In a related post was this one about how what multitasking does to our brains and how as teachers we are constantly trying to do that. Juggling a multitude things that need to be picked up and dropped, at well the drop of the hat.

When we as a society begin to explore the rationality of the amount of work output we expect from different employee groups of people AND expect it to be done consistently well, it is important to consider all the factors.Source: Flight Traffic Controllers & Teachers.
Love bombing.
I love by Alex Dimitro and then inspired I love by Courtney Martin who writes
Write one, too? Or even just a few lines?
I guess that’s tomorrow’s task now. Maybe you could do it too, just a few lines?
The board is finished. Long live the board.
Lo-ghost – Fetch Me In The Morning - YouTube
This track showed up on a playlist recently but somehow only has less than a 100 views on Youtube. STUCK in my head.
Elise and I discuss it briefly!
Don’t mind me, I’m over there, at 9am, crying at my desk.
Garlic with aubergine. Definitely not aubergine with garlic!
My migrations between other people’s classrooms in different schools reminds me to see our teachers as complete and complex human beings; sometimes tough and confident sometimes fragile and vulnerable. Sometimes walking through a private personal hell and sometimes joyfully living the best years of their lives.Source: Always Moving | Ben Newmark
Records
Just write up my haikus that I’ve mostly just been posting on WeChat.
And my exercise for the last two months recorded on a giant whiteboard. I think we’ll clean it and start again on Monday.
Sure, Elise is learning to read and that’s amazing. But, I think I’m more impressed by how she can do an awesome job of the Beyoncé part of Telephone by Lady Gaga!
Only half watching the story. I miss the UK countryside something rotten.
New idea: I will play any song the kids want again as long as they shout, “can I get a rewind?!”
Sad that Friday isn’t Ted Day.

This one was intense.
Day 41
I’m happy not being a massive audiophile but sometimes when I don’t realise I’m listening to a spatial audio track on Apple Music with my airpods is disconcerting.
Day 40
Can anyone recommend a Ted Lasso podcast?
Day 39
Maybe make a change
Maybe do the opposite
Will that be the spark?
Got my mug of dirty, brown water ready for the season finale!
This article on words of Korean origin being added to the Oxford English dictionary is interesting.
The OED said the inclusion of so many Korean words was recognition of a shift in language usage beyond the English-speaking world.
It makes me think two things. First is that always have some Korean students in my class and have learned that some words in Korean are borrowed similarly, but said slightly differently, in a Korean style. Like helicopter. Which reminds me of a Mexican girl who when asked her English name would say her name fairly flat but if you asked her her Mexican name would say it completely differently. As well that in our bilingual family, we sometimes just use Chinese words when speaking English without thinking about it. For example 鸡蛋仔dan zai，which is a kind of waffle the kids love.
That’s three things isn’t it.
