Part of life is learning to deal with stresses. These kids are going to be too cotton wool wrapped to ever deal with the real world.

Yes and no. My kids school really laid on the pressure with Sats for a long time before they even sat them, whereas when I was at school we didn't have them at all. You finished junior school, went to senior school and over time were arranged into groups depending on your ability and then you studied for your O levels. That was pressure enough.Part of life is learning to deal with stresses. These kids are going to be too cotton wool wrapped to ever deal with the real world.
Yeah this. My kid is in Y1 and they've got phonics testing soon and the school is so on it. Sent home booklets, pages to practice, links with 50+ videos to practice (daily), there was even a meeting. It's madness, he's 5.
I agree I think the pressure is ott these days, from a very young age. I also think the exam system seems far more complicated than in my day, based on what my kids have done.
The problem with sats is that unlike GCSE & ALevel there’s no benefit or reward to the individual child. It’s the school that’s getting measured so the teachers are really the ones under pressure and that runs down to the kids and parents. Yes some children will be highlighted as needing extra help from the results as they enter high school but that should be identified way before sitting a sat test.
American TikTok speak making its way into other SM platforms (and this site!!)
- “unalived”, “deleted”, “sewerslide”
- “she/he is a minor” (just say underage/child/kid ffs)
- “seggs”
etc etc

Americanisms do my head in. I still cringe at the word ‘awesome’ and ‘you guys’. I’ve never used either term once
I prefer the Scottish “yous” hahahah
Exactly. We asked why sats were a thing now and were told that it's a measure of the schools performance and hence why they push the kids to do well.

In the North East we'd say "yous lot"...

fgs what is this.
Also why is there an apostrophe in the title and then no apostrophes in the text itself?
It doesn't even need one

Thats mad, mine is Y1 too. They mentioned it at individual Teacher Parent meetings in March, but they also said they've been doing practice tests for a while and they don't anticipate any kids in the entire year group having an issue with it.
Take it straight to the dump fgs. No one is going to want a mauled, filthy sofa!!
Someone has just put on that family page that their sons gf had some money saved up by her Mother but was kicked out at 17 and now her Mother has withdrew the money. So she wants to know if the girl can claim it.
Why put something so private on a public page and there's obviously another side to the story. The girls parents might see it and be mortified if they have genuine reasons for keeping the money from her , it's not anonymous so people will probably work out if they know them. Either way there's no need to air something so private

At least it's free... Someone on our local FB group was trying to sell a washing machine with a rusted door that she said leaked for £50!
Why do they always sound so threatening? Collect ASAP before we tip it. Tip it. Oh and if something needs a clean, clean it before trying to offload it.
Perfect lives.
