A few weeks ago, I saw a tweet by Will Richardson. It said, "I am declaring email bankruptcy again. And I feel guilty about 100 in the inbox." This made me think. A lot. In education, email has become a primary method of communication for teachers, administrators, and parents. Although email has made communication easier, it has also multiplied the number of communications that educators are expected to process in one day. When is too much simply TOO MUCH? We need to focus on kids and learning, not email. So, give yourself a break. Declare email bankruptcy. Spend that extra time with your students learning things about them that you never knew!
