@perugenius I don’t know. What do the numbers say? What % of students who are good at school, not good learners? Versus the % of students who are good learners, but not good at school? #curious
Along with my on-stage events in NZ this w/end, I look forward to meeting NZ heroes with the courage to stand against government foisting of “alternative ways of knowing” on science classes.
Science is not “Western”. Science belongs to all humanity.

@GaryLineker@England@azzurri Hurts to lose a final, but you have to be competitive enough to get into a final. Since ‘66, Italy has lost 4 major finals. Well done England on finally getting back to the big match. So many positives, so many great stories of redemption for BOTH sides. #EuroCup2021#perspective
The problem in our country isn't with books being banned, but with people no longer reading. You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

On Feb. 16, 2021, all buses are cancelled & school buildings are closed to students due to inclement weather conditions.
Learning will continue at home through remote, synchronous instruction, where possible.
We are currently experiencing difficulties with BYOD for students and staff.
The IT is investigating and working to resolve.
We will provide updates as we learn more. Thank you for your patience.

Shaken and, on this occasion, stirred to hear that Sir Sean Connery has passed away. Had the pleasure of playing golf with him on a couple of occasions. A real character and for me, the best Bond. James Bond should be immortal. RIP
