Teacher. Why would I do anything else?

@adamboxer1 (Also how can I expect decent punctuation from my students when I leave a question mark off?)

[Geoff Matheson @mr_matho]

@adamboxer1 Tbh there are a decent chunk of staff meetings where more than a few of these would be true. How can we expect better of our students than we are willing to demonstrate ourselves.

@healthyskeptic_ @GrogsGamut “The other side is doing it too” is a shitty excuse for an atrocity.

The Australian newspaper has been labelled “precious” “irrelevant” and “out of touch” after it criticised ABC commentators for criticising the monarchy.

A short thread on *trust* in the classroom: why we need it and how teachers can build it.

Q: Any prosecutions for officials who defrauded #TimorLeste, for soldiers who committed war crimes in Afghanistan or for tax officials who ordered an abuse of garnishee powers? A: No! Just $6M in prosecutions for the 4 heroes who blew the whistle 🤬#auspol https://t.co/amZiVZzaMZ

@DrBradJohnson A claim like that at very least deserves to be accompanied by a link to the research.

[Geoff Matheson @mr_matho]

@HeyMissSmith Surely the power has been not in what the research advocates, but in the fads that are debunked.

Most of my followers probably know this, but in case you don't....

Teachers, what's one item in your classroom that always goes missing? #teachertwitter #edutwitter

[Geoff Matheson @mr_matho]

@MrMCimino No disrespect, but isn't this quote railing against people who say "I'm not a public school educator but I completely understand their needs"?

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Thank you so much for all the well-wishes on my 18th birthday!

Tonight you will find me down at the local pub exposing all the dark secrets behind the climate- and school strike conspiracy and my evil handlers who can no longer control me!
I am free at last!!

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

This is very good.

[Geoff Matheson @mr_matho]

Everything about this depends on how implementation happens. The principle is noble, but there are so many ways this can go from here. Immediate thought is on how this affects English curriculum: is the current study really built for all Year 12s?

@Ysreadthis Still jealous.

[Geoff Matheson @mr_matho]

@lucasgarth Yep. We had kids taking desktops home from computer rooms. Everything was done to make it work, but it's still so far from ideal. And I did have a bunch of kids it worked really well for, lots of whom would be happier if it was the status quo.

[Geoff Matheson @mr_matho]

This makes me mad. It has great stuff to say - so much good can come from remote learning. But when grammar principals lead the conversation, there's no discussion of equity. So many students have no access to tech or an appropriate learning spot at home. https://t.co/EHul7AY7y4
