Solidarity with all of my anti-lollipop comrades out there. The idea that our questions should be driven by chance rather than intention is extremely odd. If our Qs are so ineffective that they would be improved by randomisation, then the solution is to improve the questioning, not give in to our ineffectiveness.

[Danny Hoyle @danny_hoyle]

@TomMC93 @MrMcEnaney Is there a conflation of randomness with fairness? The other one I don’t get is raffle tickets and prizes for positive behaviour. Children don’t understand the probability well enough in primary school and i’m not sure raffles are the kind of fairness’ - not meritocratic.

[Danny Hoyle @danny_hoyle]

@TomMC93 @MrMcEnaney I think the randomiser fad came from FA research whereby grouping children at random produced better results that ability groups. Same idea applied to 20% of children answering 80% of questions. From this the novelty of randomisers for pairs and lolly sticks for answering qs.

@NmburgeEdu @WHHS_Edin @NespressoUK And they say Twitter is not what it used to be.

[Danny Hoyle @danny_hoyle]

@TheCricketGeek If team value a win to be way ahead of a draw & a draw only marginally better than a loss then approach is valid. Have the team have made their own ‘scoreboard’ is lose = 0 pts, draw = 1 point, win = 5pts. Defining own success so less bothered by tradition and individual stats.
