@gamblingondev I thought this was a terrific piece and would love to discuss.

@jordnb Via twins! - Also, very much still a work in progress.

@DaveEvansPhD IE: The devil makes work for idle thumbs. Something I learned (the hard way) early on as a teacher.

This is yet another reason why supporting teachers with planning for good lessons - so as to raise the floor for teaching - is such a no-brainer.

@benlpiper @gamblingondev Great article! +1 or PRIMR as "OTPC".

I reckon "One Workbook Per Child" (termly with a report card) is even more manifesto-ready.

& has sticking power because:
- Workbooks go home -> Salience with parents
- Consumable -> Justifies a budget line
- Expected -> new normal
