I’ve just updated the calendar - I need to find extra childcare for 6 full days and 2 half days between 27/1 and 1/3. Far out the first term of prep is hard for working parents.

@mac_bridie @EmergencyBK Yes I can still recite the 7 digit one my grandparents had and we had til 88, and then the 8 digit one we got in the next house. Can only recall 2 mobile numbers I use every day today…

@aliceleung My school uses Edapt which collates data from a wide range of sources. Recommend.

@deanarcuri The lady on the left, or, if it was a more gender neutral name, the guy with the beard. Funny stuff!

[Anna @AnnikaZane]

@aliceleung Knowing timestables and number facts makes such a difference to student confidence all the way through maths. But, i suspect like you, I’m secondary trained and have *no* knowledge of best practice primary scaffolding of these skills.

I just watched a wedding video where the entire bridal party wore black. I personally think it looked funereal, but they get to do what they want for their wedding, so I just scrolled on by. Controversial?

@angi_grace Well done! “It’s not… your own kids.” Is my husband’s favourite line and it’s so powerful coming from a man.

@TheAnal87749122 @SophiePointer @Adelaide_FC What did he say in that show?

[Anna @AnnikaZane]

@SophiePointer @Adelaide_FC This is why there are alarming numbers of teenage boys bringing up Jordan Peterson in class discussions at the moment. :(

@ezrantsdaily I love the bit where ppl saying this is only targeting one group ask for stats on other groups, and the AEC just hands over the links 😂 get the feeling they weren’t expecting it to be that transparent!!

Normally I encourage parents to communicate with their child’s school about many things. This is one where families need to trust the teachers’ professional judgement - we know what we’re doing. Short term discomfort for long term resilience. New friends, new partnerships.

[Anna @AnnikaZane]

Hey parents! If your child has had a rough couple of days in a head start/advance 2023 program in a new class, give them all the support and love you can, but encourage them to tough it out. It’s been 3 days. It takes a bit longer to find their new groove. Don’t ring the school.

@somewherein84 Oh dear. I know how many of the top box we’ve been given by our schools and kinder… 😬

We won this country through massacres and genocides. It’s shameful. This man’s pride in it is complete hypocrisy when posed against his claims that 2 cells make a human that can’t be murdered, which is awful so abortion should be banned. Fuck off, mate, you’re disgusting.

@JohnLunsmann @somewherein84 Themselves as valid and worthy people with a voice and skills to advocate for themselves. I’m sorry that your experience was awful.

[Anna @AnnikaZane]

@JohnLunsmann @somewherein84 Apologies for my clumsy language, yes, things like speech therapy are the kinds of “treatment” I was referring to, supports that help ND children navigate an NT world more easily, help them find their own community (so many therapists run amazing ND holiday programs now) and see
