Taught a lesson on coercive control as part of the Respectful Relationships program. I honestly think that if I was in yr 12 and had lessons like these, I would not have had a 3 year relationship with a controlling partner (aged 17-20). Education QLD doing something right. I really hope other teachers do these lessons justice.

It is week 1 of IA week at school. I have been in the lab with year 12 chemists for 13 and a half hours in 3 days... The lab stays open from 2-5pm so I am doing long days. This year are by far the neediest students we have had in my time at this school. Only a week and a half to go!

Well that was a lame last 25 minutes... #TheCraftLegacy
When students leave notes in exams and you are in a "no fucks given" mood.

Can't afford to put stuff into storage for 2 years for my move to Thailand. Meaning I am selling off my collectibles. 😔 VHS and DVD gone, ex-rental horror was hard to let go. About to clear the C64 collection. If I think about it I get attached again, so trying to be less emotional. It is surprisingly hard.

I am in love with my new safety glasses! They will also do prescription lenses if you need them. 10/10 recommend. https://safestyle.com.au/

Swapped my external HDD to a 256GB flash drive for work. Hopefully I won't have an anxiety attack every time I drop my "14 years of teaching resources" on the ground.

My all time favourite movie review. #anaconda #leighwhannell #recovery

A linguistics professor was lecturing on the role of the double negative, noting that in some languages like Russian a double negative remains negative, while in other languages like French a double negative becomes positive. However, the professor observed, in no language in the world does a double positive become negative. From the back of the classroom a student replied, "Yeah. Right."
So I am going to have to make the move from Microsoft tools to Google tools for the new teaching job. Are the Workplace Training Resources for Google decent? I have 6 months to learn!

So my referees are being contacted and I have been shown a salary number that suits... I could be moving to Bangkok after all!
Who wants to direct me to KS3 and IGCSE science resources? Last time I taught it was 2010!

IB chemistry teacher in Bangkok (from Queensland, Australia). Lover of innuendos, hair metal, and geekery. Sounds like fun doesn't it?! 🕹️🧪🛼
