Yeah I agree. Games are just to de-stress their brains, especially at the end. As long as they are implementing the rules and spirit of the game, you've achieved your goal.

One tip I would give (as a kids sports coach): Instead of starting with every student doing a stand up activity simultaneously, start with nominating one student to do a part of the activity in front of everyone as a demonstration for the others to observe. Once they complete the task, you can give feedback to them or quiz the other students asking what feedback would appropriate.

Then you repeat with another few students until everyone understands what is expected. Once they understand, you set them off to try on their own and place a short time limit on it initially. Five minutes is fine because they need more guidance. Break the task up. Once they are familiar with the exercise structure, you can go longer time and more complex.

Don't expect them to succeed. The point of exercises is to build up slowly from low ability. Give praise for what they got right and make a note of where they can improve.

At 13yo, kids are still learning how to study or apply their knowledge.

The contribution to Australia I remember for Whitlam was making studying at university free. The federal government would much later bring uni fees back though.

I enjoy most genres but I am in a bluegrass phase : Chinese bluegrass

There's an 8 part series of articles summarising the book, The Unknown Cultural Revolution: Life and Change in a Chinese Village by Dongping Han.

This is part 8 conclusion but it has links to the first 7 parts at the end.

The main reasoning for CR was to implement rural reform. 82% of China was rural and still poor, uneducated, with no healthcare at all by the 1960's. To enjoy traditional Chinese culture back then you had to be the top 1% of the URBAN population.

The CR brought practical education to the real masses way before Deng reforms of 1978. Sending city folk to work in rural villages taught those villages how to read.

Too often a country's rural people - who feed the nation - are overlooked and devalued. They were the under class in China. CR was about removing that class barrier.

You see when the American colonies declared independence in 1776, Britain's source of agricultural goods started to dry up. They needed a replacement colony because they were losing the American Revolutionary War hence the invasion of Australia started in 1788. Since slavery was abolished, they had to use prisoners as their cheap labour force.

Fellow Australian here. Australian politics is a shitshow. AUKUS is just the most visible (and expensive) cringe element at the moment.

People living with disabilities use their phone to help them find and access services which they need. Paying bills, getting cash at the bank, etc all previously required physically queuing up.

Yes - not all modernization and tech "advancement" has improved people's lives. Postmodernism is a side effect of a capitalist system. Communication has become a commodity to be consumed.

Unfortunately we haven't yet created a Linux-like philosophy that applies to mobile phones. With Unix, you use files or file handles to interface between command line tools. You incorporate the tools together in scripts to create more complex applications. How that philosophy can be transformed into a mobile device? I'm not sure.

Tech needs creative people to build things that help others live better rather than screw their life up.

Agree. This is why I dropped this show but stuck it out with Picard and SNW. There's too much hacky writing in Discovery that doesn't fix the logic issues I had and adds more issues.

In this case why make that change from Saru in the first place?

I struggled through 2 seasons thinking the 2nd season would address the problems of the first one. It didn't so I gave up soon after that.

There's actually a glut of content in China due to all the streaming companies - more than anyone can consume. If people can't find it, they weren't really looking.
