Fidgety kids and soda sales in the news

Thanks go out to Alexander Russo for pointing this story about stand-up desks out. Maybe it's an answer for squirmy students?

And, here's the New York Times' take on new research about soda intake of young kids.

Researchers said that when they compared the soft drink consumption of children at schools where it was sold and children at schools where it was not, they did not find a big difference. Only about 4 percent fewer children from the no-soda schools said they did not drink it, the piece said.

Tell me what you think of these stories, and let me know what you're reading today.

About this blog

Anna Mallory

Welcome to Chalk Dust! This is your community aimed at exploring education in the New River Valley. I'm Anna Mallory. I went to public schools in West Virginia and now I cover PreK-12 education for the Roanoke Times.
I read way too many reports about improving schools and can speak in entire sentences using educational acronyms. I'll be letting you know about issues and events affecting your children, schools and tax dollars, but, more importantly, I want to know what you think. Let me know your opinions about issues in the boardroom, classroom and beyond.
