I will block whataboutery on sight.

@Mabel95465470 Honestly, enough people take from it that everything gets taken at about the same rate.

I keep a well-stocked snack drawer at work that anyone is entitled to help themselves to, with the understanding that if they help themselves regularly, they should probably contribute something to the Drawer.

Guy at work has opened up a work tuck shop.😂

@extralefty (people put in what they want. You might think the selection is bad, but it's what people have added and therefore want)

[Claudia Lewis @MBDscience]

@extralefty Yeah - I don't take a photo when it's empty.

@Gwenelope I hate online parents evenings. Four hours of talking into a screen, no body language to read off, appointments devalued so you get parents in cars, eating dinner, I've even had one in bed.

[Claudia Lewis @MBDscience]

An AI use in schools I could get behind would be parents evening scheduling. Teacher puts in their classes and availability, parents put in their availability and which teachers they need to see and the algorithm makes the most efficient schedule for all involved.

@SazuBurns The first time I took Pini to the vet, the vet said "clearly, she likes her food".

[Claudia Lewis @MBDscience]

@Gwenelope It's not just chocolate - there's CuppaSoups, dried fruit snacks, crisps and tea bags, but they don't get taken as often so they end up at the bottom 😅

Sheer terror from year 8 as a series of explosions go off behind the school.
Turns out someone thought it was a really good idea to set off fireworks in the middle of the afternoon.

Doing a joint observation with my trainee's university tutor. Said tutor has just said the video clip "supported the visual learners", so if you were wondering whether learning styles were dead, there's your answer.

There are so many pinch points in school calendars that could be removed with nothing more than better planning.

[Claudia Lewis @MBDscience]

@adamboxer1 I didn't say it was. I said I'm having to get students to do some form of copying from the board, not because I want them to have information in their books, but because their fine motor skills are so bad they need the practice.

[Claudia Lewis @MBDscience]

I should make a big batch of caramelised onions and then freeze them so I don't have to faff and then get fed up and settling for softened onions

[Claudia Lewis @MBDscience]

@DanielBurns1138 The contents were food

[Claudia Lewis @MBDscience]

I got a Pets at Home package on Friday. I can't tell if Pini and George are happier with the contents of the box or the box itself.

[Claudia Lewis @MBDscience]

I do not like the Arbor update.

[Claudia Lewis @MBDscience]

@oldandrewuk Also, good?

[Claudia Lewis @MBDscience]

@Lexz1ss No

[Claudia Lewis @MBDscience]

Maybe it's because I'm an evil, nasty person, but I don't need to hear the opinions of the students in my class on what they're learning. I teach little that requires an opinion, and of that which might, the students don't know enough to form a decent one.

@joel120193 "engaging, exciting and richer" - it's going to be endless practical work
