Looks like @DudeAdhd has been hacked!! Just got a few messages about thousands of pounds he has made in crypto.

@mathillustrated @MartinCothran You have more than your fair share of idiots in the US. I was not aware overconfident ignorance was as contagious as it seems to be.

This is Nigel Farage’s Britain 👇

“His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who has lost his son and asked for that not to happen. Exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division would be wrong in any circumstances but to do it when the family are expressly saying please don’t is unforgivable. It shows exactly who he is”

@mark_slapinski If only this were true. 🙏🏼

[Dana Palubiak @DanaPalubiak]

Calling inquiry 'malpractice' while ignoring hungry kids, crumbling schools, and burned-out teachers? That's the real malpractice. But sure. The crisis is too much curiosity.

[Peter Gates @petergates3]

@DanaPalubiak @planebottle Spot on. Looks like William is a US bot.
You are absolutely correct. Ashman is not only disinterested in poverty- it plays to his gameplan.

@JayKloppenberg @JakeCowling I shudder at “Pizza maths”. Have a read of my chapter in this book!

I think ppt tends to be used badly and in her case it was her creativity, empathy with her pupils (she grew up in their disadvantaged community) and her love and grasp of maths that made it v different

[Peter Gates @petergates3]

@JayKloppenberg You are overlooking the underpinning politics and ideology between the traditional conservative and progressive libertarian

[Peter Gates @petergates3]

@JayKloppenberg @JakeCowling But also she took on a challenge to learn ppt and managed to present a usually dry and torturous thing very clear - equivalent fractions. By not talking she allowed learners to “make sense”.
Kids enjoyed it and learning is enhanced by being fun.
That’s why

[Peter Gates @petergates3]

@JayKloppenberg @JakeCowling I am guessing you aren’t a maths educator? A fundamental part of learning to do and understand maths is through visualisation in various forms. Rotating, translating, shifting, changing, moving. Talk is a rather inefficient means to teach maths. A picture paints a thousand words.

@mrallanmaths @Headteacherchat There are three resignation dates yes.

[Peter Gates @petergates3]

@JulianS85954219 @JayKloppenberg Considering you are a liberal your ability to understand social processes must be very restricted. Being a USAmerican must exacerbate that considerably.
