Human attention span has been decreasing gradually. In 2000, it was recorded at an average of 12 seconds. And in just 15 years, in 2015, it became 8 seconds!

A Simple Teacher Habit Tracker

For each class, I have three things I have to do each day: lesson plans in Chalk, Google classroom assignments updated, and then I have to go back and grade the work for the day. Using a sharpie marker and a simple template I made in Canva, where I am with those habits, is a quick glance away.

The Quick Glance Can Be Powerful

I’ve been thinking about this concept of the power of the “quick glance” from something I read.

The smartphone provided a new technique to banish these slivers of solitude: the quick glance. At the slightest hint of boredom, you can now surreptitiously glance at any number of apps or mobile-adapter websites that have been optimized to provide you an immediate and satisfying dose of input by other minds.”

5 Signs That A Child Is Experiencing Bullying In School


Bullying is defined as unwelcome and aggressive behavior among school-aged children or teenagers that involves an imbalance of power. Children who bully others use leverage such as social popularity, access to compromising information, or physical strength to harm and control their peers. Bullying behaviors are also identified as such if they’re repeated, or have the potential to be repeated, over time. These behaviors can include verbal harassment, spreading rumors, social exclusion, and physical violence.

Any child involved in bullying incidents is at risk for long-term psychological problems, whether they perpetrate the bullying or are bullied themselves. Thus, it’s imperative for primary and secondary schools everywhere to adopt a zero-tolerance stance against bullying. The best schools in Singapore, such as Stamford American International School, will have strict, comprehensive safeguarding policies in place to preserve student welfare.

All the same, bullying in schools is a tricky problem to confront. Shame
