High standards feel harsh up front and kind over time. Low standards feel kind up front and harsh over time.

@NateJoseph19 I am a resource inclusion teacher, so I see a lot of classroom instruction. While our PD pushes conceptual understanding first, the best instruction uses explicit instruction, does not stay in manipulatives too long, and gives adequate practice time. Then they apply in wd px.

@Fergalcious_ Because the purpose of the classroom is to educate not to decorate.

It is a distraction from the purpose of learning.

Indeed, pedagogically it is counterproductive.

You cannot be creative at a high level unless you are robotic at a low level.

The fastest learner is the person with the shortest cycle time between attempt, feedback, and correction.

Lami's Theorem ✍️

It explains how three forces pull on a single point from different directions, keeping everything balanced and still. The main idea is straightforward. The strength of each force depends on the angle it has. If a force faces a wide angle, it must be strong. If the angle is narrow, the force can be weaker. The forces adjust to maintain balance. Imagine a lamp hanging from two chains attached to a ceiling. Gravity pulls the lamp straight down, while the two chains pull it up at angles. None of the forces wins; they balance each other perfectly. Lami's Theorem shows how the strength of each of these three forces relates to the angles between them. A critical condition is that there must be exactly three forces, all meeting at one point, and the object must not be moving. When these conditions hold true, the forces and angles follow a clear pattern. Knowing just the angles is enough to determine any unknown force.

Rob Kenyon in lockstep with the script he’s been coached to stick to in order to deflect from his litany of misogynistic comments. It wasn’t all 15 years ago, and respecting your Mum and your Nan should be standard, not ‘proof’ you’re not a sexist

@Rainmaker1973 nice visualization
can translate to matrix
then use some optimizer to solve (including efficient path)

Trauma Informed Practice is extremely common in school discourse, particularly around behaviour. But it’s another area where extreme caution is advised, because the evidence for its effectiveness is still very thin. It *sounds* right (who wouldn’t want to be ‘trauma informed’?) but that doesn’t mean it works.

A recent study funded by the @YouthEndowFund and the Home Office looked at the connection between TIP and children's behaviour and involvement in crime.

This super myth buster from Steplab about evidence-informed approaches to SEN/ additional needs provision. Summary: lots of things we sometimes think are useful, have no evidence to back them up, or weak evidence. In some cases they may even harm. Fidget spinners, Zones of Regulation, Mindfulness…just because we want something to work doesn’t mean that it does.

[gcsemaths(dot)online @MathsGCSETutor]

@tombennett71 I'm sure that over time fidget spinners must reinforce the "fidgeting pathways" in the brain, thus increasing the urge to fidget. The brain adapts according to how it is used. Resisting the urge to fidget would slowly reduce the urge.

@reformexposed Yet they want to repeal the handgun ban introduced after Dunblane where I believe the murderer was white.
Just saying.

[Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Rob Kenyon has called for all knives to be banned.

@supertanskiii No prisons - I should think Nigel will be voting Green from now on

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Fuck me, that sexist plumber that Reform found in a pub DIED ON HIS ARSE.

It was the worst performance I’ve ever seen on QT. I almost felt sorry for him at one point then recovered by remembering that he’s a misogynistic arsehole standing for a racist party.
