The late German-born physicist Albert Einstein believed that science without religion was lame, and religion without science was blind. But the debate over whether science and religion can co-exist has been going on since the dawn of mankind and continues to divide opinion even today, as INCH discov... Read more

According to this, it may be wise to continue with normal learning so we don’t rely on our future masters too soon. Being human is fun, we don’t want that being taken away from us, especially with creativity and knowledge. No?
“What you are going to have are six people in a Mars mission. Are you really going to have all the different skills that are needed within the crew?
Well, we want to have one person with medical skills, one who is a biological researcher, one who is a field geologist, one who is good at fixing electronics, and one who is good at fixing the plumbing.
But how about a welder? There are thousands of skills that are necessary to make a civilization, and you cannot put them all in six people.
With artificial intelligence, a person can have hundreds of skills because artificial intelligence equips him or her to do all sorts of things instead of just a few things.

“And beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, things that the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven” (Deuteronomy 4:19).

why not both? and both together? Read the article I have linked to, it states that… “The Bible indicates in several places that the universe has been “stretched out” or expanded. For example, Isaiah 40:22 teaches that God stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. This would suggest that the universe has actually increased in size since its creation. God is stretching it out, causing it to expand.”
The Lord certainly understands how this universe works; after all, He made it. So His Word, the Bible, gives us the foundation for understanding the universe.

Summer reading—done at school? A growing number of districts are experimenting with keeping school libraries open, with entire collections available, through the vacation season.
in the UK, there has been talk of click-and-collect services during covid, not sure if it actually happened anywhere but if it did, there is no reason why they can’t do the same during summer holidays and term breaks. This is an online resource for those who see libraries as a essential resource, rather than a cheeky way to take the money and refuse to provide the service we paid for.

There’s this, but yep, an app your uni recommends would allow all colleges and unis to offer the service to students. The costs of new books are silly tbh and you only use them once, if at all.
Top websites for students to buy and sell textbooks - Study International
One way students can save money each semester is to sell old textbooks and buy older copies of new ones, instead of buying them brand new. Textbooks are A list of established and convenient websites for buying and selling textbooks.
Newcastle Uni has a programme for this, but there should be a site or app where you just list your course and it finds the cheapest version of each second-hand book you will need.
Newcastle University Students’ Union, home to over 28,000 students, offers a wide range of services that provide exciting activities, great representation and fun social, volunteering and welfare opportunities to really get excited about.

He is totally on the ball too. Saw this a while back and realised how he inspired a generation. Yes, give him an award and let him choose who should also get one. Brilliant. We will miss him one day.
Wow, just google’d him and he was on numberphile recently. Still going strong, what’s wrong with the BBC? They nailed it, he should have been the David Attenborough or Patrick Moore of maths. Someone remind the Queen he is still waiting for his knighthood.

Great idea, there are so many ways to learn now the information revolution has taken off. Most would be on YouTube or the BBC. I guess school teachers would agree. The Pearson awards should consider this.
Elitist sites would be similar to how education was only for those of proper breeding. Not a nice idea. But it does raise the question on what you consider educated, after all Trump was educated at a very good school. Chuckle.

Agreed, likely possible and likely profitable, but reminds me of what Miles says on YouTube on how AI will be distributed and exploited by people and corporations. This is a very interesting field at the moment. Sites like ideamill would be a great place for AI to consume and spit out in different formats.
It already exists Khan Academy, only those parents need to understand what they don’t understand first – and that often uncovers huge gaps in their knowledge – something the kids can identify better than the well-meaning parents. Some good resources are here, but use them wisely, kids usually benefit from many different teachers with different skills, making your kid rely on just your skillset is going to put them at a disadvantage for sure.
The nationwide effort to reduce bullying in U.S. schools can be regarded as part of larger civil and human rights movements that have provided children with many of the rights afforded to adults.
Put some of the things together that AI can already do, and you have a tool that can recognise anything, tell you what it is, tell you how it relates to other things and even tell you how it differs from other things. I guess someone needs to put this together, it would be a basic use of AI just as search is for the internet. Rob Miles or someone who is a great explainer of AI should come on here and tell us why it hasn’t been done already, maybe we are missing something, or its just not been turned into a viable app that sells.
13 Mind-Blowing Things Artificial Intelligence Can Already Do Today
Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining ground in our everyday lives, but some of the specific skills it can do might still be a surprise. It is intriguing to consider the power of a machine who could do all these things. Here are 13 mind-blowing things AI can already do today.
Facebook’s AI can identify things you sell, so I guess there is no reason why it can’t “learn” how to categorise them using human concepts and display the results as a 3d representation that lets you click from one to another and let you learn as you go.
Facebook’s new AI tool will automatically identify items you put up for sale

