Jaeluni Asjil posted:As a couple of teachers have manifested ITT, I was wondering: It's very unusual now for a child to change year groups. When it does happen, it tends to be where a child has special needs and it's felt that them being able to re-do a year (often either Nursery or Reception) is going to let them develop to the point where they could more reasonably cope with the demands of more formal education. I can't think of a state primary school that would actually let a child move to a higher year group, for a couple of reasons: 1) Everything at schools is much more rigorously-controlled than it was even 15 years ago. A child skipping a year of education is going to have a lot of catching-up to do. I'm not a teacher, but I'm in schools a lot of the time and most subject learning seems built on previous learning, so what a child learns in Maths in Year 2 is built on in Year 3; so if you miss anything, you might struggle to catch up. And there really isn't the staffing to give children the opportunity to catch up - 'floating Teaching Assistants' are basically a thing of the past thanks to Tory austerity. Hell, even the children with special needs barely get the support they're legally entitled to most of the time. [edit] Also, Year 6 SATs are very important to schools, so they'll be looking to squeeze every bit of value-added from a child they can. Skipping a year does not add value for a school. 2) It can isolate a child from their peers. In primary school, because children spend so little time mixing with other classes (maybe for phonics, or if they're in interventions for Maths/English), they often don't know many children in other classes. Moving them up a year forces them to make new friends - which can be hard - and doing that at a time when their learning is suddenly much harder than they're used to could have a negative impact on their emotional well-being. This is arguably even more of an issue now with the Govt forcing schools to become academies and smaller schools merging. 3) Schools are supposed to have programmes/systems in place to support 'gifted' children. So why would a child need to be moved class when they can just access the gifted children programme*. And actually, at the risk of sounding harsh, a lot of children do quite well in Key Stage 1 and then settle down in Key Stage 2 (7-11 years old) because the kind of learning is less rote and more analytical. She may get more out of her education as she gets older and the learning gets harder (for wont of a better word). * - budgets permitting kingturnip fucked around with this message at 13:00 on May 28, 2023 |

Jaeluni Asjil posted:. I did the same but it involved aceing the entrance exam to a private school (yes, wall) and going on a full scholarship (still wall but maybe less so?), don't think the local secondary comp would have taken me at (barely) ten years old without a lot of struggle. My tiny village primary school was quite salty about it as they didn't to drag the class average up with my SATS scores. Fun to tell people I left school at 16 (with A Levels) though.

Today my dad (retired police officer) announced that the videos showing that police van following those two boys on a bike have been doctored. When asked who has reported this, he explained that nobody has, it's just him, it's obvious they're fake to him. When asked how the police - who have rather more resources than he does, including probably a lot of experts on fake footage - haven't noticed this, he explained that the police are busy.

Guavanaut posted:Busy chasing kids to their deaths. Speaking as an over 63 year old with a lot of leg pain (muscle adhesions - not arthritis) & a creaky bad back, there is no way on this planet I could do that for more than a couple of hours a week. Bad enough last week when we had a 'clean up the office' day & my back was killing me for 2 days after that. My 20 years younger line manager doesn't get it. She wrote 'sore hip' on my annual review LOL. "She'll come to want" as my old granny used to say. On the other hand, I did my turn picking potatoes for days on end as a 13-14 year old when in the school summer holidays our parents would drive up to the nearest farm and dump us outside to pick potatoes all day with the other kids. 6x 50lb sacks a day. Probably why I've got a creaky back now. And we got paid 20p or 30p for the whole day. Riches beyond the dreams of avarice.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:As a couple of teachers have manifested ITT, I was wondering: I got bumped up a year in primary school. When it came time for secondary, they told me I was too young, so I had to do the last year of primary again, with the kids who'd been a year below me. It was torture. Pretty sure this was when I gave up entirely on school. (Though this was decades ago and I bet it's not allowed now.)

The Question IRL posted:No, not quite a Magnum. A Magnum has very thick chocolate coating that you have to bite through. And when you do, the chocolate often breaks in segments like glass. It's a very satisfying experience but it means that you can intend on biting the chocolate to get at the ice cream, and be stuck eating a larger than expected chocolate segment that when you are done with the ice cream underneath starts to melt. McDonalds in Asia do this. It's called a Chocotop and it's divine. Cover a soft serve cone in chocolate sauce that freezes into a thin shell. Hell Island McDonalds on the other hand can't even seem to manage a simple chocolate Sunday without sprinkling in some additional Cadbury branded shite, a plastic spoon and some brown liquid claiming to be chocolate sauce.

It's just chocolate and coconut oil, make it at home and bring it with you everywhere in a tiny squeeze bottle in a holster on your belt to top your own ice cream, a perfectly sensible solution.

I feel like I barely remember my time at school but I can still read and do long division so I suppose something must have stuck. I do recall one teacher liked to say that "these are the best days of your life" and while I was suspicious of that at the time it was only once I left school that I could appreciate what an idiot he was.

You're the loving Labour party Wes. It's not called that because of mpreg fantasies. I presume at some point he should, in that article, suggest a solution but given the party absolutely will not accept anything remotely anticapitalist I don't think I want to know what it is. The low wages and exploitation are a necessary component of the system, you can't have both free market liberalism and improving pay and conditions.

On the one hand, he's not wrong, it does need reforming. On the other hand I can trust them about as far as I can throw them, and considering my hands are now so hosed even the government admits I'm disabled, that's not very far.
