I'm with you. The framing is all wrong too - 'helicopter parent' is a negative term not a parenting philosophy surely. Also I can't see anything in this article that's inconsistent with 'gentle parenting'. Also, this approach is clearly inappropriate for under 3s. Three more objections for you!

I wish people were willing to discuss illegal employers not illegal workers. It's pretty clear any intervention needs to make it harder to hire workers illegally, not harder to accept offers of illegal work.

NI Numbers don't stop illegal working
Passports don't stop illegal working
Residence cards don't stop illegal working
Driving Licenses don't stop illegal working
Bank statements don't stop illegal working
its almost as if you can't stop illegal working

but thats a hexagon. invested

thats a pentagon

Some notes on probability judgement – Notes from a data witch For the love of fuck, literally nobody thinks that 20% of the population is transgender. Please stop sharing that ridiculous YouGov statistic

Against my better instincts, I have written some notes on how human probability judgements work and what you should expect from surveys that ask people to guess what proportion of the population is transgender. I hope never to speak of this matter again

I got caught out by this recently, didn't know it was a relatively recent piece of legislation. HUGE implications for accessibility and vulnerable people being disproportionately impacted.

Odd that they used a system to find my correct address 10 months after the offence but not earlier? The paperwork was astronomical and I did think - a huge number of people who go to court are fairly low literacy and agency, this cannot be the best system or the fairest

This is so fascinating! I recently got a letter to my current address saying I had a £1100 fine for failing to provide info, failing to attend court, victim impact etc etc. It was a speeding ticket that went to my old address (insurance up to date, licence up to date... logbook not up to date) 1/2

The Rivendell one is so disappointing looking!

Free speech laws need to be reviewed after Linehan arrest, says Streeting The health secretary says ministers wanted police to focus on street crime rather than posts on social media.

Just so we're clear: wearing a tshirt to support an anti-genocide group is a criminal offence, but directly instructing people to assault a group which is protected under the equality act is 'free speech' which needs to be protected? Cool cool cool www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great post! Very interesting as a parent to a 2 year old. Who proudly asks for his 'bottle with mmm on it' - it has a letter M on, we often joke about his excellent grasp of phonics!

I don't see how it's ethical to even run a pilot without getting consent from students, it's their work!

So, do students consent to have their assignments included or not?

Al Marking and Feedback Pilot Swansea University is taking part in a Jisc sponsored pilot of Keath.ai, a generative Al-powered educational assessment platform designed to streamline grading and provide personalised feedback for assignments. You are invited to register your interest in taking part by completing this form by September 7th, with details of any assessments you would like to include in the pilot. Keath.ai is best suited to long form essays and reports in English. To take part in the trial, you will need to: • Attend training (approximately 1 hour) • Create a marking rubric • Train an Al model • Upload student submissions • Review marks and feedback • Reflect upon your use of Keath.ai

Was advertised this 'opportunity' through the University recently. I wonder if the students whose work is submitted will get the opportunity to consent in taking part? Or be told? Or indeed if they will be penalised for using AI for assignments that are used for this pilot?

Someone has clearly never been to Bristol and seen our average bystanders

Whilst I'm personally not against the existence of Israel, I think the people using terms like 'colonising land thieves' are generally more concerned about the genocide in Palestine than the origins of the state, which I think is entirely correct. Also nothing to do with this post. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

I feel like we are 6-9 months away from being told that an essential element of teaching impartially about Nazi Germany is to acknowledge that 'some of the people protesting against the Jews had legitimate concerns, actually' and maybe even 'it's not their fault Hitler took it too far'. Ludicrous

I can't tell you how happy it makes me to find a Lord of the Rings pun on a research paper in the wild. I don't know what to do with myself now, kinda feels like I should take the rest of the day off

I am begging university admins - if anyone, staff or student, emails you and shares that they are pregnant, then asks a follow up admin/HR question, it is completely appropriate to say congratulations rather than just ignore the news and address the query. Is this just me? I think it's so rude!

Horrific, is there anything we can do to support the family?

Analysing focus group data from a group of parents hits different when you are 4 months pregnant. I've been looking at this data since April, why am I now crying at the quotes about parenting being hard and peer support 😭 is it appropriate to mention pregnancy hormones in my reflexivity statement?

A screengrab of Mendeley Cite referencing software with a spinning 'loading...' wheel

Hello darkness my old friend

Productivity hack: just make all the logins and referencing software and file backup systems work. I'm in a reasonable state of flow today EXCEPT I have to stop every 5 minutes to add a reference, fix Google Drive, cajole a journal website into accepting my institutional email... It's so disruptive

This is a perfectly reasonable position to hold. One of the people involved in drafting the IHRA definition of antisemitism (Kenneth Stern) has publicly said it's wrong to equate antisemitism to anti-Zionism and people have a right to express anti-Zionism. This view is clearly not extreme

Also I loved this line 'Our baby is weaning so I just blitz the appropriate bits of meals for him and stick them in the fridge for him to throw all over the kitchen floor at his leisure.' so nice of you to support his hobbies 😂
