  30. Lizet – FORT STOCKTON ISD (verified owner) –

    It was interesting to hear different points that have been studied through the years (many years). I like that it gives ideas on how to push through that boredom. I really disagree with little children using cell phones. Yes, it is important, but not a necessity. I find that during the summer, I tend to scroll through my cell and go down a rabbit hole. When it comes time to focus on school work and planning, it takes me a couple of weeks to refocus!
