Zen for most people. Reasonable pricing, good customer service, reasonable latency and a good router. I was reluctant to recommend them by name because I know there are other good ISPs, some are cheaper, some are more expensive, some operat

There seem to two doubtful assumptions being made here: 1. That the API pricing is required to make a profit, rather than being effective market segmentation to make a larger profit. 2. That if subscriptions are loss making, it is not worth

IMO home education is usually better for social development because you typically meet a greater variety of people in different settings. I think its more likely to be a problem for some adults. Remote work can be bad for a large group of p

The British ISP I tend to recommend gives you a Frtizbox (included with monthly package with 12 month contract, but becomes your property), but most will include a router with their package, usually a rubbish one, and most people do not car

I did not say its the right level. All my comments in this thread have been stating facts, not opinions (not that that stopped downvotes). By reduced I mean a stricter code of practice that requires a good reason for doing it.: https:&#x2F

So what metadata would be appropriate? Just an incident regarding this person was reported? For a hate incident regarding this person was reported? That could easily make things worse as the risk is that people looking at the check would as

The entire point of a constitution is that, unlike toilet paper, it can be enforced by the courts.

Non-crime hate incidents 1) never lead to people being charged, and 2) recording of them has been greatly reformed following a court ruling and new legislation I agree there are a lot of problems (e.g. the online safety Act) but it look as

The wikipedia article you cite is marked as needing citations. The research shows whole word learning does not work well in a classroom setting. it works well one to one. If parents do it as a game with kids it works. Its worked for at leas

Except you do no need to sit with a list of vocabulary to learn. You pick it up by reading stories etc.

Younger children will do what they are told more easily, but making learning a chore they do because they are told to rather than a joy will kill their love of learning and that is what causes the lack of motivation later on.

True, you need to understand and teach techniques rather than memorise.

Why does it have to be a fixed curriculum? Individualised learning can still cover everything important. > The point of a fixed curriculum is that there is a minimal level of knowledge on various subjects that we should expect all of our

Quite the opposite. A better education overall makes you better at maths, and more able to think critically. Killing kids love of learning is not the way to a better education. Drilling and memorising does not help you learn to think better

Most things in Linux too - all DEs I have tried have lots of keyboard shortcuts and so do a lot of applications. The problem is that they are less discoverable and you need to make and effort to get used to using them instead of point and c

No its not, its why use your brains for useless things. Because my kids did not spend as much time on arithmetic and rote learning they learned algebra much earlier than most do. My older daughter did IGCSE physics when she was 11 and maths

Because learning to read and write still develop your mind and capabilities. memorising stuff does not. A better analogy would be "why stop memorising long works now we can read things instead". No one memorises epic poems anymore

What is wrong with focusing on what you find interesting and doing only what is really necessary of what you do not? The problem is forcing everyone, regardless of talents or interests or aims, to follow the same curriculum If you know its

I think the problem with your argument is that you are placing teaching as something done to students at the centre of your view, rather than something done by students. It assume classroom learning. That rules out any really different appr
