I've just had an email back from my MP, and it looks as if they just used AI to write their email. It didn't say much about what they were going to do, and didn't personalize it, as I said that I had DLD from birth and went to one of your schools. But if they are doing something about it, then good.

Received this from a friend of mine on this special day, #DLDDay:

DLD is a hidden, yet pervasive, lifelong disability that affects two children in every classroom. It is 5 times more common than ASD, & even more common than ADHD !!!

Do you think that we should have school tutors use AI for marking school grades?

New Zealand's Ministry of Education has revised their AI rules:

Ministry revises AI marking rules as teachers warn of confusion www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/ministry-...

Teachers left guessing after ministry U-turn on AI rules

Teachers can now use AI to help mark work but must oversee all results.

Tories are still trying to rule? They raised the fees of the uni courses just so they can horde it for their second and third houses!!

It's so funny to watch things happening in Parliament. When it's something that doesn't affect people so much (can't at the moment think of a good example), Parliment is full to the rafters, and when it is something important, such as SEND, there's hardly anyone in!!

Whenever I watch a police documentary, like Police Interceptors or Traffic Cops, these guys make me so excited. Totally love these dogs:

I think that I am out of touch with the tech world...I haven't seen any of these chatbots, but I believe there are two issues with these bots:

1) Kids will stop going out and touching grass
2) It could be a threat actor's paradise and make the bot cyberbully the kids.

Mother Nature is a destroyer as well as a healer. I've seen a lot of proof where humanity has destroyed something belonging to her, and she has healed it. For example, there's an alleyway where some trees were, and arsonists destroyed them, and now Mother Nature is in the process of fixing it.

Do I get a feeling that there are more disabilities in this year's Educating Yorkshire than there was in the first season? As far as I remember, Season 1 of the documentary there was only Musharaf who was a stammerer.

I hope the students have a good day on #DLDDay. They deserve to have the disorder known!!

Should I be watching this:

Yeah, the buildings in the 1960s weren't built very well. The buildings from the Victorian era are built to last!! Hehe. But going back to the film, I hope that New Zealand will sort out their classrooms.

Dysphasia PV @dysphasiapv.bsky.social · 9d

Yeah, and the Education Minister in New Zealand authorized it. If our classrooms and nurseries are in old buildings, that could mean that they've been built in Victorian times. Or do you mean "old" because they're not being looked after by any councils?

I don't think we have this in the UK. I agree with the tutors in this film, Open Plan Classrooms don't work:

So true. My parents introduced me to the boys, and we all watched this sketch together.
