Should you give your kid an Apple watch? Great evaluation from @protecteyes. In brief: generally good but kid can watch videos and reach the web, so not good for elementary school. Gabb watch is better for first watch/phone.

You can do everything the right way with the right effort and right attitude, and things still aren’t guaranteed to go the way you want them to.
Still, to choose to show up and do things the right way with the right effort and the right attitude.
Be about the standard.

Hot take:
Reduced Class Size: Effect Size=0.17 or less than 1/2 year's learning growth
Why so low?
Bc we'll tend to teach 16 like we taught 32.
We should talk about changing the quality of our teaching in the room as much as we talk about changing the quantity of the learners.

South Carolina schools will go phone free, throughout the day!
Red states, blue states.... everyone wants kids to pay attention to their teachers and to other students. Most people see that phones interfere with education and social connection.

More fantastic news: Virginia schools will go phone free. Well done Gov. Youngkin. Red, blue, and purple states are doing it. Politicians in both parties are parents, they see what is happening.
We’re establishing cell phone-free education in schools benefiting students, parents and educators across Virginia. This essential action will promote a healthier educational environment where every child is free to learn. governor.virginia.gov/newsro…
