@JaneCaro And none of that explains why parents are choosing those schools.

The annual biased and underinformed argument of @JaneCaro about school funding requiring a reasoned response by Dr. David Hastie.

Jerry Seinfeld on why chasing your "passion" is embarrassing, and what to do instead:

Seinfeld pushes back against the popular advice to find your one great passion in life.

In his view, it's not just unnecessary, it's a little ridiculous.

"Let go of this idea that you have to find this one great thing that is my passion. My great passion with your shirt torn open and your heaving pec muscles. It's embarrassing."

Instead of chasing something dramatic, he offers a quieter alternative:

"Find fascination. Fascination is way better than passion. It's not so sweaty."

He explains why the heavy-breathing version of passion is actually counterproductive:

"Just be willing to do your work as hard as you can with the ability you have. We don't need the heavy breathing and the outstretched arm from your passion. It makes co-workers uncomfortable in the cubicle next to you."

Then Seinfeld offers what he calls his three real keys to life, no jokes:

"Number one, bust your ass. Number two, pay attention. Number three, fall in love."

@JerrySeinfeld elaborates on the first one:

"You obviously already know whatever you're doing, I don't care if it's your job, your hobby, a relationship, getting a reservation at M Sushi, make an effort. Just pure stupid… effort."

And here's the part worth sitting with:

"Effort always yields a positive value even if the outcome of the effort is absolute failure of the desired result. This is a rule of life. Just swing the bat and pray is not a bad approach to a lot of things."

Sums it up well. Unusual for me to be agreeing with the author who was a mouthpiece for so long for gov ed.

Hardly news but good there’s firm data.

[The Educator @TheEducatorAU]

Dr Fiona Longmuir and Monash University find that mid-career teachers are the cohort most likely to leave the profession due to burnout, demoralisation, and heavy workloads.

@HonTonyAbbott Perhaps you should take a leaf out of @fitzhunter ‘s book. https://t.co/PfKQmaJRPj
Unlike your craven self serving homage to someone charged with murder blaming it on the fog of war. Shameless.

So @M_McCormackMP credit where credit is due? Something big for the regions.

@ESIaustralia $100 million wasted. The manager of the project was the only beneficiary- a lucrative consultancy. Student outcomes continued to slide. Feds need to work through states to resolve. Pay and support not try to run a solution.

@malcolmconn Stick to footy @PhilGould15 At least you know something about that. You diminish yourself by buying in with such ignorance.
