Social media use, social skills and time spent with friends offline were measured at ages 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18.
Increased social media use predicted more time with friends offline but was unrelated to future changes in social skills.

Hey neurospicy friends, do you often feel like everything is beyond exhausting and if anyone else tries to talk to you or get you to do anything, you'll scream or cry, and all you want to do is hide in your home with a good book until you feel better? Asking for a friend, who is me

As a middle school teacher lacking systemic support, I see the oversight in helping gifted ND students because they (mainly) excel academically. My principal gets it but there's only so much she can do. People overlook the real issue: these kids need support beyond academics (I was THAT kid once!).
This makes me really angry because it's also the reason many "gifted" kids don't get help with what would otherwise be noted as ADHD.
They're obviously doing well academically, so it's just written off as "normal for gifted kids".
And the problem is they're not going to spend their lives in K–12.

One of the things people don't want to talk about is that the real way to fight the chatbot problem in academia is to reduce class sizes and hire fulltime faculty. When it's adjuncts running massive classrooms with no support, it's going to inevitably lead to students and faculty cutting corners...
Knowing that a chatbot is “grading” your assignment is a great incentive for students to give minimum effort and craft assignments that are specific to the dictates of the machine: boring, rote, and drained of creativity and originality.

Sorry for asking but a photo says children under 12 may not be unattended in a library. Growing up libraries were my haven. Given the patriarchal Balkan norms, had I waited for my mom, busy with work and then drowning in household chores, I'd have missed out on the wonder of reading. Why this rule?

Classrooms need tailored methods, teacher training, emphasizing diversity. Adding universal design, like varied ways of presenting info and assessing knowledge, enhances inclusivity.
No formula ensures systemic educational reform; such approaches are bound to fail without deeper, systemic changes.

Who will do the research on the research on the research?
Seriously, though, this is important: "gains in education are usually very small, perhaps because learning is the sum total of trillions of interactions...evidence is much harder to tame and to apply sensibly in education than elsewhere."

The US does not fund research in the humanities. I often have to explain this to colleagues in the rest of the world.
We don't have a general public scheme that specifically funds humanities research.
NEH rocks but annual budget for uni athletics programs surpasses NEH's.

We need to vastly increase the amount of available research funding in the humanities. As the # of applications to the program illustrate, there is a huge need and demand. We can't fund only 5% if humanistic inquiry is going to survive. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...
