Answers:

1:MMORGs games are computer games which are played on the internet thus allowing the connection to a large(100-1000 or more) amount of players to interact in the game environments. most of these games use fantasy themes in the gaming environment. MMORGs allows gamers to customize their characters more than ordinary games both in the technical and visual aspects giving more independence to the gamer.unlike other games MMORGs offer social interaction thus the difference between MMORGs and other game genres

2: Due to the social interaction and the time in the game, MMORGs games demand a lot of time and dedication of the player to enjoy the game. There has been reports of players committing suicide due to stress in playing MMORGs games this clearly show how absorbing games of these genre can be a lot of school children playing MMORGs games show steadily declining progress in the school work. these game can be veryh stressful as these games literally dont have an end.Due to this there are some countries that ban MMORGs games.

3:Actually the economy is very much real as in the case of second life more so.MMORGs game companys use this as away to attract gamers who want to either purchase rare bonuses,upgrades,spells and moneys for use in the game which i find really pathetic.but on the case of second life the sale of goods in the virtual world is almost realistical meaning the products MMORGs game giants such as World of Warcraft uses this method as well as monthly payments on the internet as an important method of income for the company. This further increases the stress for school children as well as game enthusiast though less so for the latter. --Mohammed Aiman 17:03, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Trigonometric Substitutions

Introduction to this topic
This page is dedicated to teaching problem solving techniques, specifically for trigonometric substitution. For other integration methods see other sources.

The format is aimed at first introducing the theory, the techniques, the steps and finally a series of examples which will make you further skilled.

Assumed Knowledge

 * Basic Differentiation
 * Basic Integration Methods
 * Pythagoras Theorem

Theory of Trigonometric Substitutions
This area is covered by the wikipedia article Trigonometric substitution and the wikibooks module Calculus/Integration techniques/Trigonometric Substitution. On this page we deal with the practical aspects. We begin with the following as is described by the above sources.

Trigonometric substitution is a special case of simplifying an intergrand which has a specific form. We will first outline these forms and where they came from.

Pythagoras Theorem
We should be familiar with pythagoras theorem for a right angled triangle.
 * $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2\, $$

From this familiar definition we can derive other definitions. eg.
 * $$ c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}. \,$$

By expanding upon this theory we can come up with other relationships which help us with integration.

Definition 1 Sine Substitution - containing a2 − x2
$$(\sin \theta) = \sqrt{a^2-x^2} \qquad x=a\sin \theta \qquad \sqrt{a^2\cos^2 (\theta)}\,$$

Definition 2 Tan Substitution - containing a2 + x2
$$(\tan \theta) = \sqrt{a^2+x^2} \qquad x=a\tan \theta\,$$

Definition 3 Sec Substitution - containing x2 − a2
$$ (\sec \theta) = \sqrt{x^2-a^2} \qquad x=a\sec \theta\,$$

Summary
This table summarises the definitions that we identify in special integral cases and how they relate to trig identities.

Integration 1 Sine Substitution - containing a2 − x2
We begin with the integral

 * $$\int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{a^2-x^2}}$$

Step 1 - Identify Trigonometric Substitution Type We identify this integral as a trigonometric sine substitution.

Step 2 - Identifying Identities for Substitution
 * $$x=a\sin(\theta)\,$$

Step 3 - Substituting Identities into Integral Now we solve the integral using the following steps

 * $$\int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{a^2-x^2}}$$
 * $$= \int\frac{a\cos(\theta)\,}{\sqrt{a^2-a^2\sin^2(\theta)}} \ d\theta \qquad \textrm{substituting} \qquad x=a\sin(\theta)\qquad \textrm{and} \qquad dx=a\cos(\theta)\,d\theta$$
 * $$= \int\frac{a\cos(\theta)\,}{\sqrt{a^2(1-\sin^2(\theta))}} \ d\theta$$
 * $$= \int\frac{a\cos(\theta)\,}{\sqrt{a^2\cos^2(\theta)}} \ d\theta$$
 * $$= \int\frac{a\cos(\theta)\,}{a\cos(\theta)} \ d\theta$$
 * $$= \int d\theta\,$$
 * $$= \theta+C\,$$

Step 5 - Final Substitution of $$\theta\,$$
 * $$\text{the question is in terms of } x \text{ so we need the final substitution}\qquad\theta=\arcsin\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)\text{ or } \theta=\sin^{-1} \left(\frac{x}{a}\right)$$
 * $$= \arcsin\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)+C\,\qquad \text{or}$$
 * $$= \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)+C\,$$

