Children are not dandelions. Their learning doesn’t thrive in any old conditions we adults choose to confer on them. They’re more like orchids, flourishing when we adults provide optimal conditions. Natural experiments, such as the one described in this latest episode of #SoldAStory Season 2 bear this out. Outstanding journalism once again from @ehanford 🙌
This is the strongest episode of Season Two so far. It reduced me to tears. It’s heartbreaking to understand we could educate more disadvantaged kids if we did what works, not just what we prefer.

When Karl Stefanovic platformed Tommy Robinson on his podcast in June 2026 with a 30 minute toadying session that ended with him telling Robinson, "God, I love ya", Karl was well aware that Robinson had been charged with 2 counts of harassment causing fear of violence to 2 British journalists. Quite the journalist's champion is our Karl. Just goes to show the calibre of the man.
The richest man in the world has so far spent over £400,000 on Tommy Robinson’s legal fees. He’s obviously an asset. That’s why he appeared in the Epstein files, with Steve Bannon telling Jeffrey Epstein that Tommy Robinson was “cheap @ any price”.

Unfortunately your question shows where straw man propositions and and poor survey design coalesce.

The courage shown by the alleged victim in coming forward & her wellbeing are the only thing that matters. That rightly will play out through due process. Sanctions imposed on the Swans for the lack of standards, bringing the game and their club into disrepute should be welcomed

We have some exciting news – meet the Impact Teaching Group (ITG)! Today we're launching a new group identity that brings together our work across curriculum, pedagogy and assessment. Impact Teaching Group brings Ochre Education, Teach Well and Impact Assessment all coherently under one roof. As part of this change, Ochre Education will become Impact Curriculum in September 2026. Our free core curriculum resources remain free, forever. Together, the three organisations within ITG make it easier for schools to access coordinated support across all three pillars of teaching excellence. Everything we do is guided by one purpose: to drive excellence and equity in Australian schools, and support teachers to change lives through great teaching, with particular attention to students in schools experiencing disadvantage. Not-for-Profit Ochre Education wholly owns Teach Well and Impact Assessment. Revenue from all three organisations is reinvested into creating, maintaining and improving our free core resources. Our new website is live: ap1.hubs.ly/y0YwMs0 Follow us here and across our social platforms to stay connected with the work ahead. Find out more: ap1.hubs.ly/y0Ywx30

Penny Wong has blasted Peter Dutton saying he “fabricated a statement” & tried to “verbal the President of Indonesia in order to make a domestic political point.” Says he is “too reckless, too aggro”💥 I know we are in an election campaign, but Peter Dutton needs to resign now.

Just in case anyone thinks that men’s perpetration of sexual violence, using drugs and alcohol to immobilise, make vulnerable, or overpower women and then rape them and film this, is exclusive to France, here is a story from Australia: abc.net.au/news/2024-09-26/a…

In light of this week's events - the commodifying of a mental illness, the calls of forgiveness that none have asked for, all those tortured lives under his government, the grifting until the dying of the light, all those lost lonely lives. I still stand by every word. .

Since the pandemic and all the anti-vax conspiracy theories flooded the internet, measles rates in Europe have increased by 30 times. There are consequences to allowing lies to spread freely through social media. #VaccinesWork #Vaccine

St Patrick's day is my birthday, and what an appropriate day to hear that my friends in Ireland would like me to run Spelling for Life in Dublin and Cork when I'm over there in May! More details as we have them! ☘️☘️🎉🥳

”Parents who deliver their children to school on that momentous first day of kindergarten, proudly starting them on a venerable path to education, make a big mistake: they assume that their child’s teacher has been taught how to teach reading. They haven’t.” Prof Seidenberg.

So you didn’t even think about what it would mean to FN people. Your reason to vote No was just because you were asked to vote yes? Or is this just an excuse to justify your choice.

And after a couple of hundred years would we be saying "oh well, we should just get over it and move on"?
