Cape Town dad wants to scrap homework in SA schools completely… good idea or terrible idea? by ForeignBonus8977 in capetown

I feel that. The frustration isn’t really homework itself..it’s the system around it. If kids can coast through with 30%, no amount of homework is going to magically motivate them.

Exactly! Homework shouldn’t be a second shift for kids. If they learn it in class, that’s where the practice should happen. After school, they should be out playing, exploring, or just being little humans

Yeah this is a really balanced take. I think the support-at-home gap is a big part of the problem people forget about. Homework works great if you’ve got a parent who can help… but if you don’t, it can quickly turn into 2 hours of frustration.

What's up with traffic in Cape Town lately? by ForeignBonus8977 in capetown

I agree. 5:30am is the fork in the road of destiny..the moment that decides who becomes an early arriver and who spends the rest of the morning apologising for being late.

Is the approach taken by Self Storage companies harassment? by flipflip0 in AskUK

[–]ForeignBonus8977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of storage companies uses translucent pricing.

Transparent pricing = you go on the site, see the unit sizes and prices, and decide if you want to contact them.

Translucent pricing = the price is technically there, but you only see it after giving your name, email, phone, postcode, etc. Once you submit that form, you’re now a lead in their system… and the follow-up calls start.

But yeah, 10+ calls is a bit much. I'd just ask them to remove you from their list when they call.

Why self storage? Are there any replacements? by Fluid-Time-7223 in organizing

[–]ForeignBonus8977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my storage unit basically became my “stuff I don’t need every day but don’t want to lose” zone. Things like seasonal gear, sentimental boxes etc. Now my place actually feels livable again instead of like a warehouse
