Can't be worse than the Prometheus crew who remove their masks just because the O2 is good, no concern for infection or eyeball parasites.

But also, and super simple, the female gaze doesn't result in significant violence and threat of harm to 50% of our population.

My current school is k-12. I love it. It's an insane way to spend the day when I get down to teach the little ones for class covers away from my usual HS Leadership role. There is so much love and chaos in those rooms. If I could do it again, I would be primary all the way.

That does seem to look like it's taking agency/blame away from HS teachers and that's not OK. We need to be responsible as well.

Now I'm arguing with myself.

I also think one of the great things I saw you talking about at a conference once was the all girls STEM club.
Unrelated, I wonder if there's tracking in K-12 schools of primary school teachers attitudes to STEM and and the uptake of optional STEM subjects in HS?

I was @ a school for 11 years, when I arrived (Chem/Physics teacher teaching Bio to start). Bio teachers would openly say that Bio was more suitable to girls in class. Over that decade, they worked to put female teachers in physics and over that time female participation increased dramatically.

Generally, I love your work but the detentions work thing seems to be going against a very large body of evidence there.

In an Australian teacher shortage, we're often the first one in line to cover a class (or full day of classes).

A great resource for this for those unsure of how to get started in the #designthinking world is the Future Problem Solving program. They have a community projects program that our students have had real success with and provided newbie teachers (to design thinking) a nice framework to get started.

Good thing White Australia spent so long destroying our culture, separating us from one another and working to break down our ties with nation and community.