Yeah if anyone knows a site that just lists categorised problems with the biggest first, add the link. Biology has lots to answer, starting with the life universe and everything else.
Always wondered why the world didn’t simply list unsolved problems somewhere. Universities should have a poster in each departments lecture hall and toilets, listing that subject’s 10 top problems to solve to remind students to think big. Here’s Wikipedia’s list of unsolved problems in different subjects.
Best way to get started is to create a business before you leave school. Lots of business minded families make sure their children know this is an option. I think the effort would be wasted on many children who would be better off learning how to read and write better before anything else. May be wrong though.

Can it actually be taught though? I would have thought its more about how they think and motivate themselves, and of course they need a passion – something not all kids have tbh.
There are summer schools you can send your kids to- here’s a link – because you are not likely to get that type of information in a state school in the UK. Nice idea though, I wish they did it, I am a business owner and my kids get educated how to be subordinate workers for others. shame.

Asians have taken to this idea because they have huge classes, strict dicipline and education really matters to the future of the entire family.

Check this out! Washington, D.C., is rolling out a free degree program for social workers.
https://dcist.com/story/23/11/08/dc-council-passes-bill-free-msw-program-udc/
Why not offer free college degrees to students on condition that they work in the public sector after graduating?
Affordable degrees can help solve the worsening public service workforce shortage crisis.
Dangerous in the hands of the number crunchers – they sound pretty lethal if they don’t get their own way.
Ahh, its from a Veritasium video. I see now. Great idea btw.
if doing duels, mathmen should use these tools
Both – obviously or we wouldn’t be having this debate over the simplest of ideas.
ahh, nope.
Good point, and not just human/ai also standalone ai spacecraft that host us on our journey of discovery.
Chatbots could work out what you need to learn next, then teach you. Maybe we can all be geniuses one day, with a little clever coaching?

(4 upvotes)According to this, it may be wise to continue with normal learning so we don’t rely on our future masters too soon. Being human is fun, we don’t want that being taken away from us, especially with creativity and knowledge. No?
Especially for astronauts and future explorers….
“What you are going to have are six people in a Mars mission. Are you really going to have all the different skills that are needed within the crew?
Well, we want to have one person with medical skills, one who is a biological researcher, one who is a field geologist, one who is good at fixing electronics, and one who is good at fixing the plumbing.
But how about a welder? There are thousands of skills that are necessary to make a civilization, and you cannot put them all in six people.
With artificial intelligence, a person can have hundreds of skills because artificial intelligence equips him or her to do all sorts of things instead of just a few things.
I think this is going to be extremely useful for both Mars explorers and for Mars settlers.” DR Zubrin

Not only should #sexed be offered as a core subject, but we should pass laws enshrining it as a human right.
Well, this might be tricky, especially given that many parents are opposed to sex education!
https://www.bbc.com/news/education-13292133
Inadequate sex education is to blame for early pregnancies and a high prevalence of STDs. It’s high time schools started offering it as a core subject.
Print textbooks should be banned everywhere! Paper production is one of the greatest threats to the environment.
Why are schools still using textbooks in this age when they can easily access limited digital learning resources?
https://kitaboo.com/importance-of-ebooks-in-education/
Given that textbooks become outdated every other few years, they are a waste of money and should be completely removed from classrooms!
It is encouraging that some politicians care about education and have stellar academic qualifications!
https://www.studyinternational.com/news/world-leaders-and-their-education/
Don’t be surprised if some politicians started procuring fake degrees if such a requirement was introduced.
Trusting public resources to leaders with no academic qualifications is like handing the keys of a Ferrari to a child!
We should also be teaching this to high school and middle school kids!
https://www.arthurmorganschool.org/teaching-blacksmithing-to-middle-schoolers/
You can find some universities and special schools that offer blacksmithing courses.

