Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.
Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”
@RogersHistory I vividly remember Estelle Morris saying it’s not possible to be exceptional for every single moment of your day, yet teachers are expected to do just this.

Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered. #Paris2024

🎓 We are wasting the resource of our special education teachers if we limit them mostly to helping students complete work. Their skills can reach so much farther when they are in the role of co-designing instruction. #LeadInclusion#EdLeaders#Teachers#UDL

Play is a fundamental mechanism through which children's brains process information. It really is how children learn!
Neuroplasticity: When kids play, their brains get better at learning new things and handling different situations. This helps them learn new skills and think more clearly.
Imagination and Creativity: Playing lets kids use their imaginations and be creative. It helps them solve problems, think in new ways, and come up with cool ideas.
Social and Emotional Development: Playing with others helps kids learn how to talk, work together, understand others' feelings, and deal with problems. It also helps them control their own emotions better.
Sensorimotor Skills: Running, climbing, and playing with toys helps kids get better at moving their bodies, balancing, using their hands, and knowing where things are in space.
Executive Functioning: When kids play, they practice making plans, making decisions, organizing things, and controlling themselves. These skills are super important for doing well in school and in life.
Language Development: Playing games, telling stories, and pretending to be different characters help kids learn new words, talk better, understand stories, and tell their own stories.
Emotional Regulation: Playtime is like a safe zone where kids can express their feelings and learn how to handle them. It helps them deal with stress, solve problems, and bounce back from tough situations.
🌱 Cultivate a #SafeSpace for your students to grow through their mistakes by coupling consequences with introspection before a convo.

🔄 Choices provide students the opportunity to enjoy autonomy, foster intrinsic motivation, and gain decision-making skills. Without ample choice, we teach students that obedience is prioritized over self-initiated learning. #LeadInclusion#EdLeaders#Teachers#UDL
