Continued… a thread with the messages of goodwill towards Ahmed outside his closed shop in Sutherland in #Sydney’s south. I was struck by how many kids have done drawings for the man who ran towards danger to save others. Seasons greetings #Australia! Look after one another!

A very sharp piece from @lisavisentin.bsky.social
Even as Australia reassesses its exposure to China, we still need people who understand how its system works for policy, strategy & risk.
If the market isn’t producing that talent, govt may need to consider how to.

How do we compete with Beijing when so few of us can speak Chinese?
The tiny numbers of students learning an Asian language is a “systemic failure” which will cost us dearly.

It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy. Trump admin is planning to do it anyway.

I’m genuinely so perplexed by people who don’t agree with phone bans at school.
banning phones in schools—including having them go in Faraday pouches—is just about the smartest thing boards can be doing right now www.edweek.org/technology/w...
![Timothy Callahan knew his colleagues at the North Adams school district in Massachusetts were nervous about banning cellphone use in their schools. But Callahan, an assistant superintendent at the district, was confident there’d be a “reasonable” improvement in student discipline if they implemented the ban well.
But even Callahan couldn’t have predicted what the data showed.
“A 10 percent reduction would’ve been a win,” he said. “We saw a 75 percent drop in referrals in the last quarter of the 2024 school year, compared to the same quarter the previous year. It’s almost completely attributable to the cellphone ban and [the use of] pouches,” which hold students’ devices during the school day.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:guthikarwozoldkzhueivkl6/bafkreieno2snvsv75apgkzgpqyejernpccim3kijdczp3hw5nd6cb4sy4u@jpeg)
