            One major challenge i was dealing with today :

• Internet  & online addiction

             I use my cell phone a lot in class and since I wake up.

             Digital natives prefer to text rather than talk on the phone. They do not listen or leave voice mails, and prefer to socialize on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram rather than on the playground or at the town square.

.I would tell them “You are going to fail school if you keep this up.”