Agree! This is a great way to teach students about events that shaped history.
It’s not just consumers who are exploited; most businesses and companies also take advantage of their workers, which needs to stop.
No one is safe from exploitation, even grieving loved ones! This is so disgusting!
https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2022/04/cremation-companies-exploit-grieving-consumers-alleges-ftc
Ending consumer exploitation will be a challenging task, especially given the rise of the data economy.
Consumer intelligence should be taught to students in schools to stop them from being exploited once they enter the real world!

I guess we can say goodbye to physical learning. Will we even need schools in the future?
Green school programs might be the only hope of preventing future environmental crises.
There are several eco-school programs around the world aimed at teaching kids how to care for the environment.
Environmental education can be more effective at tackling pollution by preventing it in the first place.

Here’s another cool VR game for learning languages!
Wow, this is amazing! Thanks to VR, you can travel the world and learn new languages with native speakers right from your living room!
Immersion is one of the best strategies for learning new languages, and other than real-life immersion, VR gaming is the next best thing.
As long as the process is fun and engaging, why not?
While learning to code early can be beneficial, it is a mentally draining experience, which can put too much pressure on children.
https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/12/against-teaching-kids-to-code-creativity-problem-solving.html
Actually, Alexa has a function you can use to teach your kids how to say “please” and “thank you”
We should make it a rule for every interactive technology. Showing gratitude is quickly becoming a lost art!
https://waingergroup.com/is-saying-thank-you-a-lost-art/
An excellent idea. We should all be like this nan, who Google praised for using “please” and ‘thank you” in her search query!
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jun/16/grandmother-nan-google-praises-search-thank-you-manners-polite
How about an immersive experience of the American civil war?
Wow! You can even control the narrative and make choices in some VR documentaries. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/jun/15/virtual-reality-vr-film-making-documentaries-face-to-face-sheffield-docfest
VR is revolutionizing documentaries! Film-makers can now make people emotionally invested in the stories they are telling.
A way to experience some of the horrors of the world first-hand!
VR is the perfect way to make documentaries more engaging
Treatment or medicine, its still just a scam https://www.medpagetoday.com/primarycare/alternativemedicine/66316
It isn’t called alternative or even alternate medicine, it is an alternative to medicine, so it is correctly called complimentary medicine. It may or may not help, but it still gets the name medicine, urr, somehow.
You can make this beautiful version at instructables.
zillions of options have been suggested. it likely won’t change though. Its; just wrong and likely will be forever. Just to confuse students.
This, but it looks like that “is it a rabbit or a duck” puzzle.
A more useful periodic table
(3 upvotes)The periodic table isn’t a table, it wraps around itself
(2 upvotes)I’ve always wondered what it would look like if each square’s area was proportional to the element’s abundance on Earth, or the Cosmos. I am linking to this as although it isn’t it, it does give it a modern day twist.
This is cool, I made one at college once, and wished you could buy them as they are great. A magnetic one that you could assemble and disassemble would be a great gift too.
This?
There should be more awards for good behaviour or achievements. I like the sound of these awards as they seem to be quite humble and its good that businesses pay for them as they reap the best rewards from a talented youth.
“Break some rules” – whilst being the Governor of California – he is a star though. Or at least not the WORST Austrian.
…and there should be an award for showing great humility when it would be easier to hate people. Presented by the great man himself.
Nobody is perfect, according to this article “It emerged a week later that Schwarzenegger had fathered a lovechild with an employee in the couple’s household 14 years earlier.”
I agree, but I just found this. Looks like a good project for a kid, if they get advice about the lurgy while making their toy.
Anyone remember these little guys?
WANT!
These are sooooo expensive for a ball of fluff.
These?

