I’m sorry for your loss and know that you will continue to live your life forward, honoring your grandpa the best way you know how

Somehow this reminds me of the Red Wheelbarrow poem by William Carlo Williams

so much depends upon

a red wheel barrow

glazed with rain water

beside the white chickens

And what do you sell, Sir?

Happy for you, mate

I think meeting people n broadening your perspective helps keep your spirit light-hearted

Way to spice up my SN life! Thanks, mate

Omg that was the intro on my mind when I typed this question too!

Thing is, I can’t even remember another intro haha

What was the most effective intro you have ever read (and somehow stays etched in your mind)?

So creative! I liked your word choices too, particularly reverie. I haven’t thought of this word for very long haha.

I wonder how you reconcile your creative mind with logical tendencies (economics proposal). Balancing the yin and yang, so to speak

Cool read!

My fifth graders’ hyperactivity is starting to get on my nerves. I understand that their prefrontal cortexes are not fully developed yet, so there is no excuse for bad behaviour. Clowning around, disturbing their classmates, treating my subject with scant respect.

Then, a brainwave came to my mind. In view of the meeting with the school leaders in November, I should start recording down every misdemeanor in my trusty notebook. (I often carry it to class.)

Which takes time away from me to plan my lessons to help my fifth graders pass their final year exams!

That’s great to hear!

Hope you are getting more sleep these days

Indeed that buffer is empowering n precious

I think I’m somewhat like you. I don’t particularly like socialising with colleagues. I’m just there to get the job done and go home. Focus on giving myself me time to take care of the kids back home haha

Love the different browns in this picture

In my society, schools actively encourage pupils to engage with chatbots as an efficient way to boost their writing skills. I think in today’s society where productivity is prized, it’s hard to cushion kids against the impact of AI and let them explore such tools at their own pace
