Many of you know that our friend Curtis has been selling some delicious lime putty in Wichita, Kansas. He is now down to his final drums of lime putty for sale and needs to move them before he is left with no option but to throw them away. It would be a shame to see such wonderful material lost and so I hope that some of you that are in need of lime putty will step up and take the final 30 barrels of his hands. He has 30 more drums remaining, each at 55 gallons, and is asking a mere $75/drum. That price is insane, so a no brainer if you are looking for lime putty.
He says it would be best for you to come and pick up in Wichita rather than to try and arrange transportation because of his time crunch. He would be happy to load you up with his fork lift to make the process that much easier. If you are interested, please contact Curtis at cldunn1@hotmail.com as sson as possible because time is running out.

Vinay Manda: .net or .com?
I have been thinking for a while whether to register the domain with .net or .com and as you can see I ended up with .com.
.net sounded more professional at first but I realized that .net was intended for network providers. .pro or .name would be appropriate for individuals as per their purpose.
Since I didn’t like .name the obvious choice was .com. Though .com was for commercial websites, as it was more widely associated with web and would be easy for others to remember, I ended up on that.

The past few days have been a struggle.
I was supposed to be home today for an OB appointment with pet. I was, I made it, it was a little iffy though. I was supposed to be here yesterday or before.
I ended up stuck in Billings on the way, spoiler Billings isn’t on the way. For nearly two days I sat with pet just getting more and more mad, and more and more scared. I was reasonably powerless to do anything about it. She was a complete wreck over the thought that I might miss this appointment.
Well, eventually the guy I was supposed to rendezvous with to trade loads did brave the open and relatively clear Wyoming roads so that life could go on for the rest of us. I made it home yesterday, but it was late.
I mentioned trying to get a local flatbed driving job in my last post. Well, I applied for that this morning. My inside source at the company tells me that nobody else has applied. The hiring manager is playing coy though trying to make it out like he has a ton of applicants. I’ll interview with him in the morning. I have received a little training but have no actual experience pulling a flatbed trailer, I’m not worried about it though.
Then there was the big appointment. It was a little disappointing. Pet isn’t pregnant despite having many, many of the symptoms of pregnancy. I was pretty sure she was based on my experience with my first wife carrying our two children.
This leaves us with some unanswered questions though, if pet isn’t pregnant what the hell is going on? This is a burning question in our lives, something isn’t right. She’s go a whole battery of bloodwork to be taken tomorrow, in an effort to drill down into that question. We’ll see.
We’ve done a lot of considering about this question of me driving over the road as well. We’re thinking it’s time to throw in the towel on it. There are other local jobs around here. Some of them pay better than others. We’ll see how that goes.
For now we’re trying to regroup.

Environmental Integrity Project found that groundwater under 16 Texas coal plants had unsafe levels of contaminants.
The report found that the groundwater around coal-fired plants across the state contain levels of pollutants such as arsenic, boron, cobalt or lithium that would make it unsafe for human consumption. It also found that almost none of the impoundments where plants dispose of spent coal are lined properly to prevent leakage — one of the requirements of the 2015 Coal Ash Rule.
For example, at a plant south of San Antonio owned by the San Miguel Electric Co-Op, a plant northwest of Houston owned and operated by the Texas Municipal Power Agency, known as Gibbons Creek, and Southwestern Electric Power Company’s J. Robert Welsh Power Plant east of Dallas, the level of cobalt found in the groundwater reached more than 600 micrograms per liter — more than 100 times higher than safe levels, according to the report.
And multiple wells at the San Miguel plant have boron concentrations of more than 30 milligrams per liter, exceeding EPA’s health advisory by tenfold.

A Hidden Garden in Venice | Therefore, I Am.
A garden in Venice is rare, and to find a hidden, historic garden in a centuries-old palazzo turned five-star hotel is even more remarkable. But that’s just the beginning at the Boscolo Venezia.
Winding paths, trompe-l’oeil rocks and caves, even faux ruins and fountains make this garden a perfectly delightful and hushed retreat from a Venice that is too often overdone and overrun. To add to the elegance, doves glide among trees planted over a 100 years ago.
Built at the end of the 16th century by a noble Venetian family, with a canal on one side and the Veneta lagoon on the other, this house, with its multi-colored marble and spectacular glistening Murano glass chandeliers has served as a monastery and even as the embassies of France and Savoy.
The unique Venetian style includes marble terrazzo floors, vaulted and frescoed ceilings, gilded picture frames, marble mantles and intricately painted furniture covered in priceless silks. It looks much as it did when it housed the French embassy in the 1700s.
Our beautiful room overlooking the Veneta lagoon.
The restaurant and the bar, where we had breakfast in the morning and a sumptuous, truly Venetian dinner in the evening.
The Boscolo Venezia is romantic, restful oasis from the often too, too touristy Venice. It feels like stepping back centuries in glamour and elegance.

