A linguistics professor was lecturing on the role of the double negative, noting that in some languages like Russian a double negative remains negative, while in other languages like French a double negative becomes positive. However, the professor observed, in no language in the world does a double positive become negative. From the back of the classroom a student replied, "Yeah. Right."

@DrRacheal Very much. Now we just have to downsize a 4 bedroom house and rumpus to a small storage space and 4 suitcases... Got 6 months at least.

So I am going to have to make the move from Microsoft tools to Google tools for the new teaching job. Are the Workplace Training Resources for Google decent? I have 6 months to learn!
@edutooters

@DrRacheal Is there any evidence to suggest new teachers are signing up for those areas or current teachers are upskilling?

@kellystanford@mastodon.social I look forward to hearing about what you do! Shame that the cloud was so essential to them. Potential electronic waste is so high!

So that Bangkok job I applied for? It starts in August! I got it! Now to start culling all my belongings and pack up the family. In 6 months we leave!

@trinsec Ha. No. The aquarium one that just has fish swimming about seems very popular.

So my referees are being contacted and I have been shown a salary number that suits... I could be moving to Bangkok after all!
Who wants to direct me to KS3 and IGCSE science resources? Last time I taught it was 2010!

@trinsec Just looked them up! So fun. Only seen/used them in casino foyers....

@DrRacheal Adorable 3D and bodily/slapstick. Fun for all. Gudetama was also ace.

@DrRacheal Have you watched Brown And Friends on Netflix with Luna yet? Edison loves it!
