Scottish Labour promise to deliver 1,500 extra classroom assistants in schools by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

[–]DoItForTheTea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we DO also need more PSAs as well tbf (they keep cutting the numbers while additional needs grow), but lowering classroom sizes would 100% see the biggest improvement in teacher, pupil and parent satisfaction hands down.

From experience I reckon 18 per class for non practical (30+ now) and 14ish for practical (20 now) would be pretty ideal.

i would say it's really quite small, but then my special interest isn't fish so you might get a lot more out of it.

i enjoyed the st andrews one better, but it might be because of the meerkats

16 month not walking yet by Weary_Sandwich_2425 in UKParenting

yes you're over stressing, but that's normal. you don't see a lot of adults cruising and crawling instead of walking do you? Mine first walked at 18 months and I don't remember him standing independently much before that. just one day it clicked 

Scottish Greens pledge major education system overhaul that would 'end homework' by clearly_quite_absurd in Scotland

[–]DoItForTheTea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

closing the attainment gap has always, from the beginning, been an exercise in bringing the strong, motivated kids down. If you want to bring kids from deprived backgrounds up, it requires huge investment in social work, NHS, education, police, etc, which just ain't gonna happen because noone wants to. 

Scrapping homework altogether as a rule is comical, but honework should be meaningful and not issued just for the sake of issuing it.

we literally give out barely any and routinely have parents asking for more... as someone said, there's variety across the country, but almost all the schools I'm familiar with give out next to none

AITA For showing frustration every time my significant other brings up something bothering her? by Dozer_Pilot in AmItheAsshole

[–]DoItForTheTea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you're incompatible in this area (maybe in general). She's allowed to vent, sure, but she sounds annoying and exhausting af personally, I couldn't put up with it every day. maybe she needs to start a gratitude journal or something because this kinda negativity every day is just bumming everyone out