Over the next four days I will be working intensively with Bridge Bats Swim Club and the University of Houston Swimming and Diving Team.
For the Bridge Bats, this is my fourth visit to the team. After a three visit series last year, which is a typical engagement for me with a team, Head Coach Dirk Marshall and I decided to continue working together through the 2018-2019 season.
I only talk about the top 10% of what I know. I’m here to help and this one quality control to ensure that teams I work with get stuff that I have the highest confidence in.
For each team, I present on the same topics but differently depending on the audience. At Bridge Bats, I talk to coaches, athletes and parents. Coaches are welcome when I present to athletes, as well as parents and so on, but the information presented will be directed at the specific audience.
So what do I talk about?
Learned Optimism: The theory of Learned Optimism was my entree into the world of Positive Psychology. I read the book by Martin Seligmann in 2007 and soon after I was applying to the MAPP (Masters in Applied Positive Psychology) at Penn to study under Seligman and the other top people in the field.
It’s a pretty simple theory: optimism is a skill that people can learn, like riding a bike or playing the piano. It’s easy to get started and very hard to master. There are a lot of misconceptions about what optimism actually is and a lot of conventional wisdom that totally misses the mark.
Active Constructive Responding: How do you talk to people about good news? How do you get people on your team capitalizing with each other on what is going well? How can you improve your relationships by changing the way you respond when other people are in a positive emotional state?
Active Constructive Responding is about all of the way above, and by far my favorite thing to get people started with, for the sheer response they exhibit when they do it for the first time.
Emotional Regulation: We are all emotional creatures. We cannot control what emotions will strike us in what moments. We can, however, work on how we respond and think about emotions.
We talk both about how to manage your internal response to strong emotional situations and also about how to help teammates, athletes or children with the same.
Afterwards and between each engagement, there is a feedback process that goes on between myself and the coach of the team I’m working with. This time around, I plan on documenting some of that as well, so check back next week for that!

It has been a while since I put finger to keyboard (and yes it is one finger as I can’t type) to write a blog about politics and the early years sector.
This is not because there has not been anything to write about – there has – but it has mainly been about the funding for the 30 hours and much of it speculation due to lack of information, or genuine concerns based on sustainability of early years settings .Until the last week or so. I have been commenting quite a lot via social media and indeed in person to colleagues. I just haven’t written a blog.
This is not because I have lost interest – because I haven’t! If you have read any of my social media content you will know I still have a keen interest. It is certainly not because I have nothing to say ! It is not even because I have not had enough time – because although time is in short supply – when I have something important to say, I make the time.
No, the reason is because there has been nothing new to say – we have all been going round in circles saying the same thing in different ways. Lots of people have written articles, and blogs, and letters about the fact that the proposed funding is not enough.
Reading it reminded me of several things – and most importantly that lack of sufficient funding is not the only issue the early years sector has to worry about at the moment.
So the two things together, is why I have decided to put finger to keyboard.
My Thoughts For once this not a ‘have a go at the current government’ blog, it is an attempt to put my thoughts in writing about what I think needs doing to start the process of getting education in this country heading in the right direction.
Of course this will not be an instant or overnight change – it will take time and will need to be a ‘step at a time’ sort of approach but if everyone could agree on what ‘getting it right for our children’ is (as stated by Angela Raynar in the NW article) then we might stand a chance of all heading in the same direction, not in many directions or as is tending to happen at the moment – in changing directions depending on who is in government and who is the responsible minister.
What we really need is to stop what is happening now – stop any in the pipeline changes and literally go back to the drawing board, look at how much money is in the system and what can be done in practical terms to start the ball rolling in the direction that will put our education system back on track – because lets be honest – things are a bit of a mess at the moment – from early years right through to university.
First things first – I have said it before and I will say it again (and again and again if needed) we MUST take education out of politics if we are going to stop this constant round of changes in direction, in policy, in practice, in what the ‘in thing is’, in people making decisions that they are not qualified to make them and all the other things that are resulting in children being data, and not people.
A child is so much more than just a number or worse just a tick (or a dot) on a matrix or sheet of data.
A child is not a future tax revenue, a child is person with rights now and in the future, to have their needs met and opportunities to flourish – but who also will be a key player in how our society could develop in to one where everyone is valued, respected, supported and supportive.
Every child is a unique individual with similarities to other children but also with many differences. To ‘get it right’ for every child we must fully consider those similarities and those difference. No ifs, no buts, we are getting it wrong now because we are trying to fit children into ‘one size fits all’ adult created boxes.
I am not silly – I know that politicians on all sides will oppose my ideas about taking education out of politics and for hundreds of different reasons, so we will need that stepped approach.
