The Anseo.net Newsletter features my thoughts on the Irish Primary Education System.
Over the last week, I’ve written and read about some topics of interest to me. While I don’t agree with the content of all of them, they have made me think.
After the riots in Dublin, I pondered on being an unremarkable ancestor of an unvetted migrant myself.
Meanwhile, people are forgetting the reason Enoch Burke was fired from his position and a myth is emerging. Is Enoch Burke becoming a martyr? After being told the purpose of Catholic schools is NOT to pass on the faith, I asked four people what makes a Catholic school Catholic?
Finally, local papers are a great source for finding out where your local TD is spending their time instead of dealing with systematic issues. Why is the Education System reliant on political representations? I also wondered why the minister is still fiddling with Smartphones while school principals are burning out.
You can check out all of the articles I found interesting over the last while on my Feedly page.
Twitter (now X) may be a difficult place these days but there are still a lot of good conversations and commentary in there. Here are some posts that caught my eye.
- An interesting paper on how the Teaching Council and the Inspectorate do not share a single vision
- Inclusive workplaces – we’re seriously lagging behind!
- France considering re-introducing uniforms in schools
- The biggest threat in primary schools isn’t mobile phones?
- Some parents want teachers to tell them not to buy Christmas Presents
