In the small town of Paw Paw, Michigan, this fifth-grade teacher eats lunch in the cafeteria every day with his students. He's turned lunchtime into a special moment of connection and community. Meet Dan Shutes, who's been doing this for the last eight years. His routine has become a cherished tradition at his school. He brings his homemade lunch to the cafeteria every day and joins his fifth-grade students.

"I didn't expect a bunch of kids to say, ‘Hey, can you eat lunch with me tomorrow?'" Dan shared. "But that's how it's been." Now, you can find him in the lunchroom up to four times a week, mingling with his students and making the most of these precious moments. For Dan, lunchtime is more than just taking a break when he could catch up on emails, create lesson plans, and grade papers. He sees it as an opportunity to connect with his students on a personal level. "It's a priority for me," he said. "I think it's an easy way to get to know your students beyond just names and test scores." By sitting with his students, he can understand them better, build trust, and make his classroom a welcoming place. He gets to know them, what they like to do, what they don't like about school, and much more. RELATED: Spelling Test Prank is Epically Pulled Off by Elementary School Teacher Dan Moves From Table to Table During lunch, Dan moves from table to table, ensuring he spends time with several students, not just the kids in his class because it makes them feel seen and heard. "Sometimes, students from other classes that I don't actually teach will ask if they can sit with me," he commented. "I try to find time to do that too. It's nice to connect with kids who aren't in my classes but who I see every morning as they walk down the hallway." Dan's dedication has not only touched the lives of his students but also inspired teachers far beyond his hometown. He's shared his story on social media, and teachers from other states and even worldwide have been inspired by his act of kindness through spending free time at lunch with students. Dan Has Created a Lasting Impact Dan's simple yet profound act of caring and sharing lunch with his students has created a lasting impact. It's a reminder of the difference that a little extra time and attention can make in a child's life. In the heart of his school, Dan has turned lunchtime into a powerful tool for connection and encouragement, and his story continues to inspire others to make their own small, meaningful changes in the classroom.

In 2021, Vice President Harris agreed to lead the Administration’s $42B plan to expand the Internet to millions of Americans. It was her job. Not one person has been connected to the Internet, and not one shovel has been put to the ground. Politico recently reported on the “frustration” and “finger-pointing” that now define the […] The post Harris Leads on 2021 Internet Expansion: No One Is Connected appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Ten days have passed since the first and only debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, and the polling in battleground states has remained mostly unchanged, with neither candidate getting much of a bump. Polling averages posted by RealClearPolitics and FiveThirtyEight show that the two candidates are still neck-and-neck in the seven major battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. According to RCP, Harris leads Trump by one-tenth of a percent in the averages of battleground state polling and has seen a slight dip since the September 10 debate on ABC. Trump’s average, meanwhile, is the same as it was 10 days ago. Trump has held onto his slight lead over Harris in Arizona in the days following the debate, while his lead over Harris in Georgia has increased to just over 1 point, per the RCP average. FiveThirtyEight’s polling average also shows Trump remaining in the lead in Georgia, but the candidates are tied in Arizona, with Trump seeing a small dip since the debate. In Nevada, Harris’ average has gone down since the debate, according to RCP, but FiveThirtyEight’s average shows the vice president’s numbers in the state staying the same over the past week while Trump’s average has slightly dipped. The best post-debate polls for Harris came from results in Michigan and Pennsylvania that showed the vice president leading Trump by five points in both states. A Quinnipiac poll of more than 900 likely voters in Michigan showed Harris leading 51% to 46%, while a Quinnipiac poll of more than 1,000 likely Pennsylvania voters put Harris ahead by the same margin. The Quinnipiac results combined with other post-debate polls, however, only slightly moved the needle in Harris’ direction in the two blue wall states. The Democratic nominee’s overall average lead in Pennsylvania since the debate has increased by just over a point while her lead in Michigan has gone up by less than a point since the debate, per FiveThirtyEight.

