"You can just say no." My teaching improved when I embraced this fact.

I was with a panel of people who were all making good arguments about why AI will never replace this or that skill or job, so maybe we'll be okay, and I finally said to one teacher: "you can just say no. you don't have to use it. it steals from people and teaches no skills. it's not a good tool."

Yes, I think so, with some caveats. Not a full back piece and probably something that has meaning independent of her. Not out here walking around with a 🐬 tattoo talking about, "My ex..."

Okay #Foundation! Really enjoy a series that makes you love characters, hate them, then love them again, before you hate them. Not a "will they or won't they" love arc, but when you see someone as evil then you, "well, actually..."

That I don't have fun everyday. As a child there was lunch, recess, cartoons after school, playing outside, etc almost every day.

Now, I do things to starve off other more annoying things from happening. Write this, research that, eat fast so you're ready for the meeting.

Priorities whacked.

Not sure why that came immediately to mind, but it did.

Just as a not so insignificant point, such a level would mean that the majority of people born in the UK would not be able to meet this criteria, considering the percentage (fewer than half) who actually complete A levels, let alone ones which effectively demonstrate an A Level standard of English.

Migrants will be required to pass A Level standard of English

Dystopian doesn't cover this. People armed with whistles ensuring the government doesn't disappear kids. Resist, combat, educate; a line was crossed somewhere and we have to get it back.

Slackermom @slackermom.bsky.social · 5d

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Of the places I've been, I'd say Toulouse, Paris, or Montpellier have the strongest appeal to me at present. I don't think I'm blending in most places😅

Yesterday we received word that the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) within Dept of Ed (DoEd) was gutted--right now we believe there is no one or nearly no one left. But what does it mean? 1/11

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Had a video call with my parents today and I really enjoyed it, even though they couldn't hear me and kept putting the phone to their ears.

My mom accused me of not talking, but then said she'd left her hearing aids at home.

People are really asking me why the mainstream news is barely reporting the closing of special ed dept at DoEd like all our big media companies aren't owned and run by absolute psychopaths.

That's absurd. Why would I want to "Discover" whom I've muted?

It's like they took real ingredients and handed us a playdough cake.
