@martianmushroom@DrJessTaylor I think it can be a hard lesson - that fitting in can be more injurious than staying true to oneself - then you'd need good team back-up or else any resulting isolation can also be very harmful for humans. Maybe things are changing, but I think there will always be a tension...
@HMRCcustomers No progress on why tax for a termination payment does not appear on my PAYE online although income tax (NI not applicable) and student loan(possibly) are deductions I knew applied. I did not think just anyone could deduct tax, sit on it, and give no explanation.
@MsJoBillington @Ka81 I like this Jo. It's easy when idealistic to get caught up in movements for change. But there can be future costs to ourselves and our lives we are not aware of. I wish every activist well and I am so glad we have the young people of today - it does make me proud and hopeful.
@QEMrsWright @mrslavs I've never heard of a - ban the Miss/Mrs distinction campaign - I would support one - and just have Ms. It would be an interesting debate that might raise consciousness of everyone - perhaps.
@teachwellall "The offence of encouraging or assisting suicide carries a maximum penalty of 14 years' imprisonment. This reflects the seriousness of the offence."
Corporate manslaughter - not so serious then?

@juliehes Four suicides.
The offence of encouraging or assisting suicide carries a maximum penalty of 14 years' imprisonment. This reflects the seriousness of the offence.
Corporate manslaughter - not as serious?
@asdfriendly @familyeducating @teamsquarepeg My experience is when professional advice is what they want to hear, then that's all fine. When it is insufficient to agree with what they have already concluded - they promote themselves as doctor, psychiatrist, judge or jury as knowing better.
@Ka81 Agree. Having to prove a problem-free background will be impossible for a huge part of the population now we are encouraged even bombarded to fess-up our issues and accept our labels. In the quarters with power, nothing has changed "weakness" an objective target means humans.
@branwenjeffreys Personally I think there's something much more fundamental going on because how can someone(individuals in Ofsted and similar bodies) accept that many of their underlying principles and much underlying philosophy can injure humans - a bit of tweaking won't help.
@ConversationUK@Karen__Hanrahan Very thought provoking. My mother (me to a lesser extent) suffered Catholicism at the hands of nuns - chanting at primary - "...go to hell for all eternity" and she didn't want that! But I now see monstering nuns is a gross simplification.
@Shrink_at_Large When Amy appeared covered in bruises and was assaulted on camera, why were the police not immediately called? She was so brave to speak up.
From a confused student
"What is area because any units are possible?".
Once I agree-use circles! Place circles (diameter 1 unit - can shrink) inside the square grid. Same count! Shift circles grid so I have 1/2 circles on boundaries and vertices - same count! Always works
Is there anything intuitive rather than formal for Pick's Theorem (for year 8 ). I think of fitting "pies" inside the shape - whole pies on inside grid points, "pieces" at vertices fitting to make extra pie(s) and half pies on sides through grid points. Works fine but why?
