Current Education Issues

Are Chromebooks on their way out? Well, probably not, but a new tech backlash is spreading in education - Chromebook remorse. After schools have spent tens of billions of dollars on Chromebooks, iPads, and learning apps, studies have found that digital tools have generally not improved students' academic results or graduation rates.

Wellness Wrap

Along with fresh flowers in the spring we get pollen, and for many people that means allergies. A natural anti-histamine treatment to try involves sipping tea. Sipping tea can help give you the anti-histamine boost you need to actually enjoy all the beautiful blooms!

"One of my favorite allergy remedies is tea," says Stacie J. Stephenson, D.C., author of Glow. Green tea, for example, brims with EGCG, an antioxidant compound. EGCG eases pain, swelling, and inflammation. To make, steep a green tea bag in hot water for five to ten minutes.

Rosemary tea contains compounds that neutralize inflammatory free radicals. To make ginger tea, pour boiling water over 1 tsp. of dried rosemary and steep for five minutes.

Ginger tea helps prevent the production of inflammatory cytokines. To make ginger tea, peel and thinly slice a 1" piece of ginger. Steep in boiling water for five minutes, then strain and sip.
