Why the iPad is a bigger threat to our children than anyone realises

Our boy was about 5 when we first allowed him to use Google Earth on our laptop to go look at things. And he had to ask for it specifically and had time limits. See my next post for how he likes to spend his free time....

Our Kids Don't Need F@*#ing Pedal Desks, They Need Recess

I want all schools to have recess AND solutions like pedal desks. Recess is good for all kids and should never be cut. Pedal desks are one way of allowing kids to move WHILE they learn/work in class. Recent research supports allowing kids to fidget if they need to.

People Are Pissed At Emma Watson For Her Tribute To Alan Rickman

When Robin Williams died, we all posted his picture with quotes from him and/or the characters he played, many of which focused on depression and suicide. When Maya Angelou died, we posted pictures with quotes from her poems and interviews, many of which focused on race and equality. Emma Watson posted a number of tweets about Rickman's passing, most of which had quotes from him, only one of which was about feminism. The responses and negativity to the ONE about feminism is why we NEED feminism.