Example 1 - Sec substitution
Evaluate

 * $$\int\frac{\sqrt{x^2-25}}{x}dx\,$$

Solution
 * $$ \text{In a formal solution there are typically more parts than outlined in the technique section, but the steps remain the same.}\,$$

Step 1 - Identify Trigonometric Substitution Type
 * $$ \text{We look at the format for the square root and recognise it as being a sec substitution.}\,$$

Step 2 - Identifying Identities for Substitution
 * $$ x = 5\sec \theta\,.$$

 * $$ x\,$$
 * $$ x = a\sec \theta \text{. In this case }a = \sqrt{25} = 5\,\text{ thus }x = 5\sec \theta\,.$$

 * $$x^2-a^2\,$$
 * $$x^2-25 = 25\tan^2\theta\,$$
 * $$x^2-25 = (5\sec\theta)^2-25\,$$
 * $$= 25(\sec^2\theta - 1)\,$$
 * $$= 25\tan^2\theta\,$$

 * $$ dx\, $$
 * $$ dx = 5\sec\tan\theta d\theta\, $$
 * $$ \frac {dx}{d\theta} = 5\sec\tan\theta $$
 * $$\text{NOTE: For differentiating } x= 5\sec \theta \,$$
 * $$x = 5 \sec \theta\,\qquad = 5 \frac {1}{\cos \theta} \qquad = \frac {5}{\cos \theta}\,$$
 * $$ \frac {d} {d\theta} = \frac {vu'-uv'}{v^2}\qquad\text{using Quotient Rule}$$
 * $$ \qquad =\frac {\cos \theta . 0 - 5 . (-\sin \theta)}{\cos^2 \theta}\qquad =\frac {5\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta} \qquad =\frac {5}{\cos\theta}.\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=5\sec\theta\tan\theta$$

 * $$\text{Values for }\theta\,$$
 * $$ \tan\theta\ = \frac {\sqrt{x^2-25}}{5} ,$$
 * $$ \text{recall } x^2-25 = 25\tan^2\theta\,$$
 * $$ \text{solve for }\tan\theta\,$$
 * $$ \tan^2\theta\ = \frac {x^2-25}{25}\,$$
 * $$ \tan\theta\ = \frac {\sqrt{x^2-25}}{5} \,$$

 * $$ \theta = \sec^{-1}\frac{x}{5}\,$$
 * $$ \text{recall } x = 5\sec\theta\,$$
 * $$ \theta = \sec^{-1}\frac{x}{5}\,$$

Step 3 - Substituting Identities into Integral
 * $$\int\frac{\sqrt{x^2-25}}{x}dx\, $$
 * $$= \int\frac{\sqrt{25\tan^2\theta}}{5\sec\theta} \ 5\sec\tan\theta \,d\theta\, $$
 * $$= \int\frac{5\tan\theta}{5\sec\theta} \ 5\sec\tan\theta \,d\theta\, $$
 * $$= \int 5\tan\theta \,.\, \tan\theta \,d\theta\, $$
 * $$= 5\int\tan^2\theta \,d\theta\, $$
 * $$= 5\int(\sec^2\theta - 1) \,d\theta\, $$
 * $$= 5(\tan\theta - \theta) + C\, $$
 * $$= 5\tan\theta - 5\theta + C\, $$

Step 5 - Final Substitution of $$\theta\,$$

 * $$\int\frac{\sqrt{x^2-25}}{x}dx\,$$
 * $$= 5 \,.\, \frac {\sqrt{x^2-25}}{5} - 5 \sec^{-1}\frac{x}{5} + C\,$$
 * $$= \sqrt{x^2-25} - 5 \sec^{-1}\frac{x}{5} + C\,$$

File talk:Multi-environment air supply mask.JPG

Non flexible nose-section
The non-flexible nose section means that the the pressure in the ears can not be equalised using the valsalva manoeuvre. Thus, the mask cannot be used for diving to great depths (despite that this isn't intented herefore). A solution could be to have the ears included to the mask, but this would also make it less small so that it will probably not be brought along everywhere.

My name is Wendy.

I was born and raised in California and have one brother. My major is in nursing science, it's my second year in MUIC. I like to hangout with my friends in my free time but usually I stay at home watching TV and sleeping. I prefer the winter rather than the summer and am a cheerful person.

