Lessons on how to talk not text

Kids normally get told off for talking to their mates in class, but schools are now being told to encourage you to chat, according to the BBC.

"People who make the rules say children are doing so much texting and e-mailing they don't really talk face to face. They say this means you could be forgetting how to actually speak to each other properly. Teachers have now been told to include lessons on how to speak, listen and disagree with your friends politely."
