@mrglangford Always generous with his knowledge, time and humour. Stu will be missed.

@aliceleung The media articles include responses from Principals. Assuming the Ps got DoE approval...

@r_nd_rgh At least they're not the checkout operator?

[Simon Job @simonjob]

@r_nd_rgh and Big W

[Simon Job @simonjob]

@r_nd_rgh Clearly we don't need a pay rise.

[Simon Job @simonjob]

@r_nd_rgh Yeah, I don't get how this gives more time to schools. Just look like everything that wasn't underway has been pushed back a year.

[Simon Job @simonjob]

@r_nd_rgh I thought the timeline was being re-thought and the update hadn't been released. So, what timeline are these drafts on?

[Simon Job @simonjob]

@r_nd_rgh Not what you paid for?

[Peter South @PeterSouth68]

@gaw101 What a disgraceful, misleading headline! It isn't that 33% drop out, most of these 33% leave school for work, further training or apprenticeships. Political pressure regarding retention to year 12 is deliberately misplaced and contradicts other agendas around school-work.

[Marco Cimino @MrMCimino]

I understand the sentiment here, but, this is so wrong. We need to stop this martyr thing we have going that we need to run ourselves to the ground in order to help others.

[John Robert Frew @johnrfrew1]

After 44 years teaching, 27 as principal and authored six education books today I was told I can not teach in NSW schools because I haven't paid NESA for their 'support'. I wonder why there is a shortage of teachers?

[Simon Job @simonjob]

@r_nd_rgh If this is how AI sees people, then Skynet becoming self-aware is inevitable.

[Simon Job @simonjob]

@aliceleung Some pages with the facts showing the multiplication and division relationships... https://t.co/T5jxrEA9oI
