TwoShanks posted:Trust wide resources are shite though. It's a deliberate attempt to de-skill the teaching profession by providing unified resources so anyone can "teach" any subject, another "performance management" stick to hold over staff by checking if you deliver the trust resources, and a terrible way to compensate for the chronic underfunding and lack of prep time for teachers. What a way to twist it, I don't deny the later half of what you say, I've regularly witnessed my partner work 13 hour days and weekends when she was teaching, she was an utter shell at the end of each term. Even with the results she has had as a teacher being outstanding I'm guessing you saw the trust lead bit and thought Ill. At no point has her alignment of curriculum/exam boards been used as a way of getting "anyone to teach" or "performance management" of what she describes as a pile of contradictory poo poo brought in by Gove & Co, her trust wide resources which she's produced have been used to bolster teacher understanding of her subject along with a marked improvement of the kids understanding of the subject in question. How can you guide teachers and departments across multiple schools if they all have their own systems and some aren't even teaching the curriculum? I've no doubt that some trust management may use a uniformed lesson to judge but trust resources aren't some sort of way in which you are oppressing teachers or diminishing their worth.

I literally know nothing about you. I have been a teacher for about 20 years at this point so I'm commenting on my own experience. No offence intended to you or your partner, and I had no thoughts about the "trust lead bit". It sounds like your partner was/is a very good teacher. However the entire academy system is an abomination. quote:her trust wide resources which she's produced have been used to bolster teacher understanding of her subject This is what I meant about getting anyone to "teach" a subject, people who don't know the subject properly learning from the same resources as the students. This is caused by the difficulty recruiting and retaining staff because terms and conditions are terrible, as you noted with your partner. quote:How can you guide teachers and departments across multiple schools if they all have their own systems and some aren't even teaching the curriculum? If they aren't teaching the curriculum there's a pretty big issue. Depending on the subject, physics in my case, the curriculum content is almost the same across all exam boards. For guiding teachers you need to provide them with mentoring, quality ongoing CPD and peer review processes, and most importantly give them time to plan things properly and try new ideas. Working from someone else's resources all the time makes things quicker and means you are at least "covering the material" but ultimately does not help a teacher develop into a skilled professional. quote:I've no doubt that some trust management may use a uniformed lesson to judge but trust resources aren't some sort of way in which you are oppressing teachers or diminishing their worth. They are literally used this way in multiple schools I'm personally aware of, though fortunately have never worked in - "learning walks" are used to check that staff are delivering the trust approved PowerPoint with threats of disciplinary action if they don't. They are also used so you can get, for example, a biology specialist to teach physics without actually understanding it. They certainly can be a way of opposing teachers and diminishing their worth.

I don't think that's the case at all. Election day is commonly referred to as polling day. You go to your local polling station on the day of the election and cast your vote in a polling booth. The terminology is and always has been interchangable.

My physics teacher was a biologist, but the greater impediment to his ability to teach physics was the fact that he was also a young earth creationist who didn't believe most of the curriculum.

It's called "polling day" technically, and "polling station" and "your poll card" but no generally the act itself is voting and the thing you're having is an election.

see also the "poll tax", while an unofficial name it was generally not taken to mean a tax for talking to YouGovfuctifino posted:A lot can happen between now and January 28th 2025, and it probably will too this is a big story to make out of "guy says as little as possible about the date of the election" tbh. still amusing to imagine a january election. or indeed, a january poll

They used poll to make the headline fit, it seems such an odd turn of phrase to use it in the singular in that way.

fuctifino posted:Can't they just import all the databases into a single large spreadsheet? These huge gigantic database migration projects are always theoretically possible, the problem is that the complexity scales uncontrollably with the format of the input. In the convert to .xlsx case, which number of columns would you need to cover every different database entry variable, and how would you combine and merge them without losing control of which information is lost? If the databases have different search/append functions, how do you reproduce that functionality if the entries only contain the information needed for the database's particular algorithms to work? Consider the ur-type of this problem, converting a physical printed archive into a digital format. You could scan them into pdf, only, a pdf is a very different data format from a physical binder - you will need to replicate the archive's sorting by shelving, binding format, indexing etc, to reproduce the functionality needed for the archive to function as expected. Since you can't flip through the pages of a pdf you'll need - at the least - an index with hyperlinks, and figure out a naming convention which doesn't create the risk of having to open dozens of pdfs and browsing them page by page, to find a single important document. Now, consider different page layouts, paper formats, scanning combinations of double and single printed pages (do you accept up-to-half the pages being blank, or up-to-half being lost in scanning?), scanner jams, constrictions on usable pdf page sizes... and if and when you're finished doing all this, try doing it with another, very different archive, and merging the outputs in a predictable way. It's just going to lead to despair. I tried doing a very ad hoc variant of this at work during the pandemic. My solution was to scan everything double-sided into pdf, using xpdf-tools to convert the output to single page pdf, then using a script to prune empty pages and recombine them into a pdf again, then opening the document in a web browser with css to create an editable toc, enable flipping pages and changing page order, and then printing it to pdf again... it didn't end up working particularly well, but I got a lot of respect for these kinds of issues, and a lot of scepticism for simple and quick solutions

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:These huge gigantic database migration projects are always theoretically possible, the problem is that the complexity scales uncontrollably with the format of the input. Yeah, my company's been running a project to migrate our data and processes onto a new system. It covers the financial records and dealings of about 15,000 customers: it's been unbelievably complex, unforseen problems have cropped up constantly, each of which have required careful thought followed by a solution being designed, tested and integrated, the budget's spiralled through the roof and the project is currently 18 months behind the original completion date, with a fresh delay looking extremely likely. Getting the whole of the NHS onto a single integrated system is technically possible, in the same way that it's technically possible to count every grain of sand around the UK coastline (assuming infinite amounts of money, manpower and equipment); neither of those things are going to happen though.

Shout out to all the teachers and ex-teachers itt. I was an ESL teacher for 5/6 years and it was easily the most difficult, draining jobs I've ever done. Had a few people on Facebook comment when I started saying how lucky I was to have X amount of hours teaching, thinking that classroom time was just in and out, no prep, no marking, to which I still say the same thing: I dare you to teach.
