The kids Future
I had a parents meeting a week or so back at our school to discuss the new curriculum, which is based on the notion that we need to prepare our kids for working in environments we cannot even think of, doing jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

Why texting is such a pain in the neck
A fascinating fact about the traumas of texting. Apart from bumping into things whilst walking and texting, research has now shown that there is a rise in the number of neck injuries caused by texting. They’ve even given it a medical term ‘text neck’. There’s also one called ‘iPad Shoulder’. Errr, I think the researchers were obviously snowed under that day and just said ‘I haven’t got time to think up another name – it’ll have to do!...
