Back to School COVID Myths – It’s popular to say that hybrid learning is negatively impacting poor students who generally attend schools with lots of discipline issues. Is it possible that some poor kids who make a serious effort to learn aren’t the big winners? There may be stresses at home, but not many bullies. @DrDougGreen @mssackstein

If there is any topic related to education that you are researching or just interested in, you can search this site. You can also go to my five archive pages on the left of my home page and search there. After a daily post has been up for about a month, the individual items are moved to one on my five archive pages. While you can also search the Internet, the items stored on my archive pages have been vetted for quality and accuracy by someone who has been in education full time since 1969.

The first three topics deal with social media, learning, and leadership. The fourth features my daily inspirational quotes. There are well over one thousand here and they all feature attractive images along with the quote. You could share one each day with your class or print your favorites to hand on your wall in school or at home. They contain good advice and tips that can make your day. The final page is my humor/music/cool stuff grab bag. Rather than searching here, you can just scroll through the items looking for something entertaining. You can’t miss. Have fun and come back tomorrow for another bunch of my Net Nuggets.

From now until October 3, 2022, I’ll be visiting Western Italy. I won’t be able to make daily posts, but I’ll send some photos of places that you might want to visit someday and provide links to some of my greatest hits. If I can, I also will provide some new content. Consider marking your calendar on October 4th with “Dr. Doug Green is Back.” Also, consider searching my archives for links related to your current topics of interest. If you would like some inspirational quotes to share with your students, there are thousands here. If you don’t already follow me on Twitter, please do @DrDougGreen. I always follow back.
