The University of Michigan has been measuring consumer sentiment since 1952. We just got the first Iran-afflicted measure for April, and it's at the lowest level ever recorded.

Good regulation is good for productivity growth. Lack of regulation is driving inefficiency. Poorly regulated building markets led to debacles like the cracking in Opal Towers and flammable cladding being expensively replaced across the country My column thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

Cutting red tape shows that when we ‘trust the market’ taxpayers usually end up footing the bill

Chart showing that since 1990 Law degree and society and culture degree fees have gone up 705%, whereas they would have only risen 160% if they went up in line with inflation. Meanwhile staff per student numbers have fallen 42%

Love when @nicolemockler.bsky.social drops truth bombs. “Respect matters. Valuing what teachers actually know and do, and recognising that it’s complex…would be a pathway to reinstating trust in the teaching profession.” blog.aare.edu.au/just-because...

Just because you went to school doesn't make you an expert on teaching

Reinstate trust in the teaching profession. That might just be the perfect place to start in fixing the teacher shortage.

How does the history curriculum both enable and constrain history teachers in developing student understandings of democracy? Claire Golledge explores the space between the curriculum as written and the curriculum as taught in different contexts. lnkd.in/e9DaTMw8 #EduSkyAU #EduSky

Next week will be the Parliament's last chance to spare voters from an onslaught of outright lies in political ads. 87% of Australians support truth in political advertising laws. Our Government should do its job. Sign and share > theaus.in/TIPApetition

Really enjoyed reading Gunnawah by @ronnisalt.bsky.social The characters and their back stories were interesting, and the plot gained speed steadily so by the end I was flicking pages furiously to finish. 1/2

Today was mainly a day of reading, a bit related to work (❤️ Biesta!), and a bit related to pleasure. Also worked a little on a literature review for entrepreneurship education. I do not celebrate the Invasion Day public holiday.

I watched a lot of the AO this year (as usual), including a day session at Rod Laver Arena. I did not watch the Men’s Final last night.

In my new blog post, I explore the ongoing binary in education which pits explicit teaching or direct instruction against discovery or inquiry learning, and call for a more nuanced conversation about pedagogy. melanieralph.com/2025/01/18/t...

We live in a Christmas light street. This morning we found a soft toy cat with a Santa hat on our mailbox and were sad someone lost it. This evening I was watering the garden and early visitors to the street spotted the toy and screamed Christmas Cat! The children are cousins with the owner. 1/2

On Wednesday Carmel (ACU) and I ran a workshop at the AARE 2024 Conference. Our participants put their brains to work 🧠 and writing hands into action ✍️ to examine literature about classroom readiness and if it was the same as what we could see or if they had new insights to share.

I’m working on a literature review (aka downloading pdfs) for entrepreneurship education in schools. Each time I come across an article that was in my PhD thesis, my heart and head greets them with, “Hello, my old friend”.

Time for a good story. We ordered a cake for a party last Saturday. The person picking it up was running very late. The owner had locked up and started his trip to Canberra when he was called. He went back to the store and left the cake with the shop next door, allowing us to pay during the week.

First I archived my old place account. Then, thanks to a whole lot of help from Redact, I have deleted all my tweets, RTs and likes. I then deactivated my account. I am very sad but it wasn’t the place it used to be.

Last night I scrolled through the accounts I followed on the bird app. Through this process I realised how much what started as a network of educators for me had turned into my news source, particularly for politics. Whatever Bluesky becomes, I hope for a better world.