Instead of constant changes every time there is an election (and often in between elections during cabinet shuffles),if a all party Education Group is set up with representatives from all political parties each with experience and qualifications in place or being worked towards, we might start to make progress. I find it hard to accept that those who are expected to make such vital decisions are not expected to have either experience or professional knowledge.
The Education Group will need representatives from leading organisations from early years up to university level, and those who work on the ‘ground floor’ in other words those that do the job day in and day out, plus some others (maybe volunteers) who have had recent direct experience of working with children and young people but who do not have any direct personal connection that would or could result in them gaining in anyway from voting or influencing others in the way policy is taken forward. In others words take monetary gain or back handers, or golden hand shakes or promises of funding or plain and simple bribes out of the equation.
Sounds easy, doesn’t it – but I know it will be anything but easy as so many have personal agendas or questionable ethics around their own careers or business links or available ‘perks’.
If you are thinking that, you are of course right – MP’s will change BUT we will not have Education Ministers anymore, the group will be chaired by a independent person decided on by the Education Group itself. MP’s like any other member of the group may (and would) change. The whole point though is the focus of the group, the direction of the group, the education policy will not change just because one or more member leaves through change of employment, ill health, retirement or indeed government.
And in my opinion this is what education policy needs most – long term, consistent, evidence based plans.
This in itself will save lots of time and money – think about it – every time we have a new Government, or a new minister we have to wait to see what the ‘new plan’ is, all those who advise or are part of consultation groups then have to meet the minster and play the ‘getting to know you game’ and then wait to see if the minister is listening and then usually because the minister is not listening and does not have any educational expertise, spend hours and hours challenging the ministers ideas – usually in politely worded letters and articles.
In my opinion – having been involved in a few of these meetings at various levels – a complete and utter waste of time and money. As are the so called consultations and the pilots of ‘the new idea’ – these things cost thousands, and sometimes millions of tax payers money – yes, our money, which I am sure most of us would prefer was not wasted on meetings just to get to know people, or consultations that government don’t take any notice of, or pilots about things that the government are told won’t work.
Talking of which – I am just an individual who happens to advocate for children, families and early years settings, I do not considered myself to be an expert, just some one with a reasonable amount of common sense and a passion to try to make a difference.
However, my campaigning track record is pretty good – I said increased ratio’s were not the way to reduce childcare costs; I said childminding agencies were not needed or wanted and would not be financially sustainable; I said baseline assessment just to produce data for the government was not needed and would not work – and on these issues I was right.
I have been saying (and still are saying) that funding levels are not sustainable and settings will close or not offer funded places; that testing is flawed and does not improve outcomes; that trying to introduce academic learning too soon would have a negative impact on the children and eventually on society.
Of course I am not the only person saying these things but I am usually one of the first to say them, and one of those who keeps saying it and keeps trying to get Government to listen – so maybe, just maybe, I am worth at least listening to?
Money matters Again, I am not silly – I know that there really is not any more money – at least not any more ‘new money’. Governments are very good at saying there is ‘new money’ when in fact it is the same money just recycled or shared differently. However, what I also know is the Government has HUGE amounts of tax payers money that they keep for things they want to do – they are just not honest about how much there is or what they plan to do with it. I am not an accountant but I know the figures given about the money in and the money out – often do not tally and therefore there is ‘new money’ but it does not get spent on the things that matter. As an example MP’s pay and expenses seem to have a bottomless pot, where as other things seem to have a very limited pot.
So once the Education Group is set up they need to be given control over the education pot of money – because I am fairly sure the money available could be used much more fairly and effectively.
Should the people who make up the Education Group be paid? Yes but a flat rate for all that covers their direct expenses, and their time commitment. There should not be high ‘consultant fees’ or more for MP’s or CEO ‘s of organisations or companies – no one should be expected to do it for free and those organisations and companies that offer the services of their employees should be reimbursed for actual costs – but so should those who are involved from ‘the ground floor’ or as a expert or as an advisor.
It is not for me to say how much – this needs to be decided – but personally I think it would be much less than we currently pay, and because in the long run there would be far less need to meet to get to know people or to plan the next ‘new idea’ that costs would reduce not increase because everyone would be going in the same direction and things would just need evaluating and updating, rather than implementing totally new agendas.
A few ideas for starting points It is not for me to say what direction the Education Group should head but I do of course have some suggestions that might be worth considering and which should not be difficult to implement or very costly. These could be ‘starting points’ that would make a difference while the ‘bigger picture’ is considered and the infrastructure and finances discussed.
Curriculum for Early Years We are of course still waiting for the promised update to the Early Years Foundation Stage(EYFS), so let’s use this to an advantage – scrap it – don’t publish it.
Instead quickly update it by removing all the ELG’s and changing those statements linked to reading, writing and other academically stated aims. This will then stop early years settings and reception teachers from feeling they should push children into academic learning or that they have some how failed if some (or many) of the children in their care do not show enough progress toward the goals. This would in turn then encourage more play based experiences without any planned outcomes.
