    Absolutely fantastic poster outlining cognitive biases. This should be compulsory to study before studying anything else. Or registering on Twitter. Or reading anything. Pls RT

    This is absurd. The vast majority of children can sit an exam with others, and the main reason why so many now think that we can't is because we tell them they can't. Adults need to teach children that they *can* cope, because when we don't, we create children who believe they

    Shout out to all the PE teachers going into school wearing shorts in January, -as God intended you to do- even when you have no games or activities. This is what you trained for. Hold the line. Long trousers make you weak.
