How about corporations fuck off? Let us have our own small slice of people own and ran Internet back again.
We sadly allow religious people to hold all sorts of positions.
Belief needs to stop being given respect by society.
How about we ban owning multiple properties, remove any incentives for property as an investment, enforce quality building standards, and use government funds to build affordable housing.
Wow the title really makes it sound like the resistance forces are to blame.
Israeli terrorists are literally attacking the UN and the world's doing nothing about it.
What the absolute fuck? Has anyone else seen this ad play on SBS, how can they advertise for such a piece of shit to spread his brand of hate here.
I've started a community to help learn and practice Irish/Gaeilge. I'm learning myself and would love to meet others who are also trying, or even people who can already speak who'd love to teach or just talk.

This is a useful primer to start thinking about how theories exist within the work we do.
- Developmental
- Socio-cultural
- Socio-behaviourist
- Post-structural
- Critical
These are 5 ways to break down ECE theory. Here’s a brief overview on what they may look like when applied.
Developmental theory focuses on how the child develops, physically and mentally. We focus largely on stages and broad milestones.
Socio-Cultural theory looks at how society affects the growth of a child. What does their family and community impart on them as values.
Socio-behaviourist theory is a focus on stimuli and interactions with environments. We might look at structured routines and positive or negative reinforcement.
Post-Structuralist theory is about challenging our own understandings. What is really best, is eating with cutlery a goal to achieve when at home a child’s household may use their hands more for meals. How do our own cultural values impact a child’s.
Critical theory seeks to challenge our power structures. Are we dictators of children’s development or do we value their input? Should social constructs be enforced or should we challenge them?
What are your views on them? Do you value any over the other, do you incorporate all these things into your practices?
That is 100% what the headline is designed to sound like happened.
I’d be against setting the bar at rape.
Stripping the right at paedophilia makes because there is a legitimate risk to the parents child.
“Simply” rape does not endanger the child, and rape claims have been weaponised before. Not to mention in the UK’s instance legally only men can be guilty of rape.
Add to that the “slippery slope” of if we strip parental rights for a heinous crime, why stop at rape? What about murder? Drunk driving resulting a death? Etc.
Neoliberal governments ain't going to do shit about shit.
Oh shit this isn’t 2003 but a third game? I was wondering why I didn’t remember any vehicles.
I just played ‘99 as that’s all my PC could run.
When you think about it dinner is really breakfast for the late shift.
That makes sense, breakfast food + breakfast food = breakfast.
Why does the tosser egg have some sort of donut shaped cereal in the bowl?
Curious to hear people’s ideas on how education would look in such a world.
For me, I’d like to see it moved away from testing and results based learning.
A stronger focus on physical engagement with things, e.g. learning biology by going out and cataloging wildlife and learning what’s in a local ecosystem before coming together and researching findings and looking for new questions to ask.
Less sitting around at desks being fed information and a greater focus on individual agency in exploring topics of interest.
Not to say there isn’t a time and a place for “high level” stuff where you need to deep dive into books and listen to lectures, but there needs to be a greater balance in methodology.
Got any concerns or questions you'd like to discuss? Share them here and I (we? please join me I'm so lonely) will do our best to answer them.
As the title says it's a community based around early years learning and development, so from birth up to pre-school.
Mainly aimed at educators, teachers, and anyone else who works with these age ranges but more than happy to field questions from parents who may be wanting more information to help them.
It's a bit of a niche community, so I'm going to struggle to grow it but Lemmy needs more industry professional spaces!
Edit: It's a .au domain, but the community is for everyone no matter where you live.

As Educators working with children, it's important to understand each theoretical approach and use parts of different theorists in context. Each theor...
Do you use theory in any of your documentation or planning?
I personally find myself using Parten's model a lot, although I find a lot of the stages can occur differently depending more on a child's personality than their age. But it is useful for thinking about what sort of play the children may be engaging in.
I'm very much against the fully committing to one method, such as you see in Montessori or Steiner schools. Children need a much more holistic approach, using elements from everywhere.
- It's weird
- It's political
- It's recent
- It's Australian, but the title will confuse people
- It's the vibe
I think it'll resonate well with the Lemmy audience, see these instant upvote lyrics:

Feels like I’m seeing more than I have in the past decade this summer, even saw some crickets when I haven’t seen them since I was a kid.
I’m trying to download, archive, and upscale as much older Australian TV content as I can, and would love to see what other people watched or enjoyed so I can try to preserve it as well.
Confronting CCTV has captured a prison guard assaulting a handcuffed, 16-year-old inside a notorious youth jail in Perth.
"You know there's a camera up there?" he told his colleague.
US intelligence indicates that President Xi Jinping’s sweeping military purge came after it emerged that widespread corruption undermined his efforts to modernize the armed forces and raised questions about China’s ability to fight a war, according to people familiar with the assessments.
China missiles filled with water, not fuel: US intelligence. Xi seeking to root out corruption, prepare military for combat.
Recordings of hearings including witness testimony from highly sensitive cases may have been accessed or stolen from Victoria's court system in an attack discovered in the lead-up to the Christmas break.
A spokesperson for Court Services Victoria (CSV) said hackers accessed an area of the court system's audio-visual archive. That would mean recordings of hearings including witness testimony from highly sensitive cases may have been accessed or stolen.
