Very interesting and certainly worth a read given the ever increasing prevalence of smart phones being used by kids
Digital distractions are taking a toll, hijacking kids’ ability to engage their working memory on difficult texts and problems. That kind of laser-like focus is rapidly disappearing from our lives... the74million.org/article/why…

The new gym is a wonderful addition to our school. At last weeks @VicSchoolBuild awards it won best school project between $5-10 million. Congratulations to @Project12Architecture for designing such an amazing facility. @BassCoastNews #architecture @cowesps
Loving the Sold a Story podcast and it’s insights about the business, history and politics of reading. It’s hard to fathom that there are still schools locally investing thousands 💰💰💰 in F&P. #soldastory

I’ve actually never felt more frightened for my industry. And after this week, I just felt compelled to explain why.

Swift immediate action for the greater good! Well played @VicGovDHHS
From 5pm tonight the following restrictions will be in place in Victoria:
- the limit of people gathering in the home will be reduced to 15 from 30.
- masks will be mandatory indoors.