Just dropping this here as Lucid makes it very clear, as usual.
It’s the most suitable word IMO. It resembles the meaning of spin people already understand. From this article “”Spin is the total angular momentum, or intrinsic angular momentum, of a body. The spins of elementary particles are analogous to the spins of macroscopic bodies.”
It would be cool if electrons spun like these guys though.
And here is the recipe!
You can get the shirt. Like!
I didn’t realise we were 90% oxygen, carbon and hydrogen. So yeah, I like the idea of introducing kids to chemistry by telling them that is what they are made of.
…and on amazon
Teachers need it more than most. Misinformation spreads when not being checked. Read this https://epi.org.uk/publications-and-research/effects-high-quality-professional-development/
It is important in some jobs as it benefits the employer and employee, but does a binman or factory worker need it? No.
Linking to this as it misses the point that it can just be a skive from lots of jobs. Who wouldn’t take a day out of work to learn stuff they could learn themselves if they gave a monkeys?
heh. i would buy stocks for my child for sure.
This might be big. buy stock in people!
Sounds like “human capital” read this….
Using its proprietary “pricing engine,” Upstart lets you invest $20,000 for every one percent of future income you are willing to give up.
Yes in an ideal world this is a good idea I think. However, teachers choose the grade they are most comfortable with. Which kind of makes sense.
btw, teachers do get moved around. Just not for the right reasons…
GREAT TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS THIS IS A GOOD IDEA – FIINALLY. Read this article https://www.chalkbeat.org/2018/3/21/21104540/elementary-school-teachers-sometimes-follow-a-class-of-students-from-year-to-year-new-research-sugge
This?
Video is here btw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn7IhFswv90&t=9s
I just hope it isn’t a nearby one.
Never happened. But I guess one is due soon. “For the first time, astronomers have found convincing evidence for a new type of supernova – a new sort of stellar explosion – powered by electron capture. They announced their discovery in late June 2021.”
I would put ten bucks on Kepler’s birthday in 2022. Someone should make a full cosmic prediction/betting site for it.
Look at this though, in the UK after school clubs are seen as cheap childcare, rather than extra school activities. Shame, they could be so much more.
Great idea. There are countless locals who know crafts and subjects and would only need a slot and a bit of help from a teacher to inspire new generations with old skills and activities. Setting up a club looks difficult though according to this link. Schools should join a scheme to attract volunteer teachers for one-off classes.
These take it to another level. amazing.
AND FRUIT!!!
Nice idea, it wouldn’t take an expert either, just show them this video and watch what they make.
Agreed, some rich patron should consolidate all these sites into a single resource hub. It would save students and scholars a lot of wasted time.
I like this idea better, just do it yourself. https://www.getawaytoday.com/travel-blog/create-your-own-super-hero-training-camp
I like the idea of paramedic camps, not so much those that turn normal kids into cops though. Why? Same as the existing problem of recruiting cops, it attracts exactly the wrong type of person we need.
hmmm, even if it is just used as a marketing campaign to show their diversity efforts? This looks suss.
Junior Police Ace does this already. not sure if it is a good idea.
“And beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, things that the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven” (Deuteronomy 4:19).
That’s quite a battle to fight. You could just teach your kids online. Loads of courses out there already.
why not both? and both together? Read the article I have linked to, it states that… “The Bible indicates in several places that the universe has been “stretched out” or expanded. For example, Isaiah 40:22 teaches that God stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. This would suggest that the universe has actually increased in size since its creation. God is stretching it out, causing it to expand.”
The “Robin Hood of Science” continues to provide 60+ million scientific papers to anyone in the world for free at https://sci-hub.tw
if its for quantum physics demonstrations, you could have perpetual motion machines, probably. at least until it heats up and dies, like everything else 😉
like this idea. some sort of logic gate run for small balls.
Gove on his-story… ““There may, for all I know, be rival Whig and Marxist schools fighting a war of interpretation in chemistry or food technology, but their partisans don’t tend to command much column space in the broadsheets”.” https://www.economist.com/britain/2020/07/02/changing-history-teaching
I like this tip – “One Step at a Time: From Family History to Your Country’s Founding” and progress from there.
Some schools in New Zeland do this, not sure why they don’t do it elsewhere seeing as their goal is to improve litracy.
in the UK, there has been talk of click-and-collect services during covid, not sure if it actually happened anywhere but if it did, there is no reason why they can’t do the same during summer holidays and term breaks. This is an online resource for those who see libraries as a essential resource, rather than a cheeky way to take the money and refuse to provide the service we paid for.
MIT are doing their bit too. Needs Bill Gates and that Bezoz to get on board and start dishing our incentives to make the world better, gawd knows they have it good and know they should be helping more, this would be a good way to do it. Don’t expect governments or regular businesses to put the money up.
£50k has been put up to solve city problems by the surveyors in the UK there should be a single site that lists all the individual contests that each industry is putting a prize up for.
Don’t think 2021 will have a contest, so it is time others took the lead from the example and set them up for all the different things we need. like curing nasty viruses etc.
Challenge Prizes sounds like another good way to get more clever minds focussing on the problems of today.
Think Elon would be pleased others are taking the challenge on board. It’s a great idea. so is having similar contests for other things.
Weird, now the bearded Virgin overlord is going for a hyperloop now that he is having trouble getting his. already paid, customers to space.
There’s this, but yep, an app your uni recommends would allow all colleges and unis to offer the service to students. The costs of new books are silly tbh and you only use them once, if at all.
Newcastle Uni has a programme for this, but there should be a site or app where you just list your course and it finds the cheapest version of each second-hand book you will need.
Maybe don’t even bother with actual artefacts and exhibits just have virtual environments and activities. This place looks amazing and not boringly stuck to historic stuff. We need museums of the future and this is maybe how we could do it(?)
Can’t wait till this idea gets spread around and realised everywhere. Especially as they can be animated not just static artefacts.
TREX would look realistic like this video, you don’t need old bones anymore.
MIT already get paid holidays but they deserve a mention too. Everyone should just donate to these youtuber’s patrion if they value the free education they are getting.
They should be rewarded some way or another for sure. Do a lot of the work teachers used to do. You missed TedED though, which needs recognition too.
Maybe better would be to just reduce all the free paid time off teachers get. They even complain that people don’t think its fair. Very odd.
Especially John and Hank from the SciShow. They deserve a break after all they have taught my kids. I recommend them and encourage others to donate to their Patreon.

