Celebrating 45 years working in education and still learning. Surrounded by hard-working, dedicated and thoughtful educators and students who nourish me daily.

Thought Tim Cahill looked quite silly, sitting with his very rich chums. #Socceroos

First retweet of the year - spreading the joy.

@macsween_prue @AlboMP Simple solution to Australia Day 'issue'. Australia becomes a republic, and the date that that is enshrined becomes Australia Day.

🧵 We might not want to admit this/this might be controversial..but I do wonder if OUR screen time as a generation of parents is more damaging for children’s development (speech and Lang for example) than children’s own screen time…

Wonderful to see such love for @LankumDublin Why @yevagabonds have gone relatively under the radar confounds me. https://t.co/02YLZRpziH

Why not more love for #1883 - The Taylor Sheridan prequel to Yellowstone ? Ok - it's melodramatic and highly sentimental but of it's kind it is of the very highest order. Bravo.

car dealerships and an independent supermarket. A concrete-laden island, soulless and sterile. A fruitful opportunity lost to create a vibrant, liveable suburb in Melbourne's North-West. Shame, shame, shame. @VicGovAu @mooneevalleycc

While we lament the dire shortage of housing stock in Melbourne and its suburbs #EssendonFields sits - a town-planning monstrosity, a mere 11 km from the CBD. Cocooned by a couple of freeways it is virtually impenetrable by foot and houses a range of office blocks,

@StMarysE17 @nat_bur @VanessaCConant @InkedRev81 @Jayacintha The very word Vespers conjures up that image of that world where we give ourselves permission to slow down and reflect. Enjoy Nat.

This man was a teacher for 40 years.

In 1974, Dale Irby, a gym teacher in Dallas, realized he had worn the same outfit as the previous year on Picture Day, and decided to simply go with it, after Cathy – his wife – dared him to.

So here you got 40 years with the same outfit until Dale's eventual retirement in 2013.

January 8, 1964, marked the most-watched half hour broadcast in American TV history. That evening, 65 percent of people with television sets were tuned into "The Giant Jackrabbit," when Granny mistakes a kangaroo for a jackrabbit.

@Strickomaster RJ is more likely to be effective with peers. Power differential means personnel are 'stuck' in their roles. Too easy for students to play the hapless victim and when that happens teacher (often justifiably) finds it hard to buy in.

I was set upon by a group of immigrants in Dublin yesterday. They gave me a triple heart bypass and saved my life 🫀😊

Funnily enough, the people interviewed here by the BBC chap (all those years ago) make me proud to be Irish.
If you listen to their opinions, it’s a lovely mix of humility, common sense, and quiet pride in themselves.

Should be Scotland's anthem - features inclusion, regret for past ills, optimism, equity.

Watched Cheers Season 1 again after many years. Who would have thought it holds up so well? The ensemble cast - magnificent.

Iris Dement's 2023 Album "Workin' on a World' merges Randy Newmanesque sardonic bite yet at the same time celebrates general decency and good will. Highly recommended - @Nuala_OS @nat_bur