The EYFS is not prefect and it does need replacing but in the short term removing the goals would be a good starting point. In the long term I suggest we don’t need a ‘curriculum’ for under 7’s but we do need a play based culture where teachers and early years practitioners are trusted to do the job they have been trained to do. Of course this is not that simple because too many practitioners have not had a play based developmentally appropriate based training / qualification but that is something long term that needs to change.
Second thing to do – that will take a little while to fully implement – but a start could be made – is to provide all children with a Kindergarten type stage from 3 – 7. Some Year One teachers are already trying (and succeeding) to extend the ethos of a play based experiences, but they still have to prepare the children in their care for stats and other testing. So a simple to implement start would be to scrap stats and testing for under 7’s. Please note this does not mean stopping observation based assessment by teachers or early years practitioners, it just means changing the focus so that it is only if a concern is raised that a child cannot do some thing developmentally appropriate (which is different from choosing not to do something) that more in depth assessment takes place. This in turn would mean less paperwork requirements and so enabling staff to observe more closely, take photos and enable effective sharing of information with parents and other professions through really knowing the child rather than needing to reel of data and assessment scores.
Funding Time to come clean and admit this policy is flawed, it was just a knee jerk reaction to other promises made by others during the run up to the election. A simple solution that would support parents and settings in the short term while the bigger picture of funding is looked at would be for the government to continue with the funding of 15 hours of education for 3 and 4 year olds – but to fund this at a more realistic rate based on CURRENT costs – and to index link it. This links to research that part time attendance at a high quality early years setting does improve educational outcomes (note – if through play based non academic experiences), and so it is right that every parent should be able to access this funding if they want to – but without expecting early years settings to subsidise the cost or receive low pay.
For the childcare side of things to support working parents (as many need to work or want to work) then it seems fair that tax payers money is used to support ALL children by means of part payment direct to childcare settings . At the moment many parents find the childcare benefit systems hard to navigate or understand – and often end up having to repay huge amounts due to system failures.
So using employment records to check if a parent is working, the government should pay a subsidy directly to the childcare provider of say £2 per hour (and to start with for the 30 hours already suggested)- and the parent pays the rest themselves – again directly to the provider. This way any variations needed due to area lived in, or parental choice will be paid by the parent. One point I would make is that if a parent has more than two children in childcare at any one time, this idea would not be sustainable for either government or parents so consideration has to be given to this. Consideration also needs to be given to support parents who chose to stay at home with their children – or indeed have to due to their child’s specific needs. One idea would be to have a flat rate for stay at home parents – so the same if one children or several children – even £30 a week would make a huge difference to those concerned – but would be half the cost of paying a subsidy to childcare providers of £60 a week for one child for working parents . The needs of the children should be put first, not the needs of tax revenue. As an aside I wonder how many parents work evenings or weekends to avoid their child going into childcare for long hours and so do not have childcare costs but still pay tax? Is that a fair system?
Qualifications GCSE’s in Maths and English are not the right way to access if someone would be a good early years practitioner. If it was – a lot of the current good and outstanding settings would not be operating because many of their staff started without those qualifications – and some still don’t have them. Experience, passion, in head knowledge, willingness to lear on the job, and sector based skills in the 3 R’s far more important.
Joined Up Thinking I am not as knowledgeable outside early years and so don’t feel I should comment on schools or university – other than to say the system is not working for anyone at the moment – student, those that teach, or indeed for employers once young people leave school or university. The benefit of an Education Group would be that there could be a joined up system that enabled everyone to agree what was needed from early years up to end of university. Of course there would need to be sub groups for each part of the education system but if all could agree on the basic direction and how to work together that would be a huge improvement on the state of things at the moment.
Summary So my ideas may be idealistic rather than realistic but we need to start somewhere and starting points are not always the end points. My own personal experiences and those of family and friends tell me that our education system is broken and a quick fix, like the introduction of Grammar schools will make things worse not better. We really do need a complete rethink – and easy to put in place measures to give everyone time to think about the bigger picture and what sort of education system we need.
To answer the first question in my title – I think childcare and education are interwoven and one cannot be provided without the other. The child / young person must be at the centre of everything we do and what is ‘right’ for one child may not be ‘right’ for another child. We need flexibility, we need to think about the child’s well being and ensure we safeguard them from inappropriate education systems whilst ensuring every child flourishes – and for that reason I think we need another word to describe the education and childcare we provide, as neither word is ‘right’ and conveys different things to different people.
So maybe that is the first thing to be decided? Personally I think the word education should be for the over 7’s, once they start their academic learning – as for the under 7’s I am not sure but the word ‘childcare’ does not seem to convey the right image or message either, when nurturing these young children ( the under 7’s) and laying the foundations for everything that will follow once they are 7, is perhaps the most vital role in the world for parents and early years professionals.
