@rpondiscio Hazing you say? Well you might like my article about the treatment of new teachers:

I wish I could say this surprised me. The culture of education too often treats first-year teaching as a hazing ritual, and seems almost perversely proud of it.

A study of beginning teachers in Missouri found that only 25% reported being observed by their mentors for at least one hour each month and 21% were not observed at all: bit.ly/4nigaUi

My latest article dropped today!
The paper highlights challenges facing new secondary teachers while suggesting ways that schools and districts might create systems of support that cultivate, rather than deteriorate, the next generation of teachers.

1. Are pupils being taught a broad, deep body of subject knowledge, including subject-specific vocabulary?
2. Are pupils reading (silently and aloud)?
3. Are pupils articulating their understanding/thinking in writing and talk?
If ‘yes’ to all three, you’re teaching literacy.

Well, this seems a bit harsh for a editor desk-rejection email…
I’m going to have to have this one framed and hung in my office once it gets published!

Every time I watch a Bradley game, I marvel over how amazing of a crowd they get.
The way it’s supposed to be in mid-major basketball.
Braves got hot to end the half, lead by nine over UNI in a battle for the #2 seed.

I don’t care what the metrics tell you.

Ban mobile phones in schools. Gate to gate, first bell to last. Successful options include:
1. Complete physical ban
2. Turned off, never visible
3. Handed in (office, pouches, teacher desk)
All of these need exceptions for exceptional circumstances.
All of these need to be systematic, whole-school and patrolled, with consequences. It’s not easy but it’s not complex either. And the benefits are enormous. Especially weighed against the harms.
I hear people saying ‘this is too hard to do’. Which is news to the hundreds of schools I’ve seen do this successfully. And you know what? They never regret it. Not one of them would reverse the policy.

71% of the public would also to support a national ban on smartphones in schools for people under 16, with every age group more likely to support than oppose such a ban.
