This is my final thought on last week’s MOE Work Plan Seminar (WPS) 2011. Honest!

I just started following @LeticiaBongnino on Twitter. This is a parody account of “a celebrity maid”.

Many of her tweets are hilarious and here are two that have accidental relevance to the main theme of the WPS:

You can pay for school, but you can't buy class.

Knowledge is power, and power corrupts. So study hard and be evil.

Tongue-in-cheek the tweets may be, but there is truth behind the humour. They give us something to chew on as we attempt to better integrate values into schooling.
