A little side project for those of us that forget to empty the dishwasher
We have a rota in our staffroom for emptying the dishwasher. I am famous for forgetting to do it (totally undeservedly in my view!!) I've created RotaMate which produces a rota for job but it also notifies people when it's their turn! youtube.com/watch?v=NyvJ11…

Why this reunion idea might not be anything to sing about…. The education convention 📌 published this weekend simonmlewis.substack.com
England has one of the shortest breaks in the world. Learning doesn’t suffer, otherwise children in many other countries wouldn’t be bilingual for starters. We shouldn’t conflate education with childcare; they’re not the same. The issue is a lack of clubs for children to do.

📌 New Podcast Episode - What we can learn from the UK when it comes to religion in schools simonmlewis.substack.com/p/what-we-can-… 🔗 slew.is
Did you know why Irish is the 3rd most spoken language in Ireland, and what should we do about it? For once, I'm endorsing schools to be the solution to one of life's problems pod.fo/e/129d9b #edchatie
Segregating kids by religion leads to serious societal harm. Let's learn from history and avoid the ghettoisation effect. Education systems must evolve. 📚 bit.ly/3IrTQrm
I’ve been writing about religious control of schools for well over a decade and I’ve found that people tend to throw the same arguments out. bit.ly/3IrTQrm
Many families send their children to Gaelscoileanna, not because of their devotion to the Irish language, but because they perceive them to be better schools. bit.ly/3IrTQrm
Should the Supplementary Panel be scrapped? I start off thinking it should, then change my mind again and again. pod.fo/e/129d9c #edchatie
