On the First Day of Transition to Year R Christmas, my Early Years Advisor said to me…
🎄Ask yourself if a commercial whiteboard programme making children sit and subitise at a level they already understood 18 months ago is necessary.

The trend towards seeing learning as delivering content into memory by using direct instruction has set the path to this enthusiastic adoption imo. Unfortunately people are making themselves increasingly superfluous by doing this as per @risu.bsky.social's posts below.
Talking to teachers who enthusiastically use ai reminds me of talking to people who join Facebook pyramid schemes like selling weight loss juice or make up. “It is so amazing I use it every day, I’m an entrepreneur”…

only in the small print of this article do they make clear that the pensioners paying an extra £2,500 of tax would have to have
“earnings over £125,140”
I know many pensioners are asset rich but how many have income at that level?

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.
Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.
This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

That’s why Russia was kicked out. It’s why Israel has to be kicked out.

Suspect lots of people here don't realise how big a deal Kirk was on TikTok in the UK. Twins have seen loads of videos about him (mostly him being "owned" by progressive students). Lots of chat about it already on their WhatsApps. Much more so than anything in UK politics.