(11 upvotes)He is totally on the ball too. Saw this a while back and realised how he inspired a generation. Yes, give him an award and let him choose who should also get one. Brilliant. We will miss him one day.
Wow, just google’d him and he was on numberphile recently. Still going strong, what’s wrong with the BBC? They nailed it, he should have been the David Attenborough or Patrick Moore of maths. Someone remind the Queen he is still waiting for his knighthood.
SEAN CARROLL would win for his biggest ideas in the universe series he did during lockdown whilst his hair grew out of control. What a guy and what a great thing to do for people while he could have relaxed like many other professors did. Bless this man with more awards and a stack of money from Larry and Sergey’s lucky project.
Here is a link to the Inquisitive Fellowship video.
The irony is that educators like VSauce are actually dishing out the awards to others. Rather than receiving resources and funds from governments and educational charities. The world is changing folks. Learning has never been so much fun.
Agreed, I nominate Real Engineering.
Any organisation that gets a diamond award for educational videos should be knighted by Google.
This?
Looks like you have to be associated with a school or college to be what they call a teacher, which is a bit odd.
Khan Academy deserves government funding. Such a noble cause this guy has taken to the limits.
Great idea, there are so many ways to learn now the information revolution has taken off. Most would be on YouTube or the BBC. I guess school teachers would agree. The Pearson awards should consider this.
Elitist sites would be similar to how education was only for those of proper breeding. Not a nice idea. But it does raise the question on what you consider educated, after all Trump was educated at a very good school. Chuckle.
Sites could have countless “locks” on them, to give express privilidge to those the owner wants to give more too. I mean, this site is only for Toffs, that went to private (paying) schools. Should be called a pleb redirect.
And get these thickos off social media too. I mean, Trumpeters calling conspiracy because they don’t realise the difference between Georgia the state and Georgia the country. So funny. Get out.
lol, great idea, similar to how Beautiful People only allows attractive people into its dating site – add a couple of questions and shave the less educated off your viewership. Cruel and exclusive but might be an incentive.
Agreed, likely possible and likely profitable, but reminds me of what Miles says on YouTube on how AI will be distributed and exploited by people and corporations. This is a very interesting field at the moment. Sites like ideamill would be a great place for AI to consume and spit out in different formats.
Careful now, most cops weren’t the victims of bullying – know why that is right…
It already exists Khan Academy, only those parents need to understand what they don’t understand first – and that often uncovers huge gaps in their knowledge – something the kids can identify better than the well-meaning parents. Some good resources are here, but use them wisely, kids usually benefit from many different teachers with different skills, making your kid rely on just your skillset is going to put them at a disadvantage for sure.
The ScienceShow videos are perfect for this. Donate to them if you want or just teach your kids with their content for free.

