Add Comment Will Rogers (one of the world's best-known celebrities in the 1920s and 1930s) once said, “It isn’t what people don’t know that hurts them. It’s what they do know that just ain’t so.”
That’s the introduction to a list of seven myths about learning on the Web site of the Independent Curriculum Group, which is part of a movement of leading private college preparatory schools with teacher-generated curriculum. Starting Monday the Philadelphia suburban district is banning the wearing of fuzzy open-top boots, including the popular Ugg brand, to middle school classes because students have been stashing cell phones in the loose footwear, according to district director of community relations John Armato.
"Cell phones are a problem for obvious reasons," Armato said. Superintendent Reed Lindley said the school principal asked for the boot ban "because of the classroom disruptions that are resulting from ringing cell phones." Students at the school can avoid going toe-to-toe with school officials by wearing boots that lace up and usually have a snugger fit. First time offenders will get detention, and subsequent violations include two detentions, followed by confiscation of the phone, Armato said. |
