@asefedu @wayneholmes @SophiaUniv_ENG I'm looking so uncomfortable because I'm trying to make sure the chair doesn't roll backwards!

[Cairan Finnerty @CairanFinnerty]

@asefedu @SophiaUniv_ENG I mean, in the future too of course. But it's not enough to wait until our students are adults before we expect them to contribute to a sustainable society - we have to practise what we preach about taking action in schools.

@rosbritton The worst thing was coming home, guessing at whether or not the place coming up was a target as well. Thankfully they were controlled explosions and everything is fine, but man it has been quite the evening.

Just ran away from explosions in Britomart. Three bangs and an officer yelling at us to run. Where in the world is safer than here? And yet this happens anyway.

@gmacmanus @RowanTaigel @TheOrganist Hello

@bjd8747 @tcliffin @Badger294 @maurieabraham I think that the content we choose to teach is that more suited to tests. There is nothing about a test or exam which has anything about doing science or mathematics about it. No problems worth solving are in a test or exam. Real problem solving skills suffer.

@CbwynnWynn @YoungMindsUK I might not be so tiny but I still believe in you Cindy!

We are lucky to have a language which assumes PBL and design.

@nommokaiako Nice

[Cairan Finnerty @CairanFinnerty]

@IrishkiwiMike I don't think I lack a sense of confidence so much as possess a sense of anger at what I missed out on for myself. I think such an anger is valuable for me to think about how my classes feel, and how I can encourage or drive change elsewhere.

#whiriatetangata I feel like a victim of a short sighted and culturally ignorant schooling system as a previous student as much as a perpetuator of it now as a teacher. I wonder what our next generation of teacher will feel.
