This. The English language KS2 curriculum is ridiculous. Kids struggle to write creatively because they are forced into using ridiculous quotas of fronted adverbials and the like. At that age, focus on spelling and general grammar is all they need.. and inspiration!
Anyone struggling with homeschooling should know that, despite having a PhD in Literature and having published 12 books, I only learned what a fronted adverbial was when my 8 year old's teacher said he doesn't use enough of them in his written work.

Never change, Sheffield ♥️
My wheelchair broke last week in the pissing rain! My neighbours 14 year old son saw me & dropped everything (literally!) to help. He pushed all 100kg of me & chair home. Posted him a tenner through the letterbox the next day. He’s just knocked on my door with these 😢😩🌷

Consider the Baobab trees of Madagascar.

What an amazing positive story. 👏🏽👏🏽
When he was younger, Declan Thompson spent years in a wheelchair after being diagnosed with Perthes Disease… A career as a professional footballer seemed nothing but a dream. Today, aged 18, he makes his #SWFC debut in the #FACup. Remarkable.

I was at Amzn in 2000 when the internet bubble popped. Capital markets dried up & we were burning $1B/yr. Our biggest expense was datacenter -> expensive Sun servers. We spent a year ripping out Sun & replacing with HP/Linux, which formed the foundation for AWS. The backstory:
Boss: Where did you get this code? Me: Stack Overflow Boss: From the questions or the answers?