The debate was viewed by many as lacking in-depth policy discussions, and the ABC News moderators were slammed by conservatives for targeting Trump and favoring Harris in their real-time fact-checks. Trump told Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld on Wednesday night that his “only regret” from the debate was not “going after” moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis for their “wrong” fact-checks. Overall, neither Trump’s nor Harris’ standing in the polling averages of RealClearPolitcs and FiveThirtyEight shows much movement since their face-off on September 10, and neither candidate holds a lead larger than 3 points in any of the battleground states. Trump continues to outperform his polling numbers in battleground states at this point in both 2016 and 2020. His current numbers are 4 points better than where he was polling against President Joe Biden at this point in 2020. Statistician Nate Silver, who founded FiveThirtyEight but now runs his own polling forecast, said on Friday that the latest polling shows “more good than bad for Harris in state polls,” but he added that the race is still a “toss-up.” “When you’re near 50/50, a 1-point shift in the polls = about 8% of win probability shift in November,” Silver wrote. “So easy to end up on either side of the line on any given day.” CHECK OUT THE LATEST POLLS AND CAMPAIGN STORIES ON THE DAILY WIRE’S ELECTION HUB

Doctors are celebrating a successful high-risk separation surgery for conjoined twins. The baby girls, Minal and Mirha, were born “craniopagus twins,” meaning they shared vital brain tissue and blood vessels, per Sky News. After a 14-hour surgery at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital in Turkey on July 19, the girls will likely be able to return home to Pakistan soon. Conjoined twins born with fused brain tissue separated after risky 14-hour surgery: ‘Really wonderful’ https://t.co/Bphz6m5wqJ pic.twitter.com/I5noClPB2M— New York Post (@nypost) September 19, 2024 “They’re making an excellent recovery, really wonderful,” Professor Noor ul Owase Jeelani told Sky News. “They should be in a position to go back to Pakistan in a few weeks.” Jeelani Led The Medical Team To Victory Sky News reported that the doctor and his team used Mixed reality technology to create 3D images of the twins’ brains “to increase precision during complex operation.” “The technology developed to undertake this work makes a lot of the more routine surgeries we do, safer, less invasive, and more effective,” Jeelani explained. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gemini Untwined (@geminiuntwined) He added he is thrilled to have been able to provide care for the twins. He and his team did a more minor surgery on the girls prior to the 14-hour operation in July. “To be able to give these girls and their family a new future where they can live independently and enjoy their childhood is a special privilege,” Jeelani shared. He was able to use virtual reality to help prepare for Minal and Mirha’s complicated surgery. “It’s really great to see the anatomy and do the surgery before you actually put the children at any risk,” Jeelani explained. “You can imagine how reassuring that is for the surgeons.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Every job comes with its own set of challenges. But for pilots, there is a real possibility that these challenges will become life or death situations. This was the type of challenge one pilot faced on Tuesday when navigating a small plane. It was so small, in fact, the only people onboard were the pilot and two passengers. The small group took off at Logan International Airport in Boston. But soon after they left the runway, it was clear something was wrong. While headed to Bar Harbor, Maine, the pilot was told about an “anomaly” with the landing gear. The first indication they received happened just after takeoff. As you can imagine, this meant that action needed to be taken ASAP. In this case, the pilot had no other choice than to return back to Boston. But in order to land safely, the pilot learned they would have to land the plane on a single wheel. Watch this talented pilot perfectly do just that in the video below. @dailymail A small airplane at Logan International Airport in Boston made a dramatic landing despite only having one functional wheel. Kameraone #airplane #plane #runway #boston #massachusetts #usa #landing #accident #dramatic #viral ♬ Suspenseful and tense orchestra(1318015) – SoLaTiDo As the above video shows, landing the plane with only a single wheel was no easy task. Even from this far off, it’s clear the pilot had to be oh-so careful as they tried to land as gently as possible. From here, they managed to slow down in a way that didn’t send the entire cabin careening across the pavement. Skilled Pilot Manages to Perfectly Land a Small Airplane With Only One Wheel As terrifying as this ordeal must have been for the three people onboard, in the end, none of them sustained any injuries. This wouldn’t have been possible, of course, had it not been for this brave, talented pilot! “That landing was insane!” someone shares in the comment section of the landing video, “Huge props to the pilot for pulling that off like a pro!” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
