Do test scores improve after phone bans? Not really. - High schools gain a little. Middle schools lose a little. The average is close to zero. - Behaviour worsens before it improves when phones are removed. - Phone bans hurt wellbeing at first, then modestly help, but the effects are not large or transformative. Bottom line: Lockable phone pouches reduce phone use and initially disrupt behaviour and wellbeing, but ultimately produce near zero overall effects on academic achievement. tom-dee.github.io/files/w35132.p…

🚨BREAKING: Recruiters laying down HARD TRUTHS. “…The Public School System is designed for students to PASS and get a Diploma—Effortlessly...” But then Services Members are mindless robots and the military is a last resort 🙄. It seems like we should be your first resort because at least you’ll learn how to READ.
“As soon as devices were introduced into classrooms around 2010 scores have been falling in reading, in math, basically around the world.” “We have over a decade of research showing this experiment was a fail... Having students on devices harms their learning.”
My personal experience sent me down a rabbit hole that I'm still in today, reading education research critically and asking hard questions. I wrote about what I've learned in a guest post for the Center for Educational Progress. 🎧Prefer to listen? It's in today's podcast episode. I hope it helps people. 🔗Links below

@chrisman Ask them what the consequences should be for homeschooling parents who fail to educate children. Then ask what the consequences should be for public schools that do the same. The difference in answers is the game.
Teacher says there's no longer a difference between special education & general education. He says every teacher is special ed now, what with all the IEPs and 504s. My 2¢: the overly inclusive model is unfair to everyone involved!
More weekend reading. Interesting personal story that illustrates the damage rigid leftist identity politics has done to American higher ed. A middle-aged woman goes back to grad school to become a mental health counselor. To relaunch her professional career and to help people. Noble intent. Gets crushed by left-wing politics.
