Should Latin Be Taught in VCE?
Introduction: On the 31st of May 2021, I returned to Haileybury College, from which I had graduated four years prior, as a member of staff. I was now the new Latin Teaching Assistant and virtually scurrying from break-out room to break-out room to introduce myself. After the basic niceties had been exchanged, I asked each group of students what I considered to be a fairly important question: Why Latin? One of the most time-intensive subjects on the VCE roster, I assumed that no sane student would take up the subject without a good reason. And, without exception, I received some variation on the same theme: ‘Because it scales well’, with the optional addition of: ‘and I need a good ATAR to get into med’.

Look beyond Adityanath’s saffron robe. His govt is revolutionising UP’s primary education
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan brought in by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee boosted school enrolment and basic infrastructure of primary schools across India. But states such as Uttar Pradesh, marred with regional caste politics for the last one-and-a-half decade, where education was the last priority, were always left behind.

High school
High schools should start at the regular time. Teens will be able to learn responsibility and they also will know later in life if they decide to go to college, they can wake up on time. Students can do whatever they need to do after school like appointments, their after-school jobs, or just homework they need to do. Also, teachers can make school fun but strict, so students would want to come back and learn, they can have games with the lesson or play videos, etc. Most students stay up at night or they just don’t fall asleep because they are up texting or just on, they’re electric device. So overall, I think that schools should start at normal time because its more provides opportunities to do after-school activities than opening schools later and having no time after school for what they need to do.

Student Engagement and Growth Through Innovative Schooling
The digitization in the education division is long overdue. We acknowledge that schooling has been inflexible, and variations in the education system are not much appreciated. As the world adapted to the digital trend, our schools opted not to go with the flow until the virus outbreak globally.

The Day I Got Set On Fire (Metaphorically). Top Story - September 2021.
Do you ever wonder how it felt when Prometheus rose to Olympus to steal the fire of the gods? Was there a rush of power? The stomach-lurching feeling of slipping over the edge of a roller-coaster, feeling momentum take control?

It's Story Time Boys and Girls
Today in our story, let’s build a polypeptide. Imagine if you will, a big hotel (in a super big hotel chain) in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Therein worked a Master Chef, Maurice (just like any of the other Master Chefs that worked in any of the other 50 trillion hotels in the chain). Maurice had just received a very important e-mail message from the CEO of the chain, Mr. Smithers (no relation). The message stated that several of the hotels in the Tri-State area were desperately short of Maurice’s very famous frosted chocolate brownies (according to the latest hotel customer satisfaction surveys). Mr. Smithers requested that Maurice search through his unbelievably huge recipe file and find the recipe for frosted chocolate brownies and get them made, pronto, and keep getting them made until all the people in the hotels in the area had enough of those frosted chocolate brownies – his very famous frosted chocolate brownies.

Some Things You Just Never Hear
During the final eight years of my teaching career, I had the wonderful opportunity and once-in-a-lifetime experience of teaching in an International High School in Wuhan, China. There were so many things that took place on almost a daily basis in that school over those eight happy and memorable years that I will never forget and which seemed like an annoyance at the time but really were the substance of good-hearted fun. In the account below, I will list a few of them, in a format that may only make sense to teachers and students who have encountered the same experiences during the same time period.

Chairperson
Chairperson by Cleve School is as much about providing a place of safety to test skills and opinions as it is a place to book learn. It is difficult to zero in on eureka moments of most of the classes attended in high school and college, but there are two such moments that loom large in my high school days which gave impetus to the direction of the rest of my life.
