“Forcing kids to sit still, book in hand, long enough to appreciate it, feels like throwing holy water on a possessed person. Books make them uncomfortable. Some kids look weighted down by their books, while others read with their foreheads on their desks and a book in their laps.

2. The outbreak of teen aged violence can be directly traced to violent computer games. The primate in all of us, yes apes, takes thousands of years to evolve.
3. We need regular teachers, and we need to take the iPhones away from the kids in class.
