I say it every year around this time ๐ฅด BUT when thinking about setting up classrooms for next year, step away from the laminator. Iโm done with being polite about it tbh, but nothing needs to last thousands of years.
We canโt teach children about #Sustainability &then laminate
What an empowering weekend at the ISS Women in Leadership Symposium! It was wonderful to connect and reconnect with all of these powerful women from around the world! It was a privilege to honor Mary Anne Haas and the legacy she created 21 years ago! @ISSCommunity @Tweet_Clements
@Headteacherchat Stick with it, listen to the complaining teachers once (so their voice is heard) but then remind them it's your decision and further complaints are just dissent.
Of course! Hundreds sign up for tuition centre mock exams costing up to S$130, after Singapore scraps all mid-year school exams https://t.co/6YjrMVcT28
Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there โ on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.โ
