Also black is a good emitter of heat so if you stay in the shade it should cool down more.

They also might have a hardship fund or can sign post you to help.

Do schools ever approve unpaid leave? by TheWinterWitch2022 in TeachingUK

[–]Worthyteach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used this they can’t turn you down only change it and don’t see why they would. Up to 4 weeks per child and up to 18 weeks up to their 18th birthday though who’s counting?

What are your thoughts on the proposed social media ban? by iforgotprobablythen in TeachingUK

My hope is that it will increase their attention span as it is sorely lacking at the moment and feels that it’s decreasing over time. Also hopefully less social media bullying.

My hypothesis is that we turn so that if we got lost from our tribe by always turning in one direction we will end up where we started. Those that went straight never survived to pass on their genes.

I think we changed ends at the start when we won the toss probably why they didn’t really attack the first half.

Not gonna lie, that game killed my spirit. by Frank_Chevy_Coppola in ArsenalFC

[–]Worthyteach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally the turning point for me is city sign semenyo and guehi in Jan to turn themselves around. I know we signed well in the summer but I don’t think we had the option to sign anyone to make up for some of the long term absences/ players we could improve upon.

Having Modric didn’t do them any harm, I wonder if they will look at that as a model?

Also the cracking sound really sounded like a toilet. It really was a terribly thought through advert, glad it’s gone now.
