4 and 1/2 questions (the last one is rhetorical)

help me out:

why are school websites so often so shit?

where in Melbourne can you buy postage stamps after hours?

what makes an effective teacher? serious question, i have to write an essay.

should I switch from English to SOSE? Don't actually have to decide that till next year.

isn't my handwriting lovely and legible? especially for a McLeay.

Yes, it is important to recognise that everyone is different, but I'm not sure that it's as simple to do as to say.

my issue with your example is that what are the kids who understood method 1 doing while you are teaching method 3 to the rest of the class?

Acting up, I imagine, and disrupting the class.

Well hopefully if they're are dilligent students, they are starting to work on the associated activities now that they know how to do it.... basic example I know.

If they're interested students they're listening to method 3 so they can understand all the different ways of explaining it and can pass on the knowledge to someone else later... so then they can become a good teacher ;)
