The Anxious Generation confirmed many concerns and provided some explanation of what many teachers are witnessing in the classroom. This is bold of Australia - interested to see the impact.

Good morning! Dipping my toe here! Encouraged by one of my Principal Cert professors, I discovered EduTwitter a few years ago and loved the conversation - but haven't been as active lately due to changes in the app. Hoping to engage in great conversation here and continue learning!
