand in his class.
One day Maria stopped by the administrative office,
looking for someone to help her with multiplication. She took her
spot in line behind a middle-aged woman who chatted with her in
Spanish as they waited. Maria said school was really hard for
her. The woman told her not to worry. “Latinas usually don’t
finish high school,” she said. “They go to work or raise kids.”
The woman was right, statistically speaking, and Maria’s
middle-school experience all but ensured she’d join the 52
percent of foreign-born Latinos who drop out of high school. She
graduated from eighth grade without learning to speak English.
She had a hard time writing in Spanish and didn’t know how to
multiply.
Everything you’ve heard about failing schools is wrong.

“Millions of children, every year, start school excited about what they will learn, but quickly become disillusioned when they get the idea they are not as ‘smart’ as others,” writes Jo Boaler. That’s because parents and teachers inadvertently give out the message that talent is inborn — you either have it or you don’t.
Text 3A2-I
“Millions of children, every year, start school excited about what they will learn, but quickly become disillusioned when they get the idea they are not as ‘smart’ as others,” writes Jo Boaler. That’s because parents and teachers inadvertently give out the message that talent is inborn — you either have it or you don’t.
As a math professor, Boaler has seen this firsthand. Many
young adults enter her class anxious about math, and their fear
about learning impacts their ability to learn.
“The myth that our brains are fixed and that we simply
don’t have the aptitude for certain topics is not only scientifically
inaccurate; it is omnipresent and negatively impacts not only
education, but many other events in our everyday lives,” she
writes. Even though the science of neuroplasticity — how our
brains change in response to learning — suggests learning can
take place at any age, this news has not made it into classrooms,
she argues.
Some of our misguided visions of talent have led to racist
and sexist attitudes, she writes. For example, many girls get the
message early on that math is for boys and that boys are better at
it, interfering with their ability to succeed and leading to gender
disparities in fields of study related to math. Similarly, people of
color may also have to overcome stereotypes about fixed
intelligence in order to thrive.
How understanding your brain can help you learn.