However, for the time being and to fit with current Government agendas, I can see why the Government speak of ‘childcare’ and ‘education’ for funding reasons. I don’t agree with it, but I can understand why.
The second question in the title is harder to answer because at the moment it appears some are making the ‘right noises’ about wanting to listen but experience says no one is currently really listening and no one is brave enough (yet) in Government to stand up and say ‘Enough, we have got to change how we do things’.
As a campaigner I have to remain optimistic otherwise I would just spend all my time in a dark room without access to the rather depressing news items that hit my eyes and ears everyday.
But sometimes I do feel like I am talking to the wall – and maybe that is because I talk and write rubbish that no one is interested in.
However, I do have faith that my knowledge, my personal experiences and indeed my track record – prove that others including Government and opposition political parties should at least read / listen to my opinion and ideas – and preferably invite me to meet with them so we can discuss and make changes to the system – before it is too late for all of us.
I will wait for comments on this blog, or on social media to see who has read this blog and what they think.
My granddaughter Scarlett stated school this week, she was very excited to be going to ‘big school’.
Scarlett has been to part time nursery and so is used to activities and experiences to support her development towards the goals within the Early Years Foundation Stage (that most children will meet by the time they finish the reception year).
My personal view that the EYFS Goals are not appropriate will be put aside for this blog because what has happened to Scarlett is far more worrying than even those blessed numeracy and literacy goals.
Scarlett’s first day at school was brilliant – she loved it. The school had arranged for just the children who were new to the school to attend on the Monday. This meant that those children who previously attended the schools nursery did not go on Monday – and this meant there were around 18 children present – including Scarlett. Some of her friends from her old nursery also attended and as I say Scarlett love it.
Tuesday was a different matter – all the children attended and it was chaos with children crying, mothers crying and fathers fretting. There were not enough staff to handle the distressed children, never mind the upset and concerned parents.
My daughter left Scarlett at school and phoned me in tears, saying ‘Mum it was brutal, I did not want to leave her’. Scarlett is my daughters second child and she is used to both school and nursery drop off, and this was the first time she had been in tears. I calmed her and suggested she phoned the school – which she did. School agreed that it had not been acceptable at drop off time and that they would ensure there were extra staff the next day. My daughter was slightly reassured but still worried as Scarlet has a number of issues including sensory issues and has already had support for this and there is a concern that like her older brother she may be on the autistic spectrum (although being a girl it had been assumed this was less likely – but those who keep up to date with such things know that just this week there has been news items about girls and autism). Anyway as my daughter was concerned staff offered to go to the reception class to take a photo to send to my daughter.
And they did send a photo to her but it was the wrong child! My daughter did inform them and did delete the photo from her phone in front of them – but it is worrying that such a mistake can happen.
Scarlett was ‘left behind’ when the class went into the hall – it seems she had gone to the toilet but no one had counted the children out of the class or into the hall and so no one noticed that Scarlett was missing.
Scarlett managed to get ‘lost’ within the school as she had tried to find a quiet place, and again no one noticed.
Scarlett’s new shoes were rubbing her feet – so much that her feet bled – she told her teacher but no one told her mum.
And on Friday Scarlett was found by another parent on her own in the playground having been let out before an adult had arrived to collect her. At the end of school the gates are open and any child could wander out of the school to try and find their parent or try to get home. As it was Scarlett was being picked up by her old nursery as they provide before and after school care, and the nursery staff are well known to the school – so no reason why Scarlett should have been let out before nursery staff got there.
As a grandmother – all these things have caused me to worry about Scarlett’s safeguarding while at school.
However, as hinted at in the title and first part of this blog – there was worse to come and in my opinion also a safeguarding issues in the wider sense of the word – that to her well being and mental health – and indeed her academic success in the long term.
After just FIVE days at school and still FOUR, Scarlett had homework set!!!
First a reading book – not a picture book that many schools do send home with children to share with their parents, the idea of course being to look at the pictures, describe what they can see – and if they want to ‘tell a story’ based on the picture – but without any right or wrong to the description or the story.
However Scarlett’s first book home from school had words in it – admittedly just one sentence per page – but this one sentence means there is a right and a wrong focus to how a child describes the picture.
BUT even this was not the thing that had me wanting to scream in anger and frustration, and quite frankly made me feeling like jumping on a train and rushing to London to camp on the doorstep of the DfE until someone listened to me and stopped this utter nonsense and harmful practice.
You see – Scarlett had a list of SPELLINGS to learn!!!!!!
She is interested in letters – at least the ones in her name – but that is it – a good healthy interest which in my opinion is right for her age.
WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING ?
WHERE DOES IT SAY IN THE EYFS THAT CHILDREN STILL UNDER COMPULSORY SCHOOL AGE HAVE TO LEARN SPELLINGS – AND AT HOME?
