1. Computer Rooms
- Lisa Durff on 02 Jan 17
  
  True but classroom teachers should not be deprived of this special when they have a free period for planning, PD, contacting parents. COWS with a specials tchr to reinforce classroom instruction + classroom integration might work better.

2. Isolated classrooms

  Parents are not welcome in child's school much less classroom for 'security' reasons. This must be dealt with 1st.

  My biggest beef - IT ppl with no educational degrees making decisions on which software teachers will use.

4. Banning phones and tablets
- Lisa Durff on 02 Jan 17
  
  These are routinely banned by administrations - they have not seen the every student response without district paying one red cent - that might change minds.

3. Schools that don’t have WiFi
- Lisa Durff on 02 Jan 17
  
  PUBLIC WiFi - not just teacher connections but ALL devices should be able to go online.

7. Schools that don’t have Facebook or Twitter
- Lisa Durff on 02 Jan 17
  
  Love communicating with grandson's superintendent on Twitter - I know before the 'official' notification sources when school's are closed. Wish principal and teacher had Twitter too OR let me into the school's Edmodo.

Libraries that only contain books and chess tables are obsolete.
- Lisa Durff on 02 Jan 17
  
  I have a beef with this blanket statement. Libraries with books ARE invaluable for primary students. Once they are hooked on reading, then introduce digital reading. Libraries could have free hot beverages though....

15. Hang out with people who are smarter than you.Spend as much time as you can with smart people. Every day, you should strive to have a coffee date or walk with someone who inspires you. Always be humble and willing to learn. Ask as many questions as possible. If you are always around people who are more knowledgeable than you, you’ll have no choice but to learn more. — Manas J Saloi
