I love this @brookssensei.bsky.social! It is a whole different way of looking at the world.. I’d love to see it included in the school curriculum as a stand specialist subject from k-10. It offers so much.. @jax1607.bsky.social is leading the way with this at North Harrisdale PS

Thanks @mrschom.bsky.social You’ll have to come on our next course.. you can do this too!

This is one of my most favourite books.. I really love that you thought of it too!

Today at the Philosophy Cafe we asked the question ‘can you own an idea?’ This is a question that has relevance in so many areas of life.. and hinges on how you come to ‘own’ something.. whether you can ‘own’ something not tangible..and what rights that brings you.. What do you think? #EduSkyAu

Great answer - has it changed you in any way.. or is still the same ‘you’ underneath?

The Philosophy Cafe re-opens for the new school year as we asked the traditional ‘start of year’ question: Who are you? Are you the same person you were at the end of last year- or have you changed? Is there a part of ‘you’ that remains constant- while other bits change? What do you think? #EduSkyAu

I’m making the most of my last weekend before school starts back.. my favourite seat.. a good book..Nick Drake in the background.. I’ll miss this.. #lazysaturday #EduSkyAu

Great recommendations-I’ll check them out. And thanks for the link to the documentary.. I’m loving it!!

I’d be very interested in some recommendations for the curious and beginner house music listener.. I have so far enjoyed Joey Negro, Frankie Knuckles and Louie Vega.. I’ve been a long term fan of St Germain and Massive Attack- but didn’t realise these were classified as House..!

This summer I challenged myself to be curious.. in so doing I unexpectedly discovered a penchant for House music..! It made me wonder why I hadn’t discovered it sooner! Where has it been all my life?? #EduSkyAu Where will your curiosity take you..??

I’m Andrew- I teach Philosophy at a high school in Perth. My passions are to teach students to be curious, to ask questions and to think for themselves. I’m an advocate for using skills of critical and creative thinking across all areas of the curriculum. Oh.. and I also have ADHD! #EduSkyAu

Wow @mrschom.bsky.social - this is a beast! How are you finding it? I’ve had mixed reviews..

Nice one..! Lots to digest in there..! Let me know what you think..

One of the best things about being on school holidays is that I get to read for me.. here is my favourite of these holidays. It’s only a short read.. but one to be savoured and thought about.. #EduSkyAu

I’d love to be connected via this list: bsky.app/profile/phil...

You could add me..? I work in this space..

It was with great sadness and a sense of pride that I stepped down from my role as Chair of Association for Philosophy in Schools after 4 years of service. Time to pass the baton on to the next exciting generation of enabling thinking in students and teachers.. #P4C

In short- We need to teach students how to think .. no better motivator. And what better way to do that than teach Philosophical thinking..

Agreed- philosophy for children or P4C or philosophy in schools would be awesome..

Happy World Philosophy Day! Take a minute today to consider some meaningful questions about who we are, what we know and how we should behave.. it might be the start of something beautiful! Happy pondering.. #worldphilosophyday

This would be very interesting to me.. I wonder if I might be blue to participate?
