        @sapinker @CreativeTweets I like the idea of giving the media gin, even if it does make them panicky.

        @sapinker @AdamThierer Though plausibly increased protectiveness of children causes both the decline and the panics...

        This latest @sapinker retweet is in honor of @psygnisfive 's dedication to the advancement of reactionary politics and national socialism.

        @sapinker the anti-bullying stuff is a backlash, folks are saying parents aren't rough enough on the bullies, that the bullies need to pay.

        @sapinker Hi Steven, off the top of your head, is there any research you would recommend on the impact of technology on school children?

        @FoolishReporter @sapinker The trend is nationwide. Seems unlikely that every PD/SO in the country is in on it.