In the states, these crimes are being tackled by initiatives that confuse crime with civil rights. It’s crime.
Violence and theft are crimes, why the police wait until nasty kids turn into murderers is anyone’s guess.
Put some of the things together that AI can already do, and you have a tool that can recognise anything, tell you what it is, tell you how it relates to other things and even tell you how it differs from other things. I guess someone needs to put this together, it would be a basic use of AI just as search is for the internet. Rob Miles or someone who is a great explainer of AI should come on here and tell us why it hasn’t been done already, maybe we are missing something, or its just not been turned into a viable app that sells.
Facebook’s AI can identify things you sell, so I guess there is no reason why it can’t “learn” how to categorise them using human concepts and display the results as a 3d representation that lets you click from one to another and let you learn as you go.
I guess it’s just a matter of time until something like this exists. I read here https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/how-algorithm-creates-unlikely-pairings-classic-art-180975529/#:~:text=Using%20machine%20learning%20and%20an,different%20cultures%2C%20artists%20and%20mediums. that “MosAIc focuses specifically on objects housed in the collections of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Rijksmuseum. Using machine learning and an image-retrieval system, the A.I. can spot connections between works from different cultures, artists and mediums.”
Would love something like this. sort of Wikipedia, sort of a mindmap tool, let people populate it with concepts and have Artificial Intelligence connect them where there are commonalities. Ie they re both forms of life, or they are both vehicles or they are both ideas humans have had, etc etc.
Hey thought2 here…… well said Aaron
I can recommend the book by John Vacca that came out a while back, but it lacks biology and chemistry problems to some extent. A website would serve as an online bank.
Yeah if anyone knows a site that just lists categorised problems with the biggest first, add the link. Biology has lots to answer, starting with the life universe and everything else.
Always wondered why the world didn’t simply list unsolved problems somewhere. Universities should have a poster in each departments lecture hall and toilets, listing that subject’s 10 top problems to solve to remind students to think big. Here’s Wikipedia’s list of unsolved problems in different subjects.
Best way to get started is to create a business before you leave school. Lots of business minded families make sure their children know this is an option. I think the effort would be wasted on many children who would be better off learning how to read and write better before anything else. May be wrong though.
Can it actually be taught though? I would have thought its more about how they think and motivate themselves, and of course they need a passion – something not all kids have tbh.
There are summer schools you can send your kids to- here’s a link – because you are not likely to get that type of information in a state school in the UK. Nice idea though, I wish they did it, I am a business owner and my kids get educated how to be subordinate workers for others. shame.
Teachers need to up their game – like anybody who could be replaced by an AI or bot. time to get smart, or enjoy the cushy job you currently have, Times are a changing.
Asians have taken to this idea because they have huge classes, strict dicipline and education really matters to the future of the entire family. Not here though… “Mr Steed said he did not think the developments would catch on in UK schools in the short-term, claiming the nation was too wedded to the traditional concept of a teacher standing in front of a class.”
This WILL happen, simply because you can train them so fast and pay them ziltch.
Could incorporate google maps too, so folk playing it get out of the house.
Simple activity for teachers to do in the class, no need for an app.
Yeah, looks like this idea should be taken onto an app – looks like the idea lived and died on websites already.
Probably not a trick or conspiracy but it hides the truth somewhat. Plenty of ways to do that with clever use of words. And as words provide the narrative, handy way to manipulate other people’s mines.
https://lifelessons.co/critical-thinking/kafkatrapping/
True but the jury is still out on if we are damaging enough of it fast enough.
in the uk you can hire entire schools – even exclusive ones, so I guess the elite are already doing so.
Ahh, man, just googled it and you can actually use their facilities all over the UK. Clubs should know about this – why don’t the schools advertise it to parents?
Would be hard to distinguish some schools from cults looking at the zombies they churn out around the country.
