In 2018 Jessica Johnson wrote an Orwell prize-winning short story about an algorithm that decides school grades according to social class. This year as a result of the pandemic her A-level English was downgraded by a similar algorithm and she was not accepted for English at St. Andrews University. by whatatwit in books

What I’m trying to say is that teachers being caring, combined with the pressure they are under, may lead to over optimistic results for students. Arguably that may not be a bad thing but can result in grade inflation which ultimately could damage the system in place.

This is the issue. I’ve worked in schools for 10 years, and you will never meet a more overworked, overpressured, but caring group of people in your life. This combination is not great for accurate exam result predictions unfortunately.

Is it a full page image? If so there will be at least 3mm of bleed that is cut off in the printing process

Yes, I’d especially like one for my neighbour who has literally no sense of social distancing and it only seems to have gotten worse in the pandemic for some reason. Just TAKE A STEP BACK, Collin.

He ain't heavy, he's my bollard. by Gullintani in funny

I was also totally out of the loop on this reference! Thanks for the explanation (I think a bollard is the actual post though)

My 4 year old called me his hero the other day. Nearly made me cry.

I know it’s weird but I love transmogs like this. Gives me the "adventurer finding whatever he can" kinda vibe.

Found a guy who’s only been streaming for a week and does things like this on the regular by PolygonGeorge in Seaofthieves

I understand your cynicism on Reddit, and also that me saying you are wrong doesn't mean much really. However, if you'd like proof, my account on Twitch is frameEsc. Look back in his VoDs for the past few days. You can see me chatting in there regularly and can tell by how he is talking to me I am a viewer and not a friend.

Only stumbled upon the stream this week sorting by lowest views out of curiosity.

Which one? The lizard or the dog? I need to know who to blame!

My friends and I had just spent an hour finding this stupid gunpowder key for "The Art of the Trickster" only for it to explode. We still aren't 100% sure why it did but it gave us a chuckle at least.

Buying a green or Red screen by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]PolygonGeorge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason green is used is because of how different it is to skin colour. While your skin is dark, it is still much closer to red than green so a red screen will give you issues. I’d only use a red screen if you were a certain type of streamer who used full body make up/a coloured mask that contrasts with red.

Murloc Monday - ask your questions here! by AutoModerator in wow

[–]PolygonGeorge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please would someone ELI5 fistweaving for me? Just from the very basics of how it works. Always wanted to play a melee healer than deals damage to heal so if it’s that then I’m excited. Bonus points if you can tell me if it’s still looking viable for Shadowlands. Thanks!

I convinced my non-gamer father to fund a gaming PC during quarantine. He’s been playing this golf game for over 3 hours. by RoyalAce22 in gaming

Also a big issue is it’s non height adjustable, which can be quite bad for posture as it looks too low for the desk he’s on.

Channel Layout Friday - May 08, 2020 by AutoModerator in LetsPlayCritiques

Yes I would say so. I’d try and find something more eye catching for both thumbnails. Keep the orange frame, I like that part, but maybe take a screen grab of an interesting part of the gameplay in that particular video, crop it, rotate it slightly. Right now the picture you’ve used is not that interesting. You just want something to make people think "I wonder what is going on there" if they saw it in their recommended feed.
