There are things we know and things we are learning as educators. Individual practitioners in distinct contexts have different results from the same approaches. Maybe seeking understanding rather than creating divisive camps is a better approach?

History is full of well intended ideas that had disastrous unforeseen circumstances

Trusting a government to scan your kids' eyeballs & create a database of your nation's children for "age verification" purposes is a horrible way to get TikTok off their phone

May I suggest: parenting?

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

Slowly moving in and checking out the neighbourhood… starting to find the #edusky #onted folks. Hey there 👋 is this place the breath of fresh air we need?
