Illich just summed up my #phd research: providing a ‘setting for encounters which are both autonomous and anarchic, focused yet unplanned and ebullient…’ (p. 41) #nerdlyf #hepitomata

Today I cried. I want to teach, and read, and write. But this is not the economy for this.

This. I’d use the rubbish word I wanted to replace, highlight it, but keep writing the sentence to capture my train of thought.
Can't find the right word? Tempted to head for the thesaurus? Be careful: you might not come back Just use any word. Use three words that mean the same thing. Use XXX and keep on writing. You can come back later and fix it up. But first keep writing. #TurbochargeYourWriting

The more I hunt for a job, the more I realise how privileged I have been to initially be a teacher, then have contacts to draw on, and now… how precarious academia is.

A real reminder today that ‘worksheets’ are fun. Motor skills of cutting and glueing. Plans to colour in when glue is dry. Oh, plus the literacy and numeracy skills.
