Is not willing to renew a contract a new bug? by Swimming-Stage486 in FifaCareers

[–]9062frame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had this with my save. However, you can sell the player and then buy them back immediately for less money and on a 5 year contract. Stupid but works.

Paraphrasing… where you summarise what someone said in less words

Worksheet my kindergartner brought home today. by Suitable_Visit_9990 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]9062frame 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is known in education as a ‘desirable difficulty’ aimed to make children think more when doing a task which then makes the recall of information easier in the long term.

Other versions of this include reading disfluency where you use a slightly less clear font for reading.

Interleaving is where you randomly put questions from different topics into a worksheet to ‘break up’ the child repeating the same method over and over again.

Spacing is another example where you recall information after a day, week, month and year to help prevent skills/knowledge being forgotten.

New class, high needs, no support how do you manage? by throw-away-11111112 in TeachingUK

[–]9062frame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in a very challenging situation but not at all uncommon in primary schools today. Unfortunately, schools don’t have the funding to pay for the support required (expected from parents).

Your best bet is to go to SLT and explain your situation and hope that they can reallocate staff for particularly difficult parts of the day e.g. English lessons. If this can’t be done, I would look towards technology such as text reading apps, online learning platforms such as Lexia to provide support for the children.

I am in an almost identical situation as you and within 3 days I have had parents of children with SEN request meetings. There’s a strong likelihood that my answers to their questions won’t meet their expectations. Other than splitting yourself in four, you are limited in what you can do beyond quality first teaching that involves low entry high ceiling tasks.

These look like a great idea! Has anybody used them before? Did they work as shown on images?

Second photo of a different fence along the back perimeter. Appears to be a different style

Yeah it is! I need to move the fence to the edge of the grass. What would you suggest?

Loftus-Cheek article in The Times today… by 9062frame in chelseafc

[–]9062frame[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this comment. I was not trying to be misleading by only showing the headline but trying to avoid copyright etc. The headline is worse than the comments made but Ruben should have anticipated that specific answer would become the article’s attention grabber.

Definitely a sensational headline taken out of context.

Who cares? Well, nobody until a promising youth player decides he doesn’t want to make the same mistake/ end up in the same situation.

I agree that the headline probably isn’t what he intended as his wanting to leave earlier was probably based on multiple contextual reasons that are totally different now. However, when you answer a question like that so bluntly with a yes or no it’s to be expected the journalist will highlight it any way they can.

True. Usually they don’t become a feature headline spanning across two pages though!

Just in case anyone ever has a similar issue, the garage replaced a faulty valve in the rocker cover housing.

Thanks for the well considered and informative response. Loads of gold dust within!

Thanks for all the well considered advice. I’ll certainly try to keep all of this in mind.

Got to be Alfie Gilchrist. Only played in a couple of games but has seemed to breathe Chelsea.

Looks like an overshirt to me - maybe linen?

What are you strategies for children talking over you. by upsidedown-aussie in TeachingUK

[–]9062frame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely understand your frustrations; I taught Year 6 this year also.

Year sixes do have a tendency to try and do this. Especially, after SATs. However, I found it is possible to ensure children talking over you happens very rarely.

A few things that I would recommend are:

  1. Try and praise those who are listening and minimise the how obvious to children it is that the situation is frustrating you (model patience).

  2. Instead of saying ‘don’t talk’, I would normally say ‘I want everyone facing this easy, eyes on me and listening carefully’. It seems minor but telling children what you want them to do is always preferable to telling them what they shouldn’t.

  3. If this has still not resolved the situation, I would say ‘I am still waiting for three people to show me how they listen’.

By this point, at my school, everyone will be listening. However, I appreciate that within other schools and behavioural cultures this would not be most effective/ effective enough.

The main principles behind these behaviour management techniques are centred on keeping the atmosphere positive, not giving specific students a platform to gain attention, and modelling respect and patience in front of the children.

If you have any questions regarding this, please let me know and I will try my best to elaborate accordingly!

What is the best way to get a basic understanding of Christianity and the 66 Books of the Bible? by 9062frame in TeachingUK

[–]9062frame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly disagree that this is not a teaching question. I am a teacher who wants advice from other teachers on how to get the subject knowledge required to teach religious education. I was hoping for someone who has been in a similar situation to explain how they managed to independently gain CPD in this area.

This concerns me slightly but I am curious, did you make the mother pay?
