💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🖥️📚 Educators facing the growing "techlash" against #classroom #technology are weighing #research, caregiver concerns, and expert opinions to balance #digital tools with screen-free #teaching.
Districts respond in different ways, from weekly #tech-free days and a return to #laptop carts to clearer explanations for families about why and how #devices are used. Both supporters and skeptics agree that purpose and teacher #training matter more than the device itself.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 322.
Catherine Chidgey's novel Pet (2023) is a wonderful psychological thriller centring on a the relationship between a child & her teacher who woos her father. It captures both difficulty of children navigating the adult world, but also how adults can be horrible to children. Its a low key but compelling thriller, that will make you flesh tingle, even as you get annoyed with the adults. I loved it!
