Saying we shouldn't restrict smartphones for children because it's the apps not the phone that do the damage is like saying we should let children have access to cars as long as they don't drive them.

Kids thrive on calm, not chaos. Schools where teachers have no authority cause anxiety, not schools where rules are clear and enforced. For children, nothing is more unsettling than feeling like no one’s in charge.

I fear I have done the program I use an I injustice. The level of feedback I get on a whole class and individual level especially after a few weeks is amazing.
It also gives the students a break down of they need to revise as as well as the areas they know well with a personalised list of videos.

But that happens with everything as one job is reduced another increases or takes its place. If I can quickly create a series of questions or mark homework then spend the time on something else, that’s a good thing to me.
