I can't recall exactly who recommended this documentary in my feed, but I just started watching it and wow, it's amazing:

Today is #InternationalDayofDisabilities and I'd like to show off my hearing aids once again.
Without them I'm a poorly concentrated, tired and grumpy person. With them I can talk and work for hours, I can listen and be in noisy environments without getting exhausted.
Hearing loss is an invisible disability. You can't tell that I'm hearing impaired from looking at me, because my hearing aids are often hidden by my hair or simply hard to spot behind my ears. That also makes it harder to have my needs met. Even with hearing aids I need that people look at me and speak clearly when they're talking to me.
I often feel like I'm an imposter when I call myself disabled, but the alternative is to pretend I have a normal hearing and stop functioning in everyday life. I'm beyond happy and grateful that I live in a country where I get hearing aids for free and where I have rights both as a disabled student and in the workplace.
And here are my tiny, wonderful hearing aids π

Don't just teach your students to read.
β’ Teach them to question what they read, what they study.
β’ Teach them to doubt.
β’ Teach them to think.
β’ Teach them to make mistakes and learn from them.
β’ Teach them how to understand something.
β’ Teach them how to teach others.
