@drchatterjeeuk quoted your podcast (how smartphones are rewiring our brains) a lot!

[Francesca Oakes @franoakes1]

Hosted my schools’s first smartphone free working group yesterday with parents. We had some brilliant discussions from pressure on parents, homework online and the different pressures for boys and girls (gaming v social media). Excited to implement and see positive change.

@Positivteacha Again as Matt said very happy to have a face to face debate/ discussion about this. Have a lovely weekend all!

@Positivteacha And as well as my 10+ years working in education. The main aim was to educate. I, as a teacher, have seen firsthand the impact toxic social media influencers have had on our boys (I’m not saying all boys btw).

Thanks Matt! Pleasure to work with you on this! Such an important topic and it can sometimes get forgotten about/ missed at primary.

And from character and integrity comes leadership. This is such a great read!
