Any school district that is not actively devising plans on how to secure phone free classrooms is not truly putting students first. Stop making teachers fight this winless battle; instead, help students help themselves. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

Get Phones Out of Schools Now

They impede learning, stunt relationships, and lessen belonging. They should be banned.

It’s amazing how easy lesson plans fall together sometimes. The Dispatch article in my inbox this morning on Curry Up Indian Grill was a perfect pairing with our discussion on House on Mango Street and the cultural environments and society circumstances of our own communities.

My wondering for the day, is that in all of these talks about what is best for students to learn, parents have been surveyed, but I haven’t heard of a single district that is surveying students for data about what is working or what might work for THEIR best interest.

With @mrwagnersclass homeroom noticeably missing from the leaderboard, a space for a new champion contender opened up for these winners, shown here enjoying their Coin Wars prize. Victory is sweet! Watch out other homerooms. J175 is on the rise! 🍩 🏆

A closer look at the genealogy of @mrwagnersclass revealed his lineage to Ernest Hemingway. Resemblance is uncanny.

A goal for this school year: Step up my Twitter game. It's not just to show what you ate for dinner? @mrwagnersclass, teach me your ways.
