#edchatie On the day that the State exams start, just heard a radio advertisement on Newstalk (!) from the Department of Education blithely encouraging people to become teachers using the catchphrase “Teaching Transforms” Me:

Matt Kennard Look at the current population density in Gaza compared with Dublin and Tel Aviv and tell the world that what Israel is doing isn't ethnic cleansing or genocide.

There's only one thing worse than two grown male adults acting like petulant children, and that's two grown males adults with huge amounts of power and wealth acting as petulant children.

Why isn’t the genocide in Gaza being stopped? Because it pays—and racism justifies it. My upcoming report lays it bare. Palestinians have long been the testing ground for weapons, tech, and even agriculture. If you think you are not involved, you are naive. If you think you are

There are big issues, just ask ISTA , but there are also an abundance of subject specific ones. For instance: I'm supposed to teach Drama, Film and Theatre next September but, as yet, I have NO equipment, NO fitted out room, and NO sign of either arriving on time.

We have yet to receive ANY equipment for Drama, Film and Theatre from the Dept. No classroom is equipped to teach this subject. Threaten all you want, exclude all you want, but please do the very least that you promised. (Equipment should have been arriving since Feb)

Such a juvenile response. Minister only short of shouting "I hate you ... I hate you" at ASTI members just like Veruca Salt out of Willy Wonkas Chocolate Factory. McEntee said at the teacher conferences she was prepared to listen to teachers. Well that didn't last long.

The Minster has resorted to gaslighting teachers, parents and students in one go. "...this strong package of supports for teachers, schools and students on offer.” #edchatie
