Glass Marilyn Munroe clock with plastic battery back. In immaculate condition. Twelve inches or 30.5 diameters.
A single, double battery runs the clock, which is a GETPOSH brand.
It ticks, but it fades into the background. When I checked the website, Gosh posh said they don't sell to the general public. The only other clock I've seen like it is on Etsy for $60.00, and similar clocks on Amazon (we don't buy from Amazon, do we? Coz they are wreaking the planet.) This clock came from a pet-free, smoke-free home and is as good as new.

This clock will be good for a stylish home, in a house you are selling, or for a show home.

Price: $40

Are class sizes too big these days?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Primary, secondary and kindergarten teachers are striking this week as they look for a pay offer that meets inflation at 7.2% and makes concessions around staffing issues - in particular, student to teacher ratios.

A ratio of 1 teacher for 23 students applies for year 11 students, however … View more
Primary, secondary and kindergarten teachers are striking this week as they look for a pay offer that meets inflation at 7.2% and makes concessions around staffing issues - in particular, student to teacher ratios.

A ratio of 1 teacher for 23 students applies for year 11 students, however support staff can be counted as teachers so the reality is that class sizes can be much higher.
What do you think are the ideal sizes for classrooms?

Pi Day

Pi Day is on March 14, and any day that combines fun, education, and pie is a day worth celebrating!

Pi, also known by the Greek letter “π,” is a constant value used in math that represents the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is just about 3.14….15…9265359… (and so on). Not only that, but the fourteenth of March is also Albert Einstein’s birthday, so all together it’s nothing short of a mathematician’s delight.
