Literacy is a struggle because capitalism has stolen the joy of learning.

But we do what we can. We modify, adjust, push back and create the space needed for curriculum to be more than dreary pages in a consumable book.

A mentor once shared a quote I have never forgotten with a room full of educators: "culture eats strategy for breakfast." This is the root of many of the issues and the way to solve for them, if you are brave enough.

Your insight belongs in the room.

Teaching isn’t easy.
It was never meant to be done alone.

Paging Tulsi Gabbard circa 2019.
Screenshot of a post by Tulsi Gabbard on X dated January 24, 2019. The post states that the United States should stay out of Venezuela and allow the Venezuelan people to determine their own future, arguing that the U.S. should not choose other countries’ leaders. The image shows text only, along with Gabbard’s profile photo and verification badge.

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.
Denise C. @SpudBenBean · Follow A woman who rang ABC Sydney radio said she found out about the Optus outage from her cat. The cat has an automatic wi-fi feeder (connected to Optus) & when breakfast wasn't delivered at 6:10 am, the cat went to the bedroom to lodge a complaint with management.
