Also, rather wonderfully, it's not at all surprising when you look at it from the right perspective.

Of course, and underneath.

Yes!
There's one in Leicester university, which I've been on loads of times 😁

No, that's not what I mean at all.
A different intervention at the point of instruction, perhaps assistive technology, or TA input, which should be investigated and identified on their support plan.
Not something for the teacher to "figure out" on their own.

"do the same thing twice" is a bonkers intervention to have written down on paper.

3. The child genuinely can't attend to whole class instructions for some reason (and there could be many).
In which case why on earth are you making them do that in the first place, find a better way to do the initial instruction with them.

I can see three potential reasons:
1. The classroom environment isn't conducive to children listening to and hearing whole class instruction.
Solution: improve the classroom environment
2. The child isn't being expected to listen to whole class instruction.
Solution: raise your expectations

Two school syndrome.
People needing to justify their roles.
Not understanding that a document on its own changes nothing.

It's a quick way to find out how often the school updates the website.

Ugh, rubbish.
I'm gonna pretend I didn't read that and feign ignorance for the last half term.

AAM classic is better in every single way.
I assume at some point they'll shut it down and force us to move, I'm really hoping that's a long way off...

That'll be fine, but you should add padding to reduce friction damage, if you're feeling cheap you could use some old denim jeans 😁
If you're worried, hang from the beam yourself and see if it makes any noise or shifts (it won't)

I could probably have survived another round if I'd deliberately left a victim in the middle of the map as a sacrifice so I could escape.
Maybe that would have been thematically a more appropriate move...

Ice breakers are a fantastic way to kick off a youth group, where the stated aim of the time together is to get to know one another and develop social skills.
I have no idea why they've encroached on working life, where the stated aim is to productively hate each other's guts.

No no, it's definitely having a stupid icebreaker at the start.
Everyone loves those.

The first setup took me a long time, there's quite a lot going on, and I definitely mucked up some of the rules in my first play through.
Second time was much quicker though, from setup to packed away afterwards in about an hour.

I picked up into the void (alien) because it was the one in the shop that I liked the look of the most.
I'm not a massive horror fan usually, but I love the alien films!

You need the base box and one feature film, so it cost me £34 to get started, which isn't terrible.
It's been really fun, and even with just the one film the replayability is great, but you can mix and match the locations and killers, so two films give you four game combinations.

I saw the wordplay almost immediately, but it took me ages to work out how the definition fit!

I tried to get it to age the nirvana baby, but it complained about the nudity.

Hey ChatGPT, which articles generated the most engagement in the past 6 months?
Great, could you write me another one of those, but make it even more extreme please.

You mean I can't claim my buy to let mortgage payments as a tax deductable business expense?
I'm shocked! 🙄

The underlying cause is that reliable judgements on the effectiveness of schools is an unreasonably difficult task to achieve with any national framework.
If you want reliability, then you need to judge something that's actually measurable.

I think that's how they usually are.
If you look at it in the right way it's obvious, and then straightforward is a fair description.
I wasn't complaining 😁

For you maybe, I had to take a hint before I spotted it.

The current government has a massive PR problem, in that they're completely rubbish at it.
They don't actually have a policy problem, they just don't have any control over the public narrative of what they're doing.
