Summary | A UK school shows what education will look like in the future. One school room is called the 4D room where there is a projected footage on the floor, walls, and ceiling, and an interactive floor for a more immersive experience. Pupils who have been to this room has been transported back in time or have been travelling to remote places. Digital natives will consider smartphones and other digital devices as normal. Therefore, educators need to find a way to deliver lessons that can grasp pupil's attention and imagination. They will still be using traditional classroom tools.

Summary | A mother who homeschools their children lets them play video games for up to seven hours a day. Experts criticize this because excessive video gaming reduces the development of empathy and other important psychological and cognitive developments. They are clearly not receiving nearly as much educaton as children in the public school system. All this is however legal as homeschooled children do not need to follow the curriculum or sit standardized exams.

Summary | A Florida school was widely criticized online after a student shared posters that were put up in the school depicting what appropriate women's prom dresses look like and what kind of dresses are inappropriate. These posters were labeled with "good girl". The outrage is around the mysoginist language (degrading women to girls) and the mere fact that women's styling of their bodies is strongly policed and tied to accountability in sexual harrassment cases. The internet responded with a hashtag on Twitter with many contributions and the school's administration has since apologized.
