The world according to Trump 2017 - 2021





The world waits to see what 2017 will bring.




It seems you can fool most of the people all the time...


Trumps agenda - America to be run by a one man band. Even true Republicans are worried



Sanders - a lost opportunity to help those left behind. The future requires a political party to provide for all.













Democracy in America - a game for millionaires to play


Forget Obamacare - look after the rich!



The Republicans will provide better care for the poor - yeah right!


The world will miss this family - Obama blocked at every turn by the Republicans.

Burnt out teachers and stressed students / Armistice Day / creative education

11th of the 11th 1918 Education Readings   By Allan Alach I know a school I know a school where almost all the students are successful. It's an interesting plac e. They don't give grades at this school. There are no numbers. No test scores. No SAT, ACT, no GPA or other acronyms. No rankings. Yet, the kids are more than alright. They create amazing things. They contribute to their communities in all sorts of ways. They're happy. They love coming to school. Those that want to go to college after they graduate. Others take different paths, which everyone celebrates. We talk about success in schools as if it were a data point. It's not. And even if it were, you really think the data we're collecting now equates to success in any but the most tenuous ways? Look at your kids. Talk to them. See if they love to learn. See if they have passion. See if they care. See if they're happy. Those are much clearer indicators of "success" than any set of numbers can sup...

Education Readings By Allan Alach Every week Bruce Hammonds and I collect articles to share with teachers to encourage a creative approach to teaching and learning. I welcome suggested articles, so if you come across a gem, email it to me at allanalach@inspire.net.nz Teacher strike. Put yourself in teachers' shoes ‘Teacher strikes are an inconvenience to parents for all of one day but I wonder if those who moan have really put themselves in the shoes of the teachers . Have they asked why they're doing it? As the teachers say, they are doing it for the future of our children. ’ http://bit.ly/2r2TBIp Our teachers earn apples and oranges so let's bring back the 1970's way of offering them free housing ‘The day the teachers went on strike, someone put a simple graphic on Facebook. It set out two sets of salary numbers.: MP $18,000 - Teacher $17,360; Today: MP $160,024 - Teacher $78,000. This was something I'd been lamenting for ages, possibly even in this column: when ...

Education Readings By Allan Alach I welcome suggested articles, so if you come across a gem, email it to me at allanalach@inspire.net.nz To Help Students Learn, Engage the Emotions ‘ Emotion is essential to learning, Dr. Immordino-Yang said, and should not be underestimated or misunderstood as a trend , or as merely the “E” in “ SEL, ” or social-emotional learning. Emotion is where learning begins, or, as is often the case, where it ends. Put simply, “It is literally neurobiologically impossible to think deeply about things that you don’t care about,” she said.’ http://nyti.ms/2sX85g0 Let’s Stop With The Worksheets And Create Engaged Readers ‘Picture a classroom full of youngsters. They could be darling, chubby-cheeked kindergartners or swaggering, confident high school seniors – or anything in between. Can you see them? Now, picture this class engrossed in reading.  What does being engrossed in reading look like? What does it sound like? What evidence exists that true, engaged r...
