EEF: Improving Primary Science Guidance Report

This week The Education Endowment Foundation have released its new ‘Improving Primary Science’ guidance report .The EEF say, ‘High-quality primary science teaching builds pupils’ curiosity and critical thinking, helping them to build a coherent understanding of the world around them. It’s also crucial from a social mobility point of view, opening children’s minds to the opportunities they could…

really feelin' that characteristic finals crunch time experience rn

and if I said that dennis’ insistence on being the breadwinner/provider despite literally being a pampered princess who dgaf about traditional roles of masculinity in every other regard (aside from ego) is because his mom only stayed with/chose frank for his wealth and dennis is highly aware that he’s difficult to love and unable to show his emotions openly so he has to be contributing something to the relationship materially in order to feel like he’s worth staying for… and mac grew up with parents who were extremely ambivalent to him and eachother so he has to overcompensate by proving his worth at every given moment and seeking praise/validation from people (and religious icons) who will never demonstrate the same amount of dedication to him but he has no idea how else to desperately keep himself close to those he loves other than by eroding himself into something they’ll approve of… dear god they’re both exactly what the other needs — someone who can’t and won’t leave them even if they try — and they don’t even see it…

As much as I complain about it, this internship has taught me more in two weeks than I have learnt probably all my life. Research is fun, truly, and I hope I get to see more fruits of my labor soon.

I really wish i gave a shit about anyone other than them, but i dont

Listen, textbook, I admire the dedication to grifting my students into learning most of Constructive Logic before they've realized it. They are computer scientists after all. It's good for them. But... really? No explanation of formal proofs by contradiction in the undergraduate, Logic for CS textbook? You do include double negation elimination, which is an equivalent Classical axiom, but not, like, (A -> Bottom) -> ~A?

You mean I'm gonna have to derive that myself from the completely random and arbitrary Classical axioms you've decided to adopt and then neglected to prove the completeness of? Otherwise, all of these proofs will become extremely cumbersome and all of my students will swear off CS theory for the rest of their lives?

... ok fine, it'll be in the slides. T-T

Lila and Kell love to use the learning by doing method when they teach things to each other.

Lila demanded to know the names of the antari spells in acol, and Kell obliged by linking the spells to pleasure. The name of the spells echoed through her, made her body hum, ache for his touch. Lila is a quick learner: "Let's see if I remember it all," she said afterwards.

Kell never demanded Lila to teach him to fight in tftop, but she did in her own way: she threw a knife at him. He became her student, but she didn't go easy on him. Lila's teaching was linked to pain because for him to get better, his body had to ache. Aching was worth it because he improved. "Pain is a quick teacher," he taught her own lesson to her a while later.

I love how all these midnight burger cast imaginings being posted are basically just:

A lesbian with a PhD

The youngest (and most chill) tía

A pitiful white boy

The coolest guy you've ever seen in your fucking life

And they're all absolutely correct

im sooooo sick of neopagans thinking they invented stuff that literally every religion thats not modern american evangelicalism already has 💀 i dont care if u want to light candles in ur bedroom or whatever, but even when youre swinging at “normie” religions ur still missing like okay catholics LOVE altars. jewish liturgy celebrates moon cycles. whatever youre trying to articulate about an all encompassing divinity of universal love was probably said in verse by a persian muslim centuries ago. your american christian/atheist background is a huge outlier in the global history of religion: it’s not even that you’re missing some niche exception, it’s literally that your entire perspective on “organised religion” is based on an outlier 💀

grian we will keep u AWAY from flora after that 😭

Right 💥💥💥 she is not able to gauge how weak or strong players are, she’s very much like, I can do it, why can’t you do it ? 🤔🤔🤔

not a good mindset to have..

she comes from a twilight forest server, shes survived on her own for a long time as a player, but grian comes from a community of friends, so there’s an obvious difference in their abilities.

she’s not gonna kill him or cause ~severe physical harm, but they don’t get along, u can see Why 😭

my thoughts around ai art come down to the fact that in the place i live (canada, north america) we simply don’t value art. Like I’m not talking about some old dead guys paintings or even your fav cartoon. Art is literally part of everything and in school we boil it down to one class that becomes an elective as soon as you turn 13. 

imagine if there was a concerted effort to teach art in its MANY facets to people at a young age. I don’t feel defeated thinking about ai art being able to replicate me perfectly in 3 years. I’m just sad that absolutely nobody will have the critical thinking and passion to care about what’s being shown to them when that happens.

the worst thing about me being a Gen Z with a Gen X father is that i routinely use Gen Z slang & internet lingo around him to the point that he's able to accurately parse what it all means. AND THEN HE GOES AND USES IT AT WORK TO IMPRESS HIS TWENTY SOMETHING COWORKERS

I had my eight graders watch Pacific Rim as an example of the SciFi genre they were studying with the litterature teacher, and the lil bitches, my lil bitches that drive me mad so often for how rough they are, they fucking APPLAUDED Pentecost's Cancelling the Apocalypse speech! They made me so proud of them!!

my rhine headcanon is that she just mumbles the most important information under hear breath when she is deep in thought and REFUSES to elaborate.

rhine, who’s starring at a hilichurl: that’s my aunt

albedo, who has never known peace in his life: what

THERE ARE TEARS INM Y EYES LMAOS

poor albedo never gets a break.

Rhine saying or muttering stuff not thinking about the consequences and refusing to explain, leaving albedo like 3 years later staring up at his ceiling STILL trying to find out wtf she meant half the time.

kripke can pry uncannily intelligent homelander out of my cold dead hands by the way. remember when he knew what a churrascaria was... well i do

people always tell me that teaching middle schoolers must be hard and it is sometimes but like at the same time. where else am i going to be able to hold a group of children hostage while i talk about latin linguistics
