Principal: Hi. I'm looking for the new student, Susan.

Teacher: Yes, I told her about the afternoon snacks. Maybe she went to go get some toast and jam.

Principal: Uh, where's the food again?

Teacher: In...the cafeteria?

Teacher: My room's heater is broken.

Manager: We don't have any other classrooms for you.

Teacher: What about that one, that one over there, or the other 4-5 free rooms?

Manager: As I said, go find somewhere else, like the public study room.

Teacher: You want me to teach my history lessons in a big, open public space where kids are running around, talking, and playing on their phones?

Manager: We don't have any other free classrooms.

The purpose of education is not to create future workers, it is to create good and knowledgable humans. Which is also the purpose of parents.

A girl saved herself and enrolled back to school. An action was taken by the officials to save the girl.

A student of Class 8 in Gonda reported her impending marriage to field officers and activists in the district, saving herself from child marriage. The girl was subsequently rescued by an anti-human trafficking unit and childline team, following which she was enrolled back in school.

Faith groups want more say in secular Britain. Labour should tell them to go to hell

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/12/faith-groups-schools-secular-britain

Division, be it by wealth (education, medicine, housing) is a scourge and had been for as long as I can remember in Britain. We have the CoE in the already deeply flawed House of Lords by right, what is next?

Stop using chat rooms (like Discord) as a replacement for tech support forums! Chat rooms and private messaging have a place for synchronous communication, but threads get easily lost, and they’re usually not indexed by search engines.
