Just trying to get better at teaching.

This year we decided on Mathematics being the theme for arts week... in a school with 50 primary classes that's a lot of variety. Here is some of the children and teachers came up with:

[Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson]

At some point every Holocaust museum will be forced to include an exhibit on what’s happening in Gaza right now. It’s only a matter of time. Dr. Nick Maynard of Oxford University medical school has been a witness to the genocide.

[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

Genocide.

[A'ish @JuwayriyyahAlam]

This is a headteacher promoting Tommy Robinson. A headteacher of a secondary school.

[Pedro Ronchi @PedroRonchi2]

Essa imagem vai ter mais curtida do que a bandeira de Israel.

[Pastor Ben @BenjaminPDixon]

Do you know how EVIL you have to be to do this to another human being?!

[Adil Jaffer @adil_3]

@CeraGibson Re: aging population. I wonder if that's more a broken economic model rather than about sustaining working populations to support the old.
Tbh I follow your insta for a while already and i dont have you down as a race elite genocider. Didnt mean to take the post in bad faith. :)

[Adil Jaffer @adil_3]

@CeraGibson There's some broad calculation somewhere that if we all consumed like the US we could need 14 earths. But if we all consumed like the average Indian then it's far far less than 1 whole earth. And that's the more justice related conversation I think needs to be brought up.

[Sky News @SkyNews]

'No Palestinians and rubble are far as the eye can see'

What is Gaza like four months on from the ceasefire?

@RichardEngel returns, embedded with the IDF, and tells @SkyYaldaHakim about the sheer scale of destruction he witnessed.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Looks like Tony Blair is very determined to confirm his status as one of the worst persons alive.

His speech is pure 19th century colonialism: he frames the Gaza issue as one of "ineffective governance" on the part of the Palestinians, without as much as mentioning the 17-year blockade, the occupation, or the small matter of the deadliest assault on a civilian population this century.

I'd love to understand how you build "effective institutions" when:
- Your airport was destroyed by Israel in 2001
- Your seaport is blockaded
- Building materials are banned as "dual use"
- Your university gets bombed every few years
- Your civil servants can't travel for training
- Your economy is strangled by design
- Your people and government officials are routinely killed in devastating attacks

And he uses this, the eminently predictable outcome of this continuous strangling of a people, as evidence that they can't govern themselves and that they require outside management by the architects of their immiseration.

Absolutely repugnant, no other word for it.

@mathillustrated Why is that book incriminating?! Are there contexts where that work has been controversial?! I thought it was a wonderful piece of work.

[Adil Jaffer @adil_3]

I'm not going to post any mathematics education content until the genocide stops. That's all that matters now to me. We should stop doing anything until this stops, and our governments stop making it happen. Enough.

[Tait Coles @tait_coles]

Why critical pedagogy is so important now more than ever…

[Jairo I. Fúnez-Flores @Jairo_I_Funez]

Since it is Paulo Freire's birthday, I want to remind everyone what he taught us: there’s no such thing as a politically neutral education, a politically neutral curriculum, or a politically neutral pedagogy.

@CuisenaireCo My friend is going back to the street to look for them... Will report back!

[Adil Jaffer @adil_3]

A Dutch set of cuisenaire. A friend saw them somewhere today and knew I'd appreciate the photo! How sweet ❤️❤️

@MxKantEven https://t.co/74nq7kBGnp - here is an article on the ppm, co2 and climate effect lag we usually expect.

[Adil Jaffer @adil_3]

@MxKantEven Have you a source for this please? There's no doubt that carbon emissions from the genocide are enormous, it was my understanding temperature rise follows carbon dioxide levels approx. 10-15 years on. i.e. its not instant.
