I think I have pictures in the same high chair. No chainsaw though. 🤪

We came back from holidays. Nineteen year old did a great job watering the plants. Squirrels enjoyed the fruits of his labours. 😭

But seriously, if I steal some stuff from work, and get caught, I can just say "my bad" and pay for it and it's all good?

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

How do I find this doc? I can't seem to find it on the ministry website.

Please “go Native.” You’ve heard this phrase. “Welp, he’s gone Native.” Good. That would mean he’s for clean water for all, free housing for all, free medicine for all. Free childcare for all. Free education for all. So, by all means, go Native.

I often dramatically tell my family that I'm taking to my bed. Laudanum would really help me sell the vision.

A historian colleague of mine once blew someone’s mind after he asked “can’t you just look that up online?” and she replied “who do you think finds that stuff and puts it online?”

This entire thread is gold and exactly why I abandoned every leftist group I've ever encountered. A staggering number of leftist men are just narcissist weenies cosplaying as tough guys and don't have an organizing bone in your bodies yet wonder why all your grandiose plans go to shit every time.

AI, TPT, corporate intervention programs, kitchen-sink-scripted curriculums, and state-approved reading lists are trying to "teacher-proof" education to protect an ugly status quo. Designing learning with love, intention, strategy and equity is one of our most powerful forms of resistance.

Right now it should be absolutely clear why Canadians didn't travel to Minneapolis to watch IIHF World Junior hockey. That is why the stands weren't full.

It's especially rich when we tell students with little subject knowledge to double check what AI is feeding them. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I didn't read R&J until Grade 11. No Shakespeare before then. Absolutely no justification for it if we're delivering the new curriculum in my district.

It continues to be a fantasy of mine to provide a scene from one of the lesser studied plays to colleagues and ask for their insights after one cold read. We are often just passing along a shortened version of our university notes and calling it teaching.

Totally agree. So much of the usage is not an improvement over analog. Students shouldn't be on devices 4 periods a day.

As a long time magnum sub, some of the calls can be a bit repetitive. This one came out of nowhere and was absolutely fascinating. Loved the vet and hope she never has to return. 😬🤪

This might be harder for post secondary, but I will usually save some of the papers that will likely be stronger so ones that need more feedback are when you're freshest.

The reason a lot of white people can operate in the privilege of a comment like “we used to be able to have dissenting opinions & now they break friendships” is because the people of color in the room had to be silent in order to remain in the room safely.

So much variability in the job. Students change, administrators change, curriculum changes. I'm teaching a course again for the first time in 8 years and feel like a fumbly new teacher sometimes.

I'm tired of this "they'll use it anyway" argument. Comparisons to alcohol / drug use. Except we know teaching the potential problems with alcohol use, parental monitoring, and laws restricting reduce teen alcohol use. We don't just throw our hands up.

ChatGPT is "a clear-cut moral abomination and a logical culmination of modern surveillance capitalism. It is the direct result of tech companies producing products that seek to extract attention and value from vulnerable users, and then harming them grievously." Educators, we must refuse OpenAI.
