It’s not my job to educate you on how the education industry works. Go and read what qualified people have already written about it in academic journals.

No assessment method is perfectly suited to every student.

Coursework can be similarly adapted.

All this moral panic is garbage.

Easily solved by using essays with an unseen question written in exam conditions as assessment instruments.

Literally a pencil and paper solves this problem.

They have elections to decide who’s going to shit in the Seine?

Well so far I’ve painted all the rocks in my garden neon yellow, so I’ve done about the same as those twats.

Oh, and also all the things I mentioned in my previous post (except run for Parliament), so there is that.

Doesn’t actually take that much fucking effort. I can’t guarantee that my actions will have definite results, but what I can say for sure is that at least I’m doing things that are actually targeted at fixing the problem and not just getting attention so that a bunch of useless wankers can feel self-righteous.

Certainly my solar panels will contribute something at least.

So, what have you done?

Does anyone else find the term “creatives” to be so damn condescending? It’d be like calling executives, “Admins” or “powerpointers”

They’re not doing anything except virtue signalling.

What did you do during the climate crisis, grandpa? Did you canvass politicians? Did you install solar panels? Did you vote for the green party? Did you blockade drilling sites? Did you run for Parliament?

No Jimmy I sprayed paint on some old rocks

May as well stay at home and stab yourself in the head with a fork until you black out.

I don’t think you RC

Not any more

But they layer so many unwanted services and bloatware on top that it makes it hard to use. Being forced to be online to log in and forced use of OneDrive confuses new users just as much

The key thing is that teachers can ban phones in their individual classrooms if the school permits it.

There are many schools in which the senior admin don’t institute phone bans (you’d be surprised how common this is).

Legislating it helps maintain consistency and parity between schools nation wide, which is important as it’s a quality of education issue, so the policy should be consistent across all schools.

I’m not from North America, but the situation is similar across most western democracies.

You could always pass it on to someone who can’t afford a new one, a school student for example

Troll successful lol

This might take several minutes

…or itcould take several hours

It’s not just nostalgia. I absolutely want a phone I can throw at a wall and put back together without it costing me money.

Sometimes you don’t know how bad your ex really is until you’re in a new relationship

It’s true, we still don’t speak English in northern Queensland (Australia) lol

Howyagoincuntay?

That’s every instance, not just Lemmy world

What? Why?

Keanu would want you to use whatever distro you’re comfortable with, he’s a good guy
