I thought it was about absolute monarchists vs constitutional monarchists.

Yes. Because for the past year Biden has given them free reign to murder and kill.

I live in a city of millions and there's a handful of 24/7 supermarkets around. The few times I've ever needed them in emergencies, it was creepy quiet not angry karens.

Scrap the subsidies entirely. They’re harmful and fucking over the industry.

Stop subsiding private businesses who rate hike each year yet pass none of it into the resources, building, children, or educators.

And finally pay educators better, you want high quality education? You’re not getting it when your educators rarely stay more than a year into the industry and lack all deep long term institutional knowledge.

Not to mention we’re deeply understaffed as is, and you want to put more children in when we cannot meet the demand already existing, and no a free fucking tafe course is not getting educators into the industry.

This is policy made by people who don’t step foot in the class and have zero idea of the industry.

Rattus, Modigliana, Derryn and Mixy?

I tried that. No one ever really joined. I tried posting content, and no one ever engaged with it.

Guess theres not many childcare educators on Lemmy as the reddit community is always super active.

Behaviourism (reward/punish to influence behaviour) was revolutionary 100 years ago, it’s pretty outdated by today’s educational paedagogy.

You might get a few short term “wins”, but all you’re doing long term is teaching them to focus on the reward. They're not learning an intrinsic value to the actions, and as such will be less likely to follow through once you’re not in the picture to punish/reward (e.g. at school, as teenagers doing teenager things, etc)

 

We’d been fighting for 25%, so only 10% left to go. Glad to see UWU putting some pressure on.

 

What the absolute fuck? Has anyone else seen this ad play on SBS, how can they advertise for such a piece of shit to spread his brand of hate here.

 

I've started a community to help learn and practice Irish/Gaeilge. I'm learning myself and would love to meet others who are also trying, or even people who can already speak who'd love to teach or just talk.

Or at least lots of free dinosaur related content going on.

Did you know you can buy legit fossils of Spinosaurus teeth for like $9 online, could be a special memorable gift if any child really gets into them through these events.

Edit: and free zoo entry https://www.zoo.org.au/dinos-at-the-zoo

 

Curious to hear people’s ideas on how education would look in such a world.

For me, I’d like to see it moved away from testing and results based learning.

A stronger focus on physical engagement with things, e.g. learning biology by going out and cataloging wildlife and learning what’s in a local ecosystem before coming together and researching findings and looking for new questions to ask.

Less sitting around at desks being fed information and a greater focus on individual agency in exploring topics of interest.

Not to say there isn’t a time and a place for “high level” stuff where you need to deep dive into books and listen to lectures, but there needs to be a greater balance in methodology.

 

As the title says it's a community based around early years learning and development, so from birth up to pre-school.

Mainly aimed at educators, teachers, and anyone else who works with these age ranges but more than happy to field questions from parents who may be wanting more information to help them.

It's a bit of a niche community, so I'm going to struggle to grow it but Lemmy needs more industry professional spaces!

Edit: It's a .au domain, but the community is for everyone no matter where you live.

I'm born here and a citizen, however I don't have a passport, nor a copy of a birth certificate yet I need to prove I have a right to work here for a job.

From my look on the gov site, I can use a passport to get my birth certificate or a birth certificate to get a passport. Neither of which is any bloody help.

Does anyone know what to do?

 
  • It's weird
  • It's political
  • It's recent
  • It's Australian, but the title will confuse people
  • It's the vibe

I think it'll resonate well with the Lemmy audience, see these instant upvote lyrics:

When the Orange man
Came into power
The Minutes
Soon Felt like hours
Then the Old man
Won the election
But the world
Didn’t change direction