WHY IS THERE A ONE SIZE FITS ALL POLICY ON THIS?
WHERE IS THE UNIQUE CHILD IN ALL OF THIS?
WHERE IS THE PLAY BASED CURRICULUM?
Readers may guess by the capitals that I am cross – very cross.
This goes against all the research about how young children learn, and against the evidence that children who are introduced to formal academic learning at a later age (6 or 7) do much better in the long term – and become confident readers for pleasure as well as for studying.
Whereas those who are pushed into formal academic learning earlier – and indeed Too Much, Too Soon do less well and some ‘switch off completely’ and never become competent, confident readers.
You only have to look at the number of children who need extra support in school with reading and writing – and the number of young people leaving school without GCSE, to know that the policy of earlier academic learning is just not working.
Children need to start school later, they need to play more until they are 6 as a minimum and ideally 7.
So my granddaughter Scarlett and my other granddaughter Selena who starts school this week, and all their peers are being set up to fail, set up not to reach their personal potential (however that might look), set up to be yet more children who are the ‘guinea pigs’ of a government that is not prepared to listen to those who understand child development, or to take heed of the realms and realms of research about such things, and long term data about school leavers in this country and other countries.
Scarlett and Selena – Granny is sorry – I have been trying to get the government to listen, I really have (and so have many of Granny’s friends and colleagues) – but so far I (we) have failed, I have failed you all, I have not made a enough difference to stop this nonsense of homework, spellings for 4 yr olds.
You should be playing, you should be outside climbing, running. digging in sand and pouring water, growing things, using your imagination and having fun.
I promise I will keep on trying – but I have a horrid feeling it will be too late for many of your peers – and maybe even for you.
The Government has a lot to answer for – and if only they would listen, they would find out that actually they could achieve their aim of a ‘good education for all’ just by letting children start academic learning later and by playing for longer.
Update One Scarlett had a terrible night waking up upset, and in the morning stated she was frighten about getting lost at school. My daughter did not send her to school, but phone the school to arrange an urgent meeting with the school head – which to be fair to the school was arranged for first thing this morning. My daughter had spoken to several other parents and the nursery staff, and knew many others were concerned about safeguarding of these very young children at the school- and about the homework, particularly the spellings.
Update Two My daughter and her husband brought Scarlett and her sister, to my house first thing this morning so I could look after them while they attended the meeting with the school head.
The children have now been collected from me, and my daughter has reported a very positive meet with the Head Teacher, who she said was very apologetic and listened not only to my daughter’s concerns but also to suggestions as a way forward. The Head was grateful that at this stage my daughter wanted to resolve the issues for Scarlett and support all the children in reception to have more positive experiences at school.
Scarlett will be provided with a safe place in the classroom for when she needs it and a box of sensory / twiddle toys to help her self regulate. Staff will be available to help her co regulate if needed.
AND my daughter has been invited back to school this afternoon so she can see for herself the changes made.
My Thoughts? The schools response has been quick and positive, I hope Scarlett and her peers now have a much better experience at school. I am pleased that my daughter listened to my advice and had the strength to follow through and meet with the school head.
I could of course say a lot more about the curriculum provided, but as this is a ‘soapbox’ issue for me – I won’t harp on now (those interested can read previous blogs), the immediate issues have hopefully been dealt with – which for Scarlett and her peers was the most important thing to address.
I hope this blog and the updates will give other parents and grandparents encouragement to speak to schools if they have any concerns – and to use the internet through social media and blogs, to raise awareness of these issues and to support people to come together and speak with one voice, so that changes can be brought about.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery has praised Barcelona star Samuel Umtiti amid speculation that the Gunners are looking to seal a £60 million transfer deal in the summer.
Umtiti signed for Barcelona way back in 2016 and has become an integral part of the Spaniards side over the past few seasons, but there has been a lot of speculation that he could be sold to help finance a move for Ajax superstar defender Matthijs De Ligt, as the Dutchman is one of the most highly-regarded defenders in world football and has a number of top clubs chasing a possible deal, but it is believed that he would prefer a move to the Spanish Champions rather than a move to the Premier League or PSG.
And that has led to recent speculation that Barcelona are willing to let Umtiti leave in the summer transfer window and will demand around £60 million for his services, as they will use the funds to complete the deal for De Ligt.
However, Spanish website Marca claimed that Umtiti has no intention of leaving Barcelona at the end of the season and wants to win back his place in the starting line-up, believing he can oust Clement Lenglet from the team once he has fully recovered from his knee injury and prove that Barca do not need to spend as much as £75m on De Ligt.
But Emery has opened the door back-up to a potential summer deal after praising the Frenchman, and ultimately hinting that a possible deal could happen in the summer window.
‘He’s a very good player,’ Emery told RMC Sport.
Will Umtiti come to the Premier League?
Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in world football and have the same kind of playing style as Barcelona, so signing Umtiti in the summer would mean that he would not have to adjust to the style of play Emery likes to employ at the Emirates.
However, it would have been a massive shock to see him actually depart the Spanish giants at the end of the season.

Over the past 15 years, the composition of development finance has undergone tremendous changes. What was previously dominated by official development assistance (ODA) provided by traditional bilateral and multilateral donors is now far more diverse with remittances, foreign direct investment, and new donors such as China entering the field. However, domestic resources—a developing country’s own taxes and other government revenue—far outweigh all these other sources. Totaling $7.7 trillion in 2012, taxes and other government revenue in developing and emerging economies were more than 60 times greater than net foreign assistance provided in the same year. Even domestic revenues in sub-Saharan Africa were about 10 times larger than foreign assistance.
Of course, this growth has not been even and the commodities super-cycle played a significant role, but it does reflect a growing middle class and improvements in domestic resource mobilization (DRM). Donors, aid recipients, and others have taken notice: at the 2015 Financing for Development conference in Addis Ababa, domestic resources were broadly endorsed as central to paying for the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As part of this agenda, donors launched the Addis Tax Initiative that made three commitments: 1) increase technical cooperation for tax/domestic revenue mobilization; 2) enhance domestic revenue mobilization to spur development; and 3) ensure policy coherence.
Much of this conversation, however, focuses on the gains that can be achieved at the national level with the very real needs of subnational governments ignored. This is understandable given that development is still largely conducted as a government-to-government transaction with bilateral and multilateral donors most comfortable with national-level governments. Indeed, the World Bank’s governance documents require that it seek the permission of the national government before it engages with subnational governments.
This is an opportune time for an increased focus on subnational DRM, especially in countries experiencing increased urbanization. With over half the world’s population living in urban areas for the first time in recorded history, city and municipal governments will be increasingly important. Financing the construction of infrastructure, access to clean water, safe housing, and security will need greater resources delivered in a timely, accountable, and transparent manner. The benefits are similar to those found at the national level: improved delivery of public goods and services will help to strengthen the bond between citizens and government and help to build greater accountability.
This paper is the result of a series of working group meetings convened by CSIS in Brussels and Washington, D.C. These meetings brought together a diverse set of stakeholders drawn from former and current bilateral donors, multilateral donors, development advocates and practitioners, and other policymakers. CSIS sought to identify the unique challenges and opportunities that exist for subnational DRM, and how innovation or technology could be applied to help subnational jurisdictions to raise greater resources. Although the barriers to raising resources at the local level are similar to those at the national level, some of the barriers are unique to the local level. With national revenue authorities responsible for collecting taxes at all levels, relatively little tends to trickle back to municipalities and provinces.
DRM is an increasingly important tool for development finance as ODA flows decrease to least-developed countries.
Taxes in general represent an underutilized resource for the developing world; in 2013, countries in sub-Saharan Africa collected taxes worth 10 times the total ODA for all of Africa.
Local DRM—especially in the rapidly urbanizing developing world—is as important as national-level DRM; financing the growth and success of cities will be key to supporting a growing global population.
Emerging digital technologies provide solutions to subnational DRM questions, but require careful implementation and monitoring to ensure security, suitability for individual regional needs, and sustainability.

Havoc® Smash Tube™ is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cleatus812 from Great Profile, Longer Length Skirt, and Durable I bought the Havoc Smash Tubes a few years back after using competitors just to try because a few of the Colors looked great. These tubes are the best on the market. They are extremely durable and the two tone skirts put them over the top compared to the generic Flake. The slender profile and longer skirt make them easy to pitch flip and even finesse.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Slamnbass24 from Best tube of its Kind! The best go to tube in stores. Ever since i first used this tube, I've never used any other kind. Good for all kinds of Bass, Walleye, and even Pike. It's a great all year round bait and all types of structure. Fish bite this in every scenario. Weather its thick grass or wide open gravel. This tube is perfect for the tackle box. Once you go smash tube, you never go back!
Rated 5 out of 5 by OKCRhoads from Awesome Mike Iaconelli designed. You can drag it on a jighead or pitch and flip it into cover. Either way, the tubes is a proven fish-catcher!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fatfish 949I from Great jig for lake trout I like the flattened out shape to give the jig a gliding action that Lakers love. The dual colors used seals the deal on big fish.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JobyC from Quality Product One more great product in my tackle box to catch multiple species.

There's a great subreddit for these www.reddit.com/r/HFY . My favourite is the Deathworlders/Kevin Jenkins Experience series!
The first book of this series is free, and is humongously HFY.
If I were creating the world I wouldn’t mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o’clock, Day One!
Recently found seven more pages of these so here you go!
These are quite entertaining stories.
And a lot of them are xenofiction - as in being written from the alien PoV. I love stuff like that.
