The thoughts of a teacher/dad in Israel/Palestine: mostly about teaching and education, especially after the 1st of September, but also some politics, philosophy, etc.

Fan of Bill Hicks, Kurts Vonnegut and Cobain... and Arsenal FC. Former reader of poetry, novels, philosophy, politics and history.

Tel-Aviv, last night. I've been to almost all the protests, in Tel-Aviv or Ramat Gan nearby where I live. Now we breathe for a few we weeks. To continue the metaphor, no-one is holding their breath. To add another, we were at the edge of the cliff, peering over at the abyss. No we keep a watchful eye over Passover, which is also known as the Festival of Freedom/Liberty, followed by the Days of Remembrance and Independence. Then we'll see.

Yesterday I covered for four hours in 5th Grade. Early on a pupil said something along the line of Germans = Nazis. The lesson plan changed. The question became, "Why did the Nazis rise in Germany?" It started, briefly, with Egypt, Babylon, Persia and Greece (which they've been studying). Then Rome and this... (see blackboard).
Only halfway through did a pupil point out that it was #HolocaustMemorialDay
