I have always struggled in education, and finding jobs. Conversely I have always done well in jobs. From September all I need is a job I can build up a head of steam, preferably something involving python and learning.

Education restricts time for intrinsic learners to explore autonomously, they are much too focused on ensuring extrinsically motivated individuals have a clear learning path.
Self-regulated, life-long learners are not given time to explore, and it's this exploration that produces new insights.

Ideas for teaching computing to a student banned from computers?
Year 9, the rest of the class will spend the whole term on App Lab building a movie booking site.
First lesson is tomorrow and I have nothing.

Climbing centre injected an ear worm into my head, which I committed to downloading. Of course I forgot the song as soon as I left. Luckily 4 days later I woke up with the song playing in my head.

Just switched to Vodafone from Virgin. Very happy so far, faster, cheaper and lower latency, at least where I live. Hoping I don't get the end of contract price hikes / threats that drove me off Virgin.

We assumed Brexiters wanted to "take back control" to help the UK.
Turns out they just want the right to harm without consequence, to the extent that they defend anyone's right to do so.
