To hedge my bets, I have decided to remain extremely polite to AI when dealing with it directly…

Incredibly sad - she did loads for education and we even used her as the movement bell in my first school.

If that alarm goes off near the elderly, there’s a higher risk of heart failure than widespread wildfire. 🔥⚡️

This resonates with me. My wife and I adopted our two when they were 5 and 8. We were both teachers, we prioritised education but singularly failed to make school a point of success. One lad picked up all sorts of softer skills and has three or four casual jobs that he balances and bounces between.

I am bizarrely committed to always travelling home with my holiday laundry done. 3 missing ATMs, one closed Lavandara later - I am sitting whilst the wash cycle runs. Small victories.

This feels like a fairly niche instruction or have I been doing it wrong?

Av has done 6 weeks of duo lingo before our trip to Porto. She just confidently ordered an iced americano for her and a bottle of water for me. What came out was two hot black americanos and a jug of hot milk.

Schools are different. Buildings, community, transport. While schools can never please everyone chances are your kid's has made the best decisions about opening and heat adaptations based on its individual circumstance. Assume competence. Leaders and teachers are at least as hot and grumpy as you.

This is a failure of journalism, on a really basic level, but it is also a failure of political leadership. It was going to fall simply in the basis of what the previous govt did. But Starmer somehow conspired to actively spread the impression it was rising.

Apart from the actual stats, the most reliable indicator that immigration is plunging (to our obvious economic detriment) is Nigel Farage turning his dishonest attentions to the mythical millions of benefits claimants.

Orban has conceded. Majority too big for him to try any nonsense. Tisza is going to have plenty of challenges in sorting out Orban's mess but this is a good day.

You don’t see many politicians making decisions that outlast an election cycle. Spoke to youngest lad we adopted in 2010 (he was 5 then) and he has just received his Child Trust Fund. As a Looked After Child when he was born, he was granted £250 plus an additonal £250. It has just paid out £1995

End of my first half term at a new school. I usually land in schools that are in some level of crisis. This time the school I have joined is settled, already improving and well staffed. First time in ages that I haven’t been on the point of falling over at the end of a half term. Loving it.

SENCO and AP for T&L are basically the same job. Or should be at least.