Homework4
1. What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games? Massively Multiplayer Online Games or MMOGs are the games that are able to support thousands of players together at the same time. All players will have their own avatars. Most of these games are played on the Internet, online game; however, some of them can play from PS3 or Xbox. The differences between MMOGs and other online games. MMOGs are that MMOGs can support a huge number of players. MMOGs require players to pay fee for full function. However, other online games have less than 50 players per server.

2. Would there be stresses in living in a virtual world?

There may be some stress in MMOG if the players are so obsess about it, and every decisions of the players will affect their characters. So, I think MMOG provide both stress and happy depended on the players.

''3. Look at e-bay and see what is being sold from secondlife and other on-line game forum. Is the economy from these games real?''

The economy of this game is real because many people get money from selling some stuff in this game such as new clothes, land, avatar, and some items. The objects from secondlife are also sold in others online forum beside e-bay.

Science Grade 9/Characteristics of 21st Century Education

Characteristics of 21st Century Education

1.	Authentic, Active and Engaging: overarching narratives for context; interdisciplinary, real-world issues, examples and applications that are meaningful to youth; creation/production opportunities; broadly cooperative and collaborative (class, school, community, world)

2.	Differentiated and Increasingly Self-directed: combination of online, teacher-led and cooperative/collaborative learning (including networking with students and adults around the world); Project-Based Learning with flexible groupings; deep explorations (Informal Learning); Choice (topic, approach to learning, performance, assessment); Service Learning

3.	Technologically Sophisticated: rich use of all forms of knowledge creation, acquisition, management, transformation, communication (oral, physical, text, images, audio, video, blogs, forums, RSS feeds, Nings, simulations, virtual reality)

4.	Feeds the Spirit, Develops the Character and Expands the Mind and Heart: providing an attractive, diverse, rich, socially positive and inclusive environment; discovering, affirming and developing students’ personal gifts, talents and interests; inspiring to develop transcendent human qualities through artistry and other creative expression, symbolism, ceremony, and opportunities for leadership and for making a difference to others

5.	Systematic and Collaborative: PLC curricular teams at school, district and provincial levels; Assessment for Learning at all levels; Pyramids of Intervention at department and school levels; Province-wide course wikis with differentiated lessons, assignments, assessments and interventions

6.     Learner centered: Shift from teaching and instruction to learning and understanding. The "sage on the stage" that characterized 20th Century Education has been replaced by the "guide on the side". Such a guide or facilitator uses data-driven decision-making when determining instructional decisions to engage, empower and direct the learner for greater ownership and understanding.

•	Focus on personalized learning		    vs.	     Focus on compliance in group settings

•	Engagement 				    vs. 	     attendance/non-attendance

•	Inspiration and increasing self-direction 	    vs. 	     passivity

•	Cooperation/collaboration 		    vs. 	     competition

•	Meaning and context 			     vs. 	     disconnected tasks/facts

•	Diversity, differentiation, and inclusivity 	    vs.	      uniformity and narrow scope

Homework 1

Hello!My name is Nontawan Watcharaphongsathien or Yu. I'm in the second year and major marketing. I just moved from finance major in the previous term. I often play games when I feel stressed and also when I'm annoyed. I hate mathematic and science.

Homework 3

This is my video file http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FQj0d5AygU

Homework 4

1.What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games?

The main difference is about the number of the players. MMOGs stands for massively multiplayer online games such as World of Warcraft. These games can contain many people at the dame time. However, regular video games can contain only a few people and gamers do not need to online.

2. Would there be stresses in living in a virtual world?

Most people play games because they want to avoid stress, so I believe that living in a virtual world can not cause stress, unless the gamers are addicted to the game, then they will play games seriously.

3. Look at e-bay and see what is being sold from secondlife and other on-line game forum. Is the economy from these games real?

Sometimes gamers will sell things that are high values in the game into cash(real money), but most of the time, they just trade things only in the game.

Homework 4
1. MMOGs or Mssive Multiplayer Online Games is games that support 100 to 1000 players simultaneously, and most of them have to play on the Internet. In contrast, regular games can support only 1 to 5 players. Therefore, the different between MMOGs and other types of games is  player supporting system.

2. There don't have any stress on virtual games because they help people to relax their nerves by being fantasy characters in imaginary worlds, but they will cause stress if those people put too much attention on the games which can lead to psychological disorder.

