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.

Unfortunately I doubt turning the question back will get me an HD. The requirements suggested I ask various ppls and consider why different answers. (I'm beginning to think that if I'm so uninterested in the readings then perhaps this isn't the subject for me, but I want to stick it out until I get to the TL subjects and then see.)
The irritating thing about school websites is it's not like there is some kind of difficulty in finding a web designer. Your average school library will have a bunch of books if you want to do it yourself! You'd think they'd never heard the saying "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well"! And i think it's also that someone related to a student might build them and then no one maintains them once that student has moved on. It's sometimes even difficult to use school websites to find contact details and goddamn you'd think that was a default!

What does it mean to teach effectively?
It means to successfully instruct a student in both the overt and covert lessons which one is being employed to instill. Sometimes, the covert lessons are the more important, for example: learning how to learn.
What makes an effective teacher? What does the question mean?
My best, most notably effective pedagogs--official or unofficial, professional or personal--have been those that I felt a connection with (that's not necessarily a "good" connection, btw--I've learned from negative connections as well). How about you?
Does being able to successfully teach require being able to connect?
If you want an HD, you have to find the answer which works best for you.
