Fortunately, I retired at a point in time that was just before the tsunami of technology that has rolled over us all.

Technology with its social extensions, has created mayhem in schools along with discord among students.

Mobile phones were just coming in when I retired. At our school, there were no issues because I banned these devices from being used by students during the school day.

I am astounded by the way young people use technology to shame others, and abuse peers including starting fights and creating conflict situations to film and post.

Thank goodness I escaped the disasters social technology has been unfurled in our Australian schools.
