Today we published an investigation into a group called '764'. The group - composed mostly (but not entirely) of teenage boys - targets vulnerable children and coerces them into harming themselves.

This was a gut-wrenching story to report.

Timed tests don’t measure what students know. They assess how students perform under stress.

Data: tests under time pressure underestimate the abilities of girls—especially in math, where test anxiety is high.

If students can't finish a test, make it shorter or give more time.

The most valuable voice in a meeting isn’t the person who talks the most. It’s the person who says the most with the fewest words.

Dominating the discussion signals high self-importance or low self-awareness. Making space for others to contribute shows respect and earns respect.
