Ha ha, yes, we are missing something. But I think @bennewmark.bsky.social 's explanations on your missing quadrant are quite compelling. Nevertheless, I thought there used to be a bit more edu-chat on Bluesky when I first joined.

I found because there is an increasing volume of traffic on the home feed I never saw posts from edu people. Until I found the notifications setting so for example I have you and others on “alert” which means I get a notification when you post or reply. It cuts through the noisr

I don't think it exists anywhere in the same way now. It was a bizarre and brilliant bubble. I've lots of theories as to why it collapsed!

Legacy twitter seems to be bitter arguments. Bluesky seems to be agreement.
Where's the constructive engagement with people who think differently? Sign me up. (And occasionally remind me not to argue.)

I think it has spread between many platforms where it was once concentrated to one. Hoping I’m wrong and someone will let us know!

Anyway, this has eliminated any doubts from my mind that the @beckyfrancis.bsky.social Curriculum and Assessment Review was right to recommend an increase in financial literacy in secondary schools! In the meantime, maybe @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com could do some work on educating adults!

Sure, but always a faff, and then you get a tiny fraction of the original ticket cost, and no acknowledgement of the opportunity cost of the delay.

(My wheelhouse) They are bang on even if I worry how we could get the right amount of teachers. The aims are great here. Long have Physics, DT and Computing been in a bad way. These reforms from @beckyfrancis.bsky.social are absolutely needed. 👏👏