“We know how kids learn; we know what classes should look like, and yet our classes look almost the opposite,”
Bullying is an everyday occurrence for school kids – they think its normal and don’t realise we as adults won’t put up with it. Schools are to blame, though they have a tricky job fixing the problem without school police.
Or take them out of the program already
Little about it on the web tbh – but…”Humans are the only primates that make music. But the evolutionary origins and functions of music are…”
Like this idea, and thought about it myself with our boy. Couldn’t find anything on the web about kids doing the audio track for their games but it is a thing, and a good thing too… https://www.brighthorizons.com/family-resources/music-and-children-rhythm-meets-child-development#:~:text=Music%20ignites%20all%20areas%20of,and%20the%20mind%20work%20together.&text=Dancing%20to%20music%20helps%20children,them%20to%20practice%20self%2Dexpression.
surf studies – in the uk, i ask you…
Tony Blair’s target of half our citizens should go to uni is to blame for some of this mess.
NO WAY! “David Beckham studies – Staffordshire University, UK”
Would love this – anyways here is a good one to start with, by Chuck D himself.
Used to listen to these but they stopped posting them, not sure why – Google doesn’t mind pinching content to go beside its ads.
“How do we know that in 1945 the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan? Because of details and facts from all three forms of testimony.”
lol, it wouldn’t be much of a read, with like 20 pages “Most statements by religious people boil down to ipse dixit assertions. “Jesus was resurrected because three women saw him.”
From a Quora user… “If the book of Genesis were written today, it might be written pretty much as it is now. Genesis is not now, nor ever has been, a history textbook. It was never intended as such, and quite frankly, anyone who ever took it as such had some of the poorest critical reading skills ever.”
A bigger worry is that they end up with a complex about money or miss out due to the pressure of saving for some far off future. There are 2 sides to every story but its sure true that we are messing with their heads, without realising it.
lots of tips here but don’t influence them too early, money worries are bad enough for adults
Bless ST Johns – saving lives and now they are teaching our kids how to do the stuff we should have learned ourselves. Bravo.
Finally- this is a thing in the UK “Trials of first aid lessons in English schools begin this month, with the classes becoming compulsory from 2020.
A total of 1,600 schools from around the country are taking part.”
Tracing an invention…pdf https://www.robinskaplan.com/-/media/pdfs/finding-and-tracing-an-invention-s-footprint.pdf
I would love this. Darwin didn’t invent evolution, who came up with it first. Spacetime was being discussed before Einstein too. Currently, you have to use Google Scholar to trace back an idea or invention.
Can’t find anything like it online, but there is this map of places things were invented.
Reclaim the land – “Last week I discovered illegal quarrying in part of the River Honddu in Wales. Had I not been trespassing, I would not have seen it and had it stopped. Criminalising trespass would put free-range people outside the law, and landowners above the law.”
Isn’t a great idea sometimes… https://ramblersyorkshire.org/true-right-roam-may-not-good-idea/
It came from a simple idea – In the year 2000, following a long-running campaign led by the Ramblers, walkers won a ‘right to roam’ over wild, open countryside in England and Wales. … Winning this right remains one of the most significant milestones in Ramblers’ history.
This is a good place to start… ideas nobody believed… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_zFyXWxxMA
Google do more for education that some governments. Glad they bought YouTube now. Bravo!
Won’t replace school, will be a handy tool.
Yes and will it eventually replace Universities?
Weirdly one affects the other, you can’t go to school if you died.
Unfortunately this is still just an idea/dream for many “2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water services. (WHO/UNICEF 2019)”
Poor kids, they already get this green crap rammed down their throats. It may be used to bias them politically.
Ignorance is no longer an excuse. Schools should do this just in case parents don’t.
Early days, but its starting to happen, finally.
Nice idea, could be built into responsibility lessons taught at schools. Our kid’s school sent us this video, which is a step in the right direction.
The rest of the world could learn a thing or two from the UK here. It teaches kids about voting and what people do to try to sway your opinion.
Having a right to affect your own life is laid out by law – which is why many schools have councils. They are a great thing and should be universal.
You could do it at home as a game. Watch this…
Wow, check these kids out – thank god some people have pro-active parents that are interested in their kids.
