Just because I'm following someone, it doesn't mean I agree with everything they say!
They're worried it will point out that most women have to position their seat belt differently to men, on account of it being painful. Although, if they set it up like that photo, the tests will just ignore it and assume we all drive round with one breast being painfully squashed.

I read that as 'Trump's daft plan'.

Not convinced I'm wrong.

Essentially, if Gove hadn't wreaked havoc as Ed Sec, schools wouldn't have needed to close for so long, lockdown learning would have been better when they did, and hundreds of teachers wouldn't have died.

They also canned BECTA, which was responsible for promotion and integration of ICT in education and had the strategic objective: "to develop a national digital infrastructure and resources strategy leading to greater national coherence."

I know the schools' response plan was thrown out by Gove (and his sidekick Cummings) when he was Ed Sec.

They've had ages to redact, classify etc.

'The Epstein files' are probably the evidential version of a colander by this point.

That jumped out at me, too.

There, there?

Oh dear.

Time for bed. 🥱

Absolutely not. We teach trig for understanding, starting with investigating side lengths in families of similar triangles. I warn students that the formula sheet is labelled for Pythagoras, so they should add hyp, opp, and adj themselves. We give them a copy of the sheet so they get used to it.

'No prospects for progress' because the US had no intention of taking part in any real negotiations. They were there only there to push Ukraine into surrendering. As soon as they realised Zelensky had European backing for his own plan, they turned tail and ran.

They retired their stadium sets because they weren't selling enough.

Thank you for your coverage of this. For people outside the US, this whole process is bizarre and disturbing. People seem to be celebrating a result that, as yet, hasn't resulted in any unaltered information being released and doesn't look likely to.

[ It's 'all of a sudden', though. Sorry.]

There are many cases where things dismissed by scientists and/or historians as old wives' tales turned out to have an element of truth, just not fully understood or developed. 'Miasma' is essentially the idea that some diseases spread by air, so you can get sick without touching someone who is sick.

Extremely worrying for people who bought their family home before house prices went completely crazy.

Trump sleeps during meetings.

If that were the case, all patients could get their ticket validated in the hospital to get free parking, not a $13 daily charge.
