English teacher, cannot help myself. Mother of three, always. Writer, when I can.

@JonTzantzaris I wonder what this says about top classes. Maybe they don’t lift anyone either??

[John Tzantzaris @JonTzantzaris]

Selective schooling might not be lifting anyone, study finds https://t.co/WV1REs7qXg

[Anne Lamott Quotes @AnneLamottQuote]

"If healing and care are going to get done, it will be love working through us. Us! In our current condition, not down the road, when we are in the fullness of our restoration, in wholeness, compassionate detachment, patient amusement. Us, now." ~@ANNELAMOTT

Big shout to all the teachers starting up again tomorrow. Good luck for 2018. There is no more important job than educating and inspiring a new generation of Australians. ✌️

“It is an ambitious, positive plan to boost Australian industry, increase investment, and create more jobs for Australian businesses,” Turnbull said. Electric cars? Renewable energy manufacturing? Nope. Death machines. https://t.co/RizQsSmDIG

How did I miss that the great Ursula Le Guin died? I hated fantasy until I read The Wizard of Earthsea. She made the world shimmer.

I am so tired of cruelty. How did we forget the radical kindness and fragility of other humans so soon after Christmas. How. https://t.co/H8YHpuPNJQ

The revocation of temporary protected status threatens to send 200,000 Salvadorans back to a country that has become one of the most dangerous places in the world. https://t.co/X1jhGmeHYE

Well done to AHISA, WASSEA and Catholic Secondary Principals Association for calling challenging the West Australian Newspaper’s league tables. @PositiveSchools & @drhelenstreet support you totally. We need equity and creativity in education, not relentless academic competition.

"The imagination gives life to the otherwise dry bones of propositional thought."
Read Regent alum Karl Petersen on how writing a fantasy novel gave shape to the narrative of his faith. https://t.co/yb2OTFZDTr