Can’t believe schools don’t test for this already. People need to know if their child is gifted. More discussion here https://forums.abrsm.org/?showtopic=22672#:~:text=If%20a%20child%20learns%20music,referring%20to%20any%20other%20tone.
“If a child learns music faster than others, then he/she may have perfect pitch. It means he/she can recognise the tones correctly and immediately, like when he/she sees a number or colour. He/she may even be able to sing any tone (e.g. F# in 2nd octave) immediately without referring to any other tone.”
Thoughts from quora, but will lazy parents “home ed” their kids? Or college students skiving and failing?
Here’s a list of the best channels to educate yourself with. Most are epic.
There is nothing but fields. Maybe …. Carrol is the best guy to explain this
Not sure if the OP of this idea understands the ins and outs of field theory and how quantum events can pop up out of non quantised fluctuations in the 19 or so fields we think we have discovered, but this video is a great introduction.
never thought about it before but yep, if it wrapped round from one side to the other, you could easily see that they just build up and up with atomic mass.
You are not alone with this idea. it needs work for sure…
A more useful periodic table
(3 upvotes)The periodic table isn’t a table, it wraps around itself
(2 upvotes)and there’s this too – where will it end, is it gonna eat it for you too?
These refrigerators can suggest meals to make, but don’t yet have the ability to cross-reference what ingredients are in the food from qr codes or barcodes, the time is coming though.
Someone made a replica of one of those Dove satellites already. but kits would be good if you could get small cameras and sensors inside the thing.
I remember reading about this ages ago and found the article, not sure if it did actually fly though, anyone know?
See this weird thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHYBgFROYhg
You can hire them, ideal for a kids party if you have the software to use games.
There are loads of uses for these, I can’t wait to hear what people use them for. Local guy…
Dr Diego Martinez Plasencia, a Lecturer in the Interact Lab at the University of Sussex’s School of Engineering and Informatics, said: “This has the potential to enable new forms of interaction and collaboration with computers, liberating users from fixed, static screens and opening up whole new interactive spaces.
Yeah, they are a good idea. We have something similar to this jar – so it can age with the children – once they think piggys are for kids.
Would be good if you could just select which chemical to add next and see what comes of it.
Choose your own adventure will be huge once augmented reality kicks in. you can already do it on some Netflix shows, such as black mirror, check it out.
Already exists, check out Rock Check. dunno if its any good though as unsure how it can tell just from a picture and some facts.
Would be good for archeologists and the like, though the article doesn’t link to them. Anyone found an app that does this already?
Heres the vid how to do it, and links to the plugins for multiple browsers – should just be in Youtube though, so I can do it on my other devices easily.
Yes! needed, but you can do it with this plugin in chrome now,
think they used to have this but never brought it back after scrapping it, its a shame i want to just browse through my fave music one day, then science the next, then funny stuff the day after, but its all jumbled up in youtube now. Not like they don’t know thats how every other broadcaster allows people to categoriese their viewing.
Could be done with html / javascript then uploaded onto a site that lets people create their own charts and connect them together – it sounds like a good way to delve deeper into any subject, I like it, lots of applications, from chemistry and physics to economics and politics.
URRR, IF YOU COULD DO GCSE IN AN HOUR OR TWO NOBODY WOULD NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL. Watch and learn (a tiny bit of maths)
Crazy, they think you can learn a 2 year course in a day! If they did this, it would need regulating for sure.
Infogram should make them so you click a segment of the pie and it takes you to another full pie. That would do the trick.
YouTube makes a thing of encouraging people to put life’s lessons online. Such a good source of information and entertainment, even if it tends to breed hate comments.
Great idea, I haven’t found a good free one that covers animals and plants, but there are a few options out there already.
Some good suggestions here too
This is opening up a whole new field. Imagine if 1 app diagnoses you and an AI creates an app that helps your specific needs, for people of all frames of mind. COULD BE BIG ONE DAY”
All 3 of these could come in useful for those who need mental excersize, nice video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj3yCKdrctE
