    Is this not already part of the course? I feel like these are all things I've taught to juniors before.

    Can’t wait to see the new K-10 Language syllabuses implemented in NSW schools.

    ❤️ that this is the new normal: books in translation alongside English-originals, with no special comment justifying / explaining their inclusion. And translators credited. And the books are 🔥.

    David Ogden Stiers. I remember how you skateboarded to work every day down busy LA streets. How, once you glided into Stage 9, you were Winchester to your core. How gentle you were, how kind, except when devising the most vicious practical jokes. We love you, David. Goodbye.

    Gonna make this a thread and add bits as I go through the report. Like... Of 50 Royalties for Regions projects examined, only five of business cases were considered adequate. Two-thirds of the projects failed to achieve either social or economic outcomes.

    Could the rest of the world tell us just how much it sucks not having a Prime Minister who looks like the star of a new scandi-noir series.

    This thread is fascinating.

    He's not a genius. He's not "crazy like a fox." He's not a master strategist. He's a 71 year-old, below-average-intelligent, spoiled, trust fund-supported, born-on-3rd-thought-he-hit-a-triple, sexually harassing asshole in mental decline. Stop looking for what isn't there.
