I think about this often because I think it reflects our knowledge of quality curriculum and I see it in classrooms so seldom…

New from me: Researchers are beginning to ask if a lack of childhood independence plays a role in the mental health crisis. "Today’s 18-year-olds are like 12-year-olds from a decade ago. They have very little tolerance for conflict and discomfort." kqed.org/mindshift/6062…
