Quick introductory post: I teach English as a Second and Third language and Ethics to high schoolers in Germany. I also support students with Special Educational Needs and am a passionate advocate for accommodations for those who need them. I've been teaching for >20 years and still love it. #edusky
We're sick of the dark and cold already - just booked a summer holiday in Croatia so that's something to look forward to...

I still get emails occasionally from our old bank in Australia. To unsubscribe I have to log in to my account, which I am no longer able to do. Anyway, the subject line today was "scheduled outage."

I read it as "scheduled outrage."

Hey, #EduSky... Does your system expect/allow ranking of students? Either in their reports (like, mark 78%, rank 11/30) or when returning tests and assignments? If so, is it ever made public? (Like "congratulations X, Y and Z, you all got an A?")

This year we're doing Whamutopia. Every time you hear Last Christmas you have to have a mulled wine at your earliest convenience and toast George Michael, because he was a lad

Excited for this discussion today. Thinking back to Almeida Theatre's live streamed production a few years ago - sheer brilliance.

Folks with Diabetes!

There is an urgent recall on some FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors because they are showing false low glucose readings.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.
