Anyone else had just a piss poor day? Family pretty much forgot 8/8 Father’s Day. I didn’t want anything but maybe just a little acknowledgement would have been nice, the only person to wish me happy Father’s Day was one of my students yesterday.

They must be on the 28th and 29th floors then, sure as hell isn’t me.

That didn’t take too long couple of weeks of looking on 591 and we are now moving next month. Still in the wonderful district of Xindian but right on the border of Taipei city. So close I could spit that far.

How the fuck he can give that goal is crazy, control the ball with your arm, if you don’t score it’s okay. Might as well catch it and throw it too another player. Referee is a cunt. #nffc

Yeah, it’s weird being a foreigner here. If I go to the bank I always take 3 forms of ID because it’s just the strangest system, and they will ask for at the very least 2 every time.

My boss just called me into the office “did you go to the bank this morning?” “What?” “They called me, to confirm you worked here” Are you fucking kidding me, I put money in my account, which sent shockwaves through the fucking banking system in Taiwan, and my ATM card wouldn’t work. Crazy.

33 mins 3 forms, 2 IDs and questions on why I deposited money into my own account on Friday. Just to get my ATM card reset so I could take money out. FFS Taiwan banking is a joke. Cashier was genuinely surprised I wanted to use my bank account at their bank. A bank account I’ve had for 4 years.

No the whiskey is for the evening, the breakfast beer is for 9:30am although tomorrow I’ll be at the bank, I’ll probably need a very large beer or whiskey after that.

An escalation of political warfare by the PRC ambassador Xiao Qian in the national Australian media. Disinformation, misrepresentation, and a new explicit demand to accept in silence Taiwan's annexation and its catastrophic consequences.

I’d take Brennan, better finisher than Elanga, and Hutchinson will be better than Elanga in the long run. Brennan can cover The centre forward position if needed.

I posted this in response to my son and elementary school students I see on a daily basis being given 10-13 pages of homework on a daily basis, teachers explaining for 10-15 minutes on how to do the work and then assigning as homework, so the class can do other projects like doing presentations that

Bottom Line Homework is not academically beneficial for elementary students. But: Short, low-stress, meaningful tasks -especially reading - can offer small benefits.
000
Kentscheroo @kentscheroo.bsky.social · 04/12/2025
Non-Academic Benefits When homework is light and meaningful, it may help: Build responsibility and routine Encourage good study habits Allow brief practice of reading or math skills But only if: • It is short, • Not stressful, • Well-explained, • And not busywork.

Kentscheroo @kentscheroo.bsky.social · 04/12/2025
Equity Issues Homework can increase the gap between: Students who have supportive home environments, quiet space, and resources, and Students who don’t. This makes homework unfairly beneficial to some and harmful to others.

Kentscheroo @kentscheroo.bsky.social · 04/12/2025
Stress and Well-Being Research consistently reports: Homework can cause stress, tears, arguments at home, and sleep issues in younger children. Parents often end up doing too much of the work, which makes homework less useful educationally.

• Benefits start to appear in middle school and increase in high school. Why so little effect for young children? Their attention spans are shorter. They learn more effectively through direct instruction and hands-on activities. Many tasks are simply repetition that doesn’t deepen understanding.

Kentscheroo @kentscheroo.bsky.social · 04/12/2025
What the Research Says 1. Academic Achievement Little to no improvement in test scores or grades Large meta-analyses by Harris Cooper (a leading homework researcher) show: Homework has almost zero effect on academic performance in elementary school.

Kentscheroo @kentscheroo.bsky.social · 04/12/2025
But it can offer some non-academic benefits if assigned properly. Below is a clear, research-based summary.

Kentscheroo @kentscheroo.bsky.social · 04/12/2025
This is a long one- Research on homework for elementary school students (roughly ages 6–11) shows mixed results, and most experts agree on one key point: Homework has very limited academic benefits in elementary school.

Instilled some uk knowledge to my wife this morning, if someone rings the doorbell on a Sunday morning, do not under any circumstances answer it. “Check from balcony it’ll be God botherers.” “We don’t get them in Taiwan” “Check from the balcony” “Oh yeah, we do have them”
