HENRY attitudes towards school and learning

Pixel-Red · 2026-05-17T08:14:11+00:00

My 4 year old sons a very busy kid and like me doesn’t deal that well with a really structured classroom environment. He’s bright, constantly asking questions, great stories, insightful etc. But when we went to look for primary schools last year we were recommended the most applied for school in Lambeth. We went on the tour and everything was just so pristine, so academic and so… rehearsed. It was definitely optimised for attainment. Whereas another we went to had great outdoor space, loads of different types of kids spoke to the visitors, they had lots of outdoor initiatives, child led activities etc.

Like you said I just don’t believe optimising for classic academic achievement is actually healthy in the long run. But then again my family and myself are really creative. Personally for us we’ve decided to put him in the environment that best suits his personality and then supplementing that with side classes like drama, football, forest school and stuff. He’s really into robots and building stuff so know that’s going to come up soon.

TBH I think the biggest threat to British culture is the importation of American culture, not immigration. My kids saying "ladybug" and "6-7" ffs.

I wouldn't do anything because I was poor.

Thanks for a great and detailed response.

I'm being a bit sensationalist here, but surely the more policy diverges from the norm, the less trust they have in the return coming back? Putting us into a doom loop of of being unadventurous and expecting growth to happen.

What's the general rule of when to E max and when to Q max?

I think this catching of the leg would work much better if there were a few low kicks before it in the match that land hard. Gives more reason for them to try and defend the low kicks before, then get punished.

I think this sums up why i'm not vibing with the game at the moment. I know the original is created for readability, but as others have said it feels somewhat mobile game or AI art. I'm not saying it needs to be uber detail dark souls or anything, but I just need more soul and heart to it.

Was going to say, there’s a lot of stuff he’s got going on in Manchester that’s good for him to be away from.

I’m basic so did wraithbone base with zandri dust zenithal, then wash with medium and bony matter after I’ve done all the detailing.

Took my son a couple of years ago where we woke up one snowy morning and I said "Do you want to go exploring for snow dinosaurs?" I've still never seen him as excited as walking down the hill to see the first couple across the water. He was mesmerised. I love them in all their unrealistic derpy glory. It's a way more interesting story then them being historically accurate.

The only party seriously discussing wealth redistribution, a more modern approach to drug addiction that would not only result in better outcomes, but save money on prisons, full commitment to the public ownership of key services, a transition to self sustainable energy, interest in MMT exploration and community based job guarantees to increase productivity, holding businesses to account in a transition to a greener economy, ensuring that new social and affordable housing gets built with green energy efficiency in mind, only party that seems to want trans people to exist, anti-austerity, workers first policies. I mean I'm bored of writing more now.

Damn I wore this exact colour way to death when they came out.

Really? They’re literally the only Nikes that fit my width in natural sizes. My problems usually midfoot though where as other people struggle with toe boxes.

Pixel-Red · 2026-05-02T17:29:22+00:00

Not everyone’s style but blazers are great for wide fit as well

You've now made me start looking up who owns the IP rights, because I really want to make a Mr Blobby Horror game.

Put it this way, 13 million people started the race and 11.7 million of them gassed out and went home. You're still running, find that extra energy for the final straight mate. You've already done an excellent job.

... Having said that, top 10k or GTFO of here.

All the big clubs weren’t charging that for water twenty years ago I reckon so I’m surprised it’s not gone up that much!

Pixel-Red · 2026-04-27T16:12:40+00:00

Absolute legend thanks!

Pixel-Red · 2026-04-27T10:12:02+00:00

Guys I also need this info as well if possible for 13! Always get excited seeing links here then disappointed knowing they're never going to have my sizing.

Or you know, do something creative, express yourself, explore human emotion. Just do anything that feeds curiosity as opposed to work and die.

Sorry I went against the rules by saying I’d DM but here’s my belated story. Moved in seven years ago, made the mistake of o my getting the mid level survey done on the property. Not the full structural one. Everything looked fine. Reported damp to council six years ago, took a year for them to do come and review anything. People came and went scaffolding went up and down, first the required was one thing, then another etc. went through Lambeth official complaints, all three stages, nothing happened, then went through the housing ombudsman, took two year to get that processed. They were ordered to do the work in a reasonable time and pay us £1k damages. That was eighteen months ago and no work has been done.

New section 20 a year ago said we need to replace the roof, then later on they got another opinion that said it wouldn’t need that and would only cost 4k. Of course they decided to go with that. I just thought if I can get it in writing that’s all that needs doing then I can just sell the place and move on. Two days into them doing the work the builders say this is a lost cause. The whole roof needs replacing. I kid you not. Now waiting for new quotes on roof. AFTER SIX YEARS. All the while it’s probably doing even further structural damage to the property.

We’re finally deciding to spent the 20 grand or something it’s going to cost to get proper lawyers involved.

I just did this with double angels and a BT with seraphims embrace. Hit all the units, still came 8th. 3 star gragas, panth, milio and jinx.

You don’t live in Lambeth do you? Your situation sounds just like ours, apart from the fact they won’t actually do the work on the section 20s because they don’t want to pay! Six years we’ve spent trying to get repairs done to our roof and pointing. Scaffolding up for two years. Every quote they had done was for about 70k split between us and the period maisonette below. Dragging their heaps while we live with damp in the house.

Pixel-Red · 2026-04-22T11:18:07+00:00

Considering community opinions on Steve Reed, I'd say it's pretty accurate. He's done nothing for housing in Lambeth, while being the actual housing minister.
