The classroom is noisy. One reason is the rambunctious PE class on the other side of the windows in one wall. The other is the excitement level of the girls in the classroom, sitting in twin desks and chatting nonstop. At least one, often both of the girls in each pair taps away on a smartphone or tablet. They frequently look at each other’s screens, point, sometimes laugh and constantly talk.
It’s safe — and sad — to say each of us has had some sort of experience with bullying, whether it be firsthand or indirectly.

This is especially true when it comes to teachers trained in STEM. Science, technology, engineering and math subjects are vital for our elementary, middle school and high school students to learn and understand as they prepare for 21st-century jobs and careers
