Wise words from my friend @DavidCBerliner to you who worry about those big losses in kids' school tests: "Non-academic skills are more powerful than academic skills in life outcomes". https://t.co/z2dzegGJeC via @DianeRavitch @dintersmith @YongZhaoEd

67% of the 250 students I surveyed in a co-ed Sydney school told me that when they were using their phones in class it was to respond to their parents. Doesn't mean we should get into shaming tactics to resolve the issue tho... https://t.co/ktCi4609dT

Should we be telling students what they 'should' or 'must' read OR is it better to promote and encourage reading for pleasure? Guess it depends on the goal. Well read or life-long readers?

Ban mobile phones at school? How about we guide student use by saying phones can be used for learning purposes. Also tell them it will be a sad day when we look more at our phones than talking, playing & socialising with each other. They’ll respond. #stopbuildingfencesaroundthem
