Young people are good with computers, so we don't need to teach them computing basics in school anymore.

[some years later]

Huh, the younger generation isn't very good with computers. Wonder why that is… Let's blame it on short attention spans and tiktoks or something.

#MuseumEducators are a bit thin on the ground in the Fediverse and I'd really like to collect some more!

So do you work in a #musuem, #gallery, #archive, #library or other #heritage sector organisation in a role which focuses on #learning and #education? Please say hi, especially if you're in the UK!

If not, do you know anybody who does? Please introduce us!

If neither of the above fit then a boost would still be very much appreciated.

Note: When I post things like this I tend to get helpful replies about following #tags: I know this, and I do! I'm looking for people rather than posts: there aren't many of either and the relevant #tags are just so much tumbleweed so far. There _must_ be museum educators out there somewhere (but they're not posting about museum education things because they haven't found anyone else who cares...): I'm trying to build that community.

I think someone needs to remind labor of a few facts:

1 Whitlam introduced free tertiary education, Keating took it away.
So stop saying you are doing our kids a favour by changing the interest rates. You aren’t, you started the problem.
2. Rudd opened up free tv to show gambling advertisements.
So stop saying by putting some arm waiving restrictions on it you are doing us a favour. We want it stopped all together.

Stop telling us about what you can’t do because you are in bed with lobbyists, start telling us what you are going to do because we voted for you.
