Erm…wasn’t it the Tories under Thatcher that got rid of apprenticeships causing a massive shortfall in skilled labour that was then addressed by the migrant labour Brexit promised to stop 🤔

Have you noticed how email signatures are boasty and long, like a mini-CV? #FEAS Signature Spruik is an intervention into this masculinist, hyper-individualised, outcome driven practice. To find out how to participate, go to: feministeducatorsagainstsexi…
All too familiar for academic workers. A broken system that rewards unhealthy and unsustainable practices around work. There’s also a gendered hierarchy at play that mimics nuclear family ideals around who does care work.

Ain’t that the truth! But why actually address the real issues (chronic underfunding, teacher remuneration) when you can conducts endless enquires and blame ITE for education’s woes?
Plus we need to understand education as a discipline - research is really important here - it’s how we improve, change and challenge.
‘Do as I say’ is the exact approach that is being advocated in this review. Learning science is a way to approach learning and teaching. Also, a lot of ITE is taught by casual (precariously employed) workers, many of whom either still teach in schools.
Here we go again. Learning science will solve the teacher shortage. Chronic underfunding, the public/private school divide and teacher workloads clearly have nothing to do with the state of education, which remains the most politicised profession.
“The report assumes new graduate teachers deliver poor teaching & their university education is to blame. This premise has been challenged by recent studies, which show new teachers teach just as well as those with years of experience”💯 @Jennygore4 theconversation.com/teaching…
Teacher educators do walk into classrooms and teach, higher education teaching is teaching. They model techniques, they have deep and research informed understandings of pedagogy. More than that, they understand that there are many factors contributing to educational outcomes.
Important, timely and disturbing work from @stephwescott_ and Steven Roberts (Monash). The research points to the urgent need for women teachers to be heard and for action to be taken: canberratimes.com.au/story/8…
We’re so sad to hear that Tina Turner has died. What a legend and a true inspiration. Such a survivor. RIP TT

Far out - this is awe inspiring. What an incredible and powerful voice.
I agree, Stan. We in the media have poison in our bloodstream.
(I too have often wondered how to stay in an industry so unethical.)
POC in the media must be able to speak w/o being predator trolled.
“I am down but I will get back up. And you can come at me again and I will meet you with the love of my people.” Stan Grant delivers a powerful message on Q+A before taking a break from the media. #StanGrant #QandA #WeStandWithStan

“You know that was rape, don’t you?”
All the myths others tell us + we tell ourselves about what rape actually looks like
This was never a story I thought I'd be telling - about myself

Thanks for writing this piece, for highlighting the horrors hidden beneath the seemingly mundane - like song lyrics. So much work to be done.
