@greg_ashman Claude seems to check its work and ensure questions actually work.

I prompted the main LLMs with “Write me a multi part VCE maths methods exam 1 question” and Claude easily won on quality. Is this a fluke or is Claude generally better for this stuff?

@mrglangford Always generous with his knowledge, time and humour. Stu will be missed.

Confirmed this time: Vale Stu Hasic, punniest man I’ve ever known. My heart goes out to his family.

@aliceleung The media articles include responses from Principals. Assuming the Ps got DoE approval...

I’m not the biggest fan of the school rankings articles in the media at the moment. I’m also not convinced the media needs access to more data to do more rankings.

@r_nd_rgh At least they're not the checkout operator?

@r_nd_rgh and Big W

@r_nd_rgh Clearly we don't need a pay rise.

@r_nd_rgh Yeah, I don't get how this gives more time to schools. Just look like everything that wasn't underway has been pushed back a year.

@r_nd_rgh I thought the timeline was being re-thought and the update hadn't been released. So, what timeline are these drafts on?

@r_nd_rgh Not what you paid for?

@gaw101 What a disgraceful, misleading headline! It isn't that 33% drop out, most of these 33% leave school for work, further training or apprenticeships. Political pressure regarding retention to year 12 is deliberately misplaced and contradicts other agendas around school-work.

I understand the sentiment here, but, this is so wrong. We need to stop this martyr thing we have going that we need to run ourselves to the ground in order to help others.

After 44 years teaching, 27 as principal and authored six education books today I was told I can not teach in NSW schools because I haven't paid NESA for their 'support'. I wonder why there is a shortage of teachers?

@r_nd_rgh If this is how AI sees people, then Skynet becoming self-aware is inevitable.

@aliceleung Some pages with the facts showing the multiplication and division relationships... mathslinks.net/faculty/times-…

Maths teachers - Besides saying “practice memorising it at home”, how do you help students build fluency in times tables in year 7? Especially when it’s just some students who need the support.

The NSW Syllabus browse page on MathsLinks has been updated for the new 3 - 6 and 7 - 10 syllabus. Many existing resources have been mapped to the new syllabus. mathslinks.net/browse/nsw-syl…
