Great message. Part of what is so fun about primary teaching is “general knowledge” - helping kids just learn about “things”, all sorts of things, isn’t just interesting and varied, it also sets up academic success.

Are we doing elementary students a disservice by focusing on discrete skills over rich background knowledge when we teach reading? Education writer @natwexler weighs in.

The stress teachers and educational leaders feel is real and damaging. It is amplified by sometimes profoundly challenging student behaviour - which is in turn sometimes amplified by challenging parent behaviour. A society cannot afford to neglect its young, or its teachers.

Need help finding a study: I’m sure I recall one where one group made one small daily creation, and one had a month to work on one big project. The group with iterative tasks had a far better result at the end. Ring any bells for anyone?

We are showing our hair، we are dancing, we are singing and all these activities are forbidden in Iran for us just because we are girls. We break all the discriminatory laws every day. We risk our lives but we know that freedom is not free. We have to fight for it. #MahsaAmini

Schools have been asking to see a copy of Berwickshire High School’s Lesson Evaluation Toolkit. It’s included below. Remember: it’s a reflective tool, not a tick-list. You can read about how to develop one for your school, and how best to use it, in The Teaching Delusion book.

@johnqgoh To be fair, John, they are complying with the Public Health Orders, aren’t they? Any non-government school could do the same. At least they’re being honest - I doubt mask non-wearing is actually being treated as a discipline issue in every high school.

@knausc Is "profit" the right term? I thought not-for-profits record "surpluses". Businesses can distribute profits as income, not-for-profits distribute surpluses in a manner aligned with the reason for which they are not-for-profit, right? Maybe they're saving for a big capital spend?

@liammannix Hi Liam, while it wasn't the focus of your article, I think it's important whether teachers are safe when schools are opened. If COVID is transmissible, but not serious, among students, but they can give it teachers, surely that is an important part of the equation?

@lindsayjskinner @hstevavo Your mate @hstevavo is correct. This is the best way to graph things that grow exponentially. Not misleading, just requires careful reading.

Hi @Cozmo23 , I'm a long-term D player, but only once a week b/c life. This article is pretty close to how I feel about seasonal content disappearing... forbes.com/sites/paultass… Couldn't things live on like the Forges?

@CricketAus Hey @CricketAus, I'm curious if there is a /rule/ that makes the men's team the men's team? Could a female cricketer play in the men's team if she wanted and she was selected?
