Below is an opinion column by Donna Akers:
Dr. Donna Akers says if Mississippi truly wants to prepare students for lifelong success, we need to recognize that no single approach will fit every learner.
After more than 30 years in Mississippi’s public schools, I’ve seen the classroom change in ways I never imagined. When I first started teaching, education was about discovery. Students explored, asked questions, and learned to love learning. Somewhere along the way, that joy disappeared.

Mississippi is one of 15 states where SNAP costs will rise more than triple as a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, one analysis suggests.
Tameshia Williams, a single mom of four in Jackson who works as an elder aide, was kicked off Mississippi’s food stamp program in October despite being eligible. She says she was not informed of an upcoming appointment in the mail until after the appointment passed – a reality she worries will be the new normal for many families now that the federal government mandated more red tape for the program.

In a series of exclusive interviews with Mississippi Today over the past year, former Rankin County Deputy Christian Dedmon talked about the fraternity he found in law enforcement and his descent into cruelty inside the “Goon Squad.”
Eddie Parker stood in a courtroom facing the former Mississippi law enforcement officers who were convicted of torturing him and one of his friends. Some of the ex-officers wore red-striped outfits that identified them as the most dangerous inmates behind bars.
