Look, I'm as "student-centered" as the next guy, but I don't much care what students think about cell phone bans. Schools are run for students, not by students.
But what do students think?
Only 11% of youth enrolled in K–12 schools said that phone use should be prohibited "bell to bell." But 60% did support at least *some* phone restrictions during the school day.

Reminder to education leaders that if you are looking for the best research evidence to guide your education practices, you will largely find the most rigorous research in special education and psychology journals. Much of the work there is conducted in general education with universal student populations.

The most insane athletic event that occurs in this universe is about to start. If you're due for a good rabbit hole of information and an immediate obsession...go look up The Barkley Marathons and follow #bm100 for the next few days.
After multiple failed attempts, the conch was blown at 10:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100.

Checker Finn: Dismantling IES "won’t improve matters. It’s just going to weaken the foremost truth squad in American education, the chief sponsor and funder of rigorous analysis, reliable data, and clear-eyed evaluations in a realm that needs more of those things, not less."

Looking for a model article that (1) reports a between case standardized mean difference effect size and (2) does a good job of reporting the calculation of the effect size in methods and interpretation in results. Any suggestions? Self-promotion welcome! #scrdchat

As per @abc13houston, there’s a Texas-sized surge in uncertified teachers underway in @HoustonISD. In my latest for @educationgadfly, I review @jjacobkirksey’s policy brief on the subject and the potential implications. fordhaminstitute.org/nationa… #txed #txlege #HISD @MichaelPetrilli

“We appreciate and understand that some students have mental health challenges, but we need to stop forcing teachers to be therapists,” @cadebrumley said. “Teachers are not trained for that, so it’s a disservice both to the teacher and to the student.”
