@MrBoothY6 Niche or not, you are 100% correct!

Absolutely stuck trying to book a washing machine repair with @DandG_Support . All online methods depend on having the model number - which is inside the door and the door won’t open! Phone lines ‘cannot be answered today’. No response from DM here! Help please D&G!

@parkrunUK Cold, slippy, wonderful run @frogmaryparkrun

[Freddiethegreat @RS3rah]

@Fi_Contextual @Sue_Cowley Strangely enough, that was exactly my thought!

[Freddiethegreat @RS3rah]

@parkrunUK Yes - crikey that was windy!

@SchoolAvanti Lovely. ❤️ @DickinsonCaro

@DudeAdhd I was really upset about the exclusion, which I believed to be not justified and had had to take emergency parental leave from my own school. I WAS civil when I went to the desk to speak to the receptionist (who was also the attendance officer) about the text, but it was close!

[Freddiethegreat @RS3rah]

@DudeAdhd I once had a text saying my son was not in school & I had a responsibility to call in & notify them why. I was sitting in school reception waiting for them to provide the (mandatory) work they hadn’t provided for him when excluded.#1

@AdrianBethune A challenging statistic for those of us who love - & fear for - those who are, or were, struggling at 16.

@OliverConway Oh my God, yes!

"turn and talks" should be frequent, powerful, and short. They're often none of these things. How (and why) to get them working well:

@Misterbodd If one has had a less than ideal summer, this is even more vital!

[Freddiethegreat @RS3rah]

@RichardWh84 @PepsMccrea So is it about natural ability? High ability = quick processing = success = motivation & ability+motivation+speedy processing = lowered impact of retrieval? But then- what constitutes ‘natural ability’ & where does it come from?

[Freddiethegreat @RS3rah]

@RichardWh84 @PepsMccrea I agree, that was the bit I noted. I inwardly renamed it the F-effect. F was (is) an able mathematician in my class last year who was patently uninterested in most retrieval - or at least could do it so fast he was ready to move on when most were still processing the q.

@HappyHead74 Makes absolutely no sense? I mean I get context is everything & I’m not interested enough in Trump to check context but I find it hard to see how that sentence could ever ever make sense!

[Freddiethegreat @RS3rah]

@JasonCocker7 Totally. I can’t relax this week if I know it will be chaos next week. And I, personally, would rather be in a sorted room!
