There’s not a parent amongst us who doesn’t want their child to do well. Them doing well gives them more options. It will raise their self-esteem and confidence. And often, from our point of view, it’s what we know they are truly capable of…. But is there a danger at some point do we become more invested in them reaching these arbitrary exam-driven goals on their behalf and lose sight of who they are actually for? Is there a risk that we begin to feel responsible for their achievements? This week's

С Новым Годом, друзья! 🎄Как мы не пытались, прошлый выпуск про NFT все равно был переполнен непонятным словами...биткоин, эфир, бинанс (не путать с биханс), альта, майнинг...бррр, хоть словарь открывай. Поэтому, в первом выпуске наступившего новолетия, мы решили хорошенько разжевать про блокчейн. В гости позвали уже знакомого вам Женю Егорова, который постарался объяснить на пальцах основы этого загадочного криптомира, да так, чтобы даже вашей бабушке было все понятно. ▪️Почему первая волна

As we ring in the new year, we’re often symbolically determined to make a fresh start. For thousands of students, there’s renewed vigour – if not enthusiasm – to revise. And a correlated number of parents who are promising to make sure that they do. But you can’t expect a change by doing the same things, so what is it that’ll make this year’s study resolutions stick? This week's guest is Lee Elliot Major. Lee is the Professor of Social Mobility at the University of Exeter. He's also the author of

Мы живем в мире, когда обычную гифку можно продавать за сотни тысяч долларов. Как такое возможно – спросите вы, мы отвечаем - NFT. Пожалуй, только ленивый не слышал эти три волшебные буквы. На вопрос, почему сейчас это стоит столько, кто и зачем платит такие деньги, мы попытались разобраться в данном выпуске. Гостем стал Anton Lukashuk - CG artist и NFT специалист, более известный на просторах ютуба под ником Buchara. В новом выпуске мы поговорили о том: ▪️ Что такое NFT простыми словами ▪️ О

Společně si popovídáme o tom, proč je důležité stavět budovy s ohledem na budoucnost a jejich možná budoucí využití a jak se nezaseknout v lineárním ekonomickém modelu.

The end of term reports are in. In many households, this can hold more sway over Christmas harmony than Santa’s naughty and nice lists. But are we right to put so much store in them? By which I mean the predicted grades not Santa's lists, obviously. This week's guest is David Didau. David is Senior Lead Practitioner for English at Ormiston Academies Trust. As well as running his blog – The Learning Spy – which is widely recognised as one of the most influential education blogs in the UK, he turns

This week's guest is teen, Emily. She's taking her GCSE exams in 2022. She talks openly about motivation (or lack of)  even though she knows the exams are important. She also explains why she wouldn't mind if exams were cancelled. It's great to have a teen perspective. Often, as adults, we have a more jaded view of the world. In listening to Emily you appreciate that teens don't necessarily consider things in the same way. It's a refreshing and honest look at studying and revising. And Emily does

We’ve all done that thing of saying or doing something to our children we promised our younger selves we would never say or do. It’s the gradual but undeniable transformation into our own parents. But is that such a bad thing? After all, doesn’t it come from a place of good intention and concern and brought to life with the benefit of our own experiences? This week our special guest is TV's Sanjeev Bhaskar.  As well as being instantly recognisable for his many roles on TV (Unforgotten, Kumars), in

Libor Černikovský - ředitel pro meteorologii a klimatologii Českého hydrometeologického ústavu Praha objasňuje, na jak dlouho dopředu a s jakou určitostí je možné dopředu počasí předpovědět. Zda se stanou tornáda součástí našich životů a jaký vývoj teplot lze do budoucna očekávat. S extrémy je však nutné počítat.

It’s been quite a while since many of us have taken an exam, so it’s understandable that we might have forgotten some of the best practices. To be honest I suspect a significant number of us may not have been especially au fait with those best practices at the time either! That can make it tricky when we’re trying to nudge our own teens along. Especially if along the way we start to focus more on the results than the habits and behaviours they need along the way – and beyond! This week's guest is

Помощь проекту: ссылка Наверняка вы слышали о бозоне Хиггса, встречали разные объяснения его свойств. Что-нибудь про поле, которое пронизывает пространство, взаимодействует с частицами и, замедляя их, будто густой сироп, придаёт им массу. Вроде бы понятное объяснение, но, как это часто бывает, излишне упрощенное и в какой-то мере неверное. Именно так считает американский физик-теоретик, один из создателей теории струн и профессор Стэнфордского университета Леонард Сасскинд. Поэтому он подготовил

Parenting can be a thankless task at times. Sure there are great bits to it, and on balance we wouldn’t be without them. Well, not all of us, and not all of the time. But there are aspects of the role that can be unwelcomed. The disciplinarian or enforcer role. The “have you done your homework” moments and the “put your phone away” times. So how would it feel to 'delegate' those aspects to someone else? This week's guest is Katie. She's mum to two teens who are at boarding school. Her daughter is

Our guest this week is Darren. He's dad to two teens - a girl who is in the first year of A Levels and a boy sitting GCSEs in 2022. Darren talks about his experiences of supporting teens when they live half the time with him, half the time with his ex-wife share. We cover the difficulties of ensuring the children are on track and of being conscious not to be the "naggy house". Darren talks about the additional pressure on the teens to take even more control of their studies. We also cover preparing

Jenny is mum to two teen girls. One is taking her GCSEs in 2022 and the other the following year. Both are incredibly sporty and keep Jenny and her husband busy with matches and practices in addition to the usual teen activities. We talk about how to manage hectic schedules and hope to keep on top of everything. We also learn that Jenny's girls are very different in their approach to study and revision. One is very organised and a perfectionist while the other is more chaotic and more

Gabriela je late-cofounder společnosti 2050 farms. Spolu s svými kolegy z brněnského kraje stojí za nejednou vertikální farmou, kde pěstují saláty a různé druhy micro-greens. Vertikální farmaření je vlastně horizontální pole postavené na výšku. Velká výhoda je úspora místa a pěstování například salátu kdekoliv ve městě bez ohledu na roční období a venkovní počasí. Vertikální farmy navíc nevyžadují častou údržbu a klima na farmě lze řídit přes počítač například z pohodlí domova.

This week listen to Head of Sixth Form, Gillian Walmsley talk about life beyond GCSEs. Gill reflects on her daughter's A Level decisions a couple of years ago as well as providing expert advice for parents and students. We talk about choosing an institution to go to, things to consider when selecting subjects and also the IB qualification. Gill is clearly passionate about her role and about making sure that young people make good choices at this stage in their educational careers. It's a really