3. Yes, it is. In secondlife, many people who trade game's items such as cloths with other by real money in the real world. Morover, the economy of online games is available on e-bay and many game websites. You can see players trade their rare items with real world money or other rare items.--Korapat 06:06, 23 January 2010 (UTC)5180526

Talk:Children, Schools and Families Bill/Amendments to Section 19E of Schedule 1

Hi This is a test page. I am out of my comfort zone with wikis.

Fiona Nicholson Trustee Education Otherwise

Hi - sorry I am also out of my comfort zone with wikis. I wanted to ask about this section:

1 - can part (3)(d) be changed/removed. There are many good reasons that some families might have for not wanting what seems like a 'home inspection'; we should be able to insist that any meeting takes place outside of our family home. Unless there is genuine suspicion we are doing something illegal then our homes should be ours to *invite* others into or not as we prefer. Is the suggested amendment clear enough about this?

2 - in part (5), I would suggest that 'two weeks notice' is not a long enough period. Also, notice of a visit is not the same as consensually and cooperatively *arranging* to meet. LAs should have to at least try to communicate with families in a reasonable way before they start to issue 'notices' of proposed 'visits'. LAs should be required to exhaust all other avenues of meeting (eg via drop in group 'HE support' sessions; at LA offices; at a time proposed by/suitable for the family rather than imposed by the LA).

The phrasing in this whole section is off imho. Families which include any member, adult or child, with any health problems will have most difficulty in cooperating with this section, I foresee all sorts of problems with the inflexibility. I dont even agree that meeting with an LA person is necessary or useful, but if an amendment to this section is going to be proposed, then it must be clear that the LA should put good effort into making these arrangements with the family rather than imposing them on the family.

I know that this sort of stuff will be probably stuck in 'best practice' guidance but I dont think thats good enough.

What is the meeting supposed to achieve anyway? Its not clear what these meetings are for - so they shouldnt be written in to legislation!

If it is intended to assure the LA that the child is healthy and being educated, this could be ascertained by a/ simply assuming that unless there is genuine reason to suspect otherwise the above is true and/or b/ perhaps by means of a letter/statement from a 'trusted' third party eg the family GP, or a leader of an activity group the child attends.

Imposed meetings by the LA should be a last resort, basically, rather than written into this legislation as standard operating procedure. The Bill should be amended to remove all this gumpf, or it should be made clear that it is last resort once all other avenues of 'checking on the child' have been exhausted unsatisfactorily.

Sorry again if Ive done all this wiki-ing wrong!

Children, Schools and Families Bill/Wish-list for Amendments

What should be in the Bill?
The purpose of this page is for people to explain things that they would like to see in the Bill. Use the discussion page to agree or disagree with what other people have suggested, and to propose alternatives and improvements. Please do not delete a suggestion. Please also use the wiki signing mechanism so that comments can be attributed. Please try to keep discussion on each amendment in its own section on the discussion page which can be found here Talk:Wish-list_for_Amendments

Note that there's nothing to stop us suggesting amendments to other parts of the Bill, either to equalise the treatment of home educated children with respect to school or for any other reason.

Exam Fees
Local authorities should be obliged to fund one attempt at any exam subject, with a maximum limit on subjects being the same as they would offer to children at any school in their area. Llondel 13:08, 9 January 2010 (UTC) If LAs would fund re-takes for schooled children, then I think they should fund them for HE children, at least in the case of illness and with proof of a doctor's note.

There needs to be an option for a non-school exam centre in each LA (for kids who have school issues and in case schools have HE issues (I've have heard some horror stories about exams in schools)). Also provision for children with SEN who may need to dictate their answers to someone who will write them down. (sorry, have forgotten the proper term, someone correct me please) Rose 17:21, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Rose NOT commenting on the amendment proposal - I think the term you are looking for is provision of a scribe, Some children and young people need assessments and diagnosis of dyslexia etc to get extra time they are entitiled to- this can be costly Annette EO GPG 82.38.193.176 23:23, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

the term is amanuensis

Promotion of Home Education
Local authorities should be obliged to provide information on home education to parents including points of contact for local and national home education groups when they send out the information regarding registering with a school. Llondel 13:08, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Provision of Information
LA will have a duty that all information that they make available regarding home education shall be legally accurate, fair and just. Llondel 16:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Quoting of Legislation
Given that LA officers can reasonably be expected to know the law in their field, and parents may not, it should be a requirement for an officer to provide parents with a copy of the relevant part of the legislation when insisting that certain things must or must not be done. Llondel 13:08, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

