Aspiring Renaissance dude, special interests include education, politics, history, heavy metal, tabletop roleplaying, being a massive nerd in general, and a bit of rugby here and there. Views entirely my own* (subject to conditions)
Not quite in line with the prompt because the film came out before I was born, but Chaim Topol was THIRTY SODDING SIX when Fiddler On The Roof was released
Showing my other half Master and Commander for the first time. Shout out to @davidlsims.bsky.social for keeping the flame of Nelson burning on the Spanish Main
Shohreh Aghdashloo is a fucking treasure and her outfits are insane (very complimentary). Look at this fucking masterpiece
Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.
In fairness it was the Dilbert guy who has long had a tendency to say absolute nonsense
This is really coming off just one performance in The Diplomat but my God is Rory Kinnear perfect as a greasy toff
"Milking the taxpayer for everything they're worth is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman"
Bit of both really, but more the latter - that's really down to the design philosophy of the period. One more modern example and one closer to that era
Very good to emphasise avoiding teaching to the test and contributions from leaders. I wish that last part went further though - "ensuring teachers are trained to teach writing" feels like a limited vision of leadership contributions. Most important to signal their own learning journey with writing.
Very much agree with point 5- schools feel compelled to drive to rate of output very early, and need to think more about consolidating steps along the way. Point 7 re identifying pupils also crucial. Vital to do this a) collaboratively with English/lit specialists, and b) using samples of pupil work
From the summary. Broadly agree with all of these, and glad to see that the issue of writing FLUENCY specifically is picked up in Point 3. Point 3 is not very clearly-expressed though, at least in summary form. Children need a) mechanical practice of sentence construction AND b) grammatical skills
