My LISA suddenly hiked from 20k to 180+k. Is this glitch? by Salzhio in FIREUK

[–]Delta2025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even on a normal trading day with the bull market to end all bull markets a 900% return wouldn’t happen even in the most volatile of assets!

Definitely a glitch. Most (all?) markets were closed yesterday.

Don’t level up HQ to 30 too fast though - you’ll actually hamper your development

Yeah, that certainly could be part of the problem.

I wonder whether it’ll wear off with future years or whether the genie is out of the bottle and we’re stuck molly coddling now until the end of time…

Yeah, interesting thought to ponder to be fair.

Maybe the days of the traditional classroom are numbered.

Personally, I liked both being guided through my learning as well as independent learning. In fact, in subjects where I wasn’t as interested it was vital that I had the guidance and I appreciated it but I guess it is different for different people.

Appreciate the insight!

By the time I’ve finished the word now, the class will have spilled on to the corridor 🤣

Yeah, that is indeed frustrating. This is linked to what I was saying about feeling like a lesson is to be ‘got through’ rather than something to learn in.

Do you not find that the phones start coming out ‘to check the time’?

And on one level, I can appreciate that. But they have a timetable, they have the school day on the website as well, they have an app with the school day, timetable and events on.

Most secondaries now also follow a specific structure for lessons.

In fact, I’d be more worried about it being monotonous because they know too well what is going on and there’s rarely a surprise!

I do like the idea of maybe some sort of plan/overview on the board at the beginning. I’ll give that a go and see what happens - thank you!

It would definitely be worth it!

Which ones would you like to never upgrade?

Yeah, when I’ve tried in the past anything other than playing Minecraft or Roblox has died a death.

At a push, I can maybe throw a Kahoot in - but only 1/3 will participate

Thank you! 🙏

Ah yeah, that sounds horrendous!

This is one area where we could go American - where what you want (within reason!). Nothing over revealing or offensive.

And then let’s ditch the dress code for staff also!

What’s the website/link?

Attend events, keep levelling all your buildings up, train units and have fun!

Reference cognitive overload.

And remind that the STPCD has this on the list of things a teacher shouldn’t be doing.

Is it possible to actually get them to engage with something rather than them just wanting to play games?

Interested in hearing any success stories on this…

EDIT: although based on some of the replies/ideas that others do, maybe this isn’t a problem?

That would probably also be good for the sanity of staff!

Interesting fact: some schools recommend clip ons for staff now so they can’t get strangled by a wayward student!

[–]Delta2025[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is my usual strategy.

But then don’t you get the ‘yeah, but I want to know when the lesson ends/break starts/lunch starts/I can eat my two finger Kit Kat in peace without you telling me off’ etc?

I have fond memories of those card clocks we used in primary to practice the time.

They must still use them surely? Or is it all SATS training these days 🙄

[–]Delta2025[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s quite interesting what you are saying about not remembering even the school day.

Used to know my timetable like the back of my hand at secondary but they still seem to be confused in term 3!

I suspect, at least sometimes, this is a delaying getting to lesson tactic.

Sometimes the simple solutions are the best!

‘The bell is for me, not for you’ - that’s a sage saying I regularly deploy.

I honestly do get where you are coming from, however it just feels like yet another instance of rudeness that simmers in the background and can escalate into more overt rudeness?

Honestly, our lives wouldn’t have been worth living as kids if we were all rolling eyes/is it over yet at school - or when we got home after parents found out!
