### sense in the lessons

In school, teachers write comments on homework and reports; pupils give kind, helpful comments in peer feedback («two stars and a wish»). In online safety lessons, children learn not to post unkind comments, not to share personal information in comments, and to report nasty ones. Phrases: «make a comment», «comment on», «no comment», «leave a comment».