I think my favourite so far is the one where the entirety of Humanity slowly turns itself into Médecins Sans Frontières in some kind of "debt of honour" thing.
And Venus Dragons. That was a fairly "fluffy" read too.
Yeah, I loved that series as well!
How many parts does it has?
LOL!!! Humanity is the biggest, badest, scariest monster anyone can encounter. Poor unsuspecting aliens.
The first part of this appears in one of those story imgs.

Paleo Power Breakfast | Get Inspired Everyday! Paleo Power Breakfast | Get Inspired Everyday!
This breakfast has quickly become a new go-to in our house! It’s the kind of meal that fills you up just right to power through your day, yet it doesn’t bog you down by making you overly full! I’m not usually one for a big breakfast because I don’t feel very good when I eat them – just an overall sluggishness and lack of energy. But… this one is truly a powerhouse – I could eat it before sitting down to hours of desk work or I can eat it and hit the trail for a workout – it’s perfect either way. I don’t know about you, but there aren’t that many foods in the ‘perfect either way’ category for me!
We start off with sweet potatoes (or yams) which are pure energy in a deliciously sweet package, then it’s topped off with over-easy eggs, and crowned with fresh avocado salsa! So… you see what I mean, it’s quite the power package! And I know the word breakfast is right in the title, but don’t let that slow you down, this is dynamite for dinner as well.
For the sweet potatoes, I start by thoroughly scrubbing them and then trimming the ends and any undesirable spots. Next I cut them in half to speed up the roasting time.
So… you might have noticed that my ‘sweet potatoes’ look like yams? Well, I really can’t make heads nor tails out of this confusing situation – the bag of my orange looking so called sweet potatoes came in, said sweet potatoes on the label so I’m going with it. Are they yams, are they sweet potatoes – who knows? Either way this breakfast is dynamite with either one!
Tip: You can roast a huge batch of sweet potatoes and keep the leftovers in the fridge. With the potatoes already roasted, you can assemble this dish in record time!
For the salsa, I like the cilantro roughly chopped with some bigger pieces, but feel free to chop/mince the ingredients to your preferred taste!
The prettiest/nicest looking way to make the salsa is to cut up the tomatoes by hand into quarters. The first time I made this, I was in a bit of a hurry and I threw the tomatoes whole into the blender with the other ingredients already chopped and blended on low to combine. This makes a salsa with a thinner consistency, where chopping the tomatoes by hand takes a few more minutes and has a more pico like texture.
This dish is very simple with just a few ingredients – so it’s extra important that each ingredient is good quality for great taste! Another key flavor element in this dish is the way the sweet potatoes are roasted – I split them in half and roast them face down. This creates a caramelized surface all down the face of the sweet potato – caramelized = awesome flavor!
Preheat the oven to 425ºF, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thoroughly scrub the sweet potatoes or yams and cut off both ends along with any undesirable spots. Cut them in half lengthwise, and place them face down on the parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, make the salsa by combining all the prepped ingredients. Set the salsa aside to let the flavors marinate while the potatoes finish cooking.
When the potatoes are done, turn off the oven and keep them warm while you cook the eggs.
Heat a medium sized skillet over medium heat, and add a small amount of oil for cooking – I used 1 Teaspoon of avocado oil. Add the eggs to the heated pan one at a time, and season with salt and pepper. Place a lid over the skillet for over-easy eggs and cook until the eggs reach your desired doneness. We like our over-easy eggs on the runny side, so the cooking time is usually 2-3 minutes.
Serve the eggs over the warm sweet potatoes and load on the fresh salsa!
I’m going to make this tomorrow morning! Thank you!
I hope you enjoy it! This is my all time favorite breakfast because it’s so delicious and keeps me energized for hours!
If I could have this everyday for breakfast I totally would.. so healthy, so delicious – and a perfect start to the day!
I like to do some prep ahead so it’s easy enough that I can have this on weekdays – like cooking the sweet potatoes and making a bigger batch of salsa, that way I just have to warm it up and cook the eggs!
My oh my Kari, I could have this for brekkie, lunch, dinner or even as a late snack. It looks seriously legit!
This is a great breakfast but I could only prepare this in the Summer. Right now, where I live, avocados and tomatoes are horrendously expensive and not that good-looking! I look forward to preparing it when the prices come down at bit.
Thank you, as always, a great post.
I use jarred salsa anytime the price of fresh produce skyrockets! We’ve been lucky to have avocados at a reasonable price year-round but tomatoes are definitely hit or miss this time of year.
This breakfast looks like an awesome way to start your day ~ packed with both protein and nutrients. But unlike you, I need a lot of calories at breakfast to break the fast so to speak. I recently realized, that on my “best eating days” I eat about 1700 calories at breakfast! Yikes. But I stick with healthy foods like this. It seems to stave off my appetite the rest of the day =) Love all the eye popping color.
