I have posted this before but ..

26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK.

The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out:

▪️ No drop in revenue

▪️ 65% fewer sick days

▪️ 71% less burnout

▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial

The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.

Things teachers want to say to parents…

-Take the phone away at night. Your kid isn’t getting enough sleep.

-Don’t believe everything your kid says. They lie…A LOT!

-Teach your kid to have some grit. Also teach them to be nice!

-Stop blaming everyone for your kid’s issues.

Standardized testing, especially in elementary level is not only a massive waste of time and money, but has little to no impact on student learning.
