Parents have age ratings, Common Sense Media is helping a lot, but nothing says whether a title actually helps a kid grow.
So I've built the Marble Index to measure that. Does this respect his attention? Does it grow his creativity? Does it teach anything? Is it harmless? What about online safety?
You can score any content and see what it does to a kid. It's research-based, 100% free and collaborative.
Both raise questions about ethics and social responsibility but which presents the greater long-term risk to young people, and why?
Taiwan’s education isn’t about learning; it’s an industrial meat grinder. You’re conditioned to cram until midnight, chase credentials, and become an obedient cog in the tech machine. Any genuine passion—whether it’s dissecting Technical Death Metal or playing guitar—is treated as a defect. What sickens me most is the ruthless elitism it breeds: winners don't gain wisdom, just venomous arrogance toward anyone drowning in this pressure. They call it meritocracy; I call it collective Stockholm syndrome. I refuse to let this sterile factory define who I am.
Hello! I am a Finnish teacherstudent about to write my masters thesis about democracy education and citizenship studies for pupils aged 11-16(ish).
I am interested in doing an analysis of textbooks used for these ages mainly in different parts of Europe, pereferably the nordics, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and German speaking countries.
My question is about what book series you use or recomend me to get to know?
What is the subject ”social studies” called in your country? When do pupils start studying this sibject?
Is there eBook resources in your country that I could acces?
Any help would be much appriciated!
these fees do not even make any f ing sense
You know, get rid of public education and privatize it all? It sure seems you want to. Please explain.
Hello,
I work in a self contained classroom for school aged autistic children. I like to think I’m alright at my job. It’s my 4th year special ed, 2nd in a self contained room. This is the first year things feel somewhat normal, and I’m able to really see the positive effects of the work we do (routines, expectations, patience, and overall making great progress).
However, some of our children have some very severe behavior. They are all great and fun, but when things go south with some of them, it really goes south. I do a great job at staying calm and not reacting/remaining neutral, but it’s just not enough sometimes and we are just waiting on the chaos to end to continue our day, if that even happens.
I want to get better at managing these situations and I’m wondering if there are any really good experts to follow or watch? (I love memes and funny reels but Ive been wanting to see someone who has actual experience and knowledge to share). Also any articles or journals that I could look at? My degree is not in education so I’m not privy to the science behind it, although I have learned a lot while on the job. So I’m basically saying I can understand a lot but I also don’t have a lot of the info most in education would have.
Lastly, if you have any of your own tips in this type of environment, I’d love to hear it!
