it’s preparing the curriculum for “AI” “teachers”. it’s really hard to read the prescriptiveness any other way in the current context.

Dr. Cassandra Mudgway @legallyfeminist.bsky.social · 2d

The new curriculum is cooked. It treats teaching like it's just standing at the front of the class making kids learn an endless series of facts for 6 hrs a day. The science lists of bullet points all end w a dead western scientist they (presumably) need to learn abt & cram for an assessment. Cooked.

I’ve just realised that new curriculum was written by people who think winning a pub quiz is a measure of well educated you are.

10/16 — proving once again that many people vote from their limbic system and not their frontal cortex.

On one hand I am chastened, eager to learn the deeper rationales behind these people’s choices and explore the make-up of their information environments.

On the other hand we are surrounded by complete fucking idiots holy shit.

Be interesting to see if the current clusterfuck coalition are prepared to fund the sort of eradication effort that went into eliminations of white tussock moth & painted apple moth in the 90s given the risk to horticulture See shorturl.at/duvuG

Talk about missing the point. Maybe the current land use is no longer compatible with the climate. Managed retreat is not just about removing homes from areaswith increasing coastal inundation. www.rnz.co.nz/news/country...

People are right to criticise Labour for the lack of ambition but this small step (in line with polls of the NZ public) getting the most outrageous sky-is-falling responses from govt ministers is a win. Willis is out there sweating the small stuff—the ideological dogma is a huge weakness.