The Right to Home Educate
No child shall be denied the opportunity to be educated otherwise, unless the LA is able to demonstrate that the education being provided is unsuitable. Llondel 16:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Equal Opportunities
Each LA shall make appropriate provision that HE children, and their parents/guardians resident in its area will be afforded discounts on the use of all council facilities, as would be afforded to children who are in school. Llondel 16:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Training of Inspectors
All inspectors should be required to complete a training course on home education philosophies before performing any inspections and parents should be able to provide feedback on the performance of inspectors. Training should be reviewed annually. Parents should be able to opt out of future visits by a given inspector if they are unhappy. Llondel 16:53, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Feedback on performance will feed into the appraisal process of those local authority staff whose role is to support home educators. SO

Local Authority Home Education Board
Board to consist of approximately:

60% Home Educating parents, 20% LA staff, 20% home educating teens

HE representatives for larger LAs should include 1 parent with experience/knowledge of SEN

HE representatives for LAs with large GRT populations should include 1 parent from that community

Board to be responsible for Local Authority EHE department:

- Budgeting and changes to the budget

- setting strategic direction, policies and objectives

- job descriptions and education requirements for LA EHE personnel

- reviewing progress against the budget and objectives

- appointing, challenging and supporting the lead professional

- liasing with other departments within LA: this can include an education role

- one HE parent representative to be on any other education-related LA committees (eg. ones that school governors attend)

HE parents will be paid for reasonable expenses including child care. Creches for meetings may be arranged and paid for by LA. Rose 22:25, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Principles under which LAs will work
LAs will provide support to home educating parents in such a way as to:

- increase confidence of parents in their abilities to home educate

- uphhold parental decisions regarding content and form of education

- increase the strength of local home educating networks

- advance the education and welfare of home educated children and young people Rose 22:46, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Children, Schools and Families Bill/Wish-list for Amendments

Exam Fees
This one has been suggested by several people. I put it in with a suggested limit so that HE children get equal treatment with schoolchildren. In my day I think parents had to pay for re-sits, and I remember mine having to pay for me to sit an extra O-level above the standard eight that was the normal maximum in those data. Llondel 13:16, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Promotion of Home Education
This one I took off the BRAG list and put on here. Given that the LA seems to want to give our children every opportunity to say they'd rather go to school, it only seems reasonable that other parents and children be aware that they don't have to use the school system. Llondel 13:16, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Edited to add the bit about contact information for local and national groups. Might need to have something in there as to how a local or national group is defined, given that some are formally registered as charities and others are very ad-hoc mutual support groups. Llondel 16:43, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Provision of Information
Following on from above, give LAs a duty to be accurate Llondel 16:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Quoting of Legislation
This one is an attempt to reduce the bullying by inspectors seen in some parts of the country. If they were required by law to provide the text of the relevant piece of legislation they were claiming existed then perhaps it would reduce unpleasant inspection occurrences. Llondel 13:16, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

I see where this is coming from but could it backfire if Govnt do as Sel Comm recommended and produce statement of Children Acts and other legislation and their relevance to home education? Because they will get it wrong. Or if LA chooses to refer to some rubbishy piece of statutory guidance such as the one for section 10 or some bad upcoming revisions for Working Together to Safeguard Children. They won't stick to Queensberry rules and only quote primary legislation and they've drafted the Bill to permit much more to be introduced "by regulation".

Sorry! Fiona Nicholson, Education Otherwise

The Right to Home Educate
This one from Imran, providing that a child can be educated otherwise than at school unless there's a really good reason why not. Llondel 16:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

"providing that a child can be educated otherwise" ... so who decides this condition has been met and how? Isn't this an invitation to inspection and testng?

Annette Education Otherwise

Equal Opportunities
Another one from Imran, to allow home educated children the opportunity to take advantage of any concessionary rates and facilities offered by local authorities to schoolchildren. Llondel 16:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

This could be tied in with the Equalities Bill currently going through the Lords. http://nds.coi.gov.uk/Content/detail.aspx?NewsAreaId=2&ReleaseID=410216&SubjectId=2

Fiona Nicholson Education Otherwise

Fiona,

Wouldn't this imply means testing to determine eligability? "The Government today published details about how the socio-economic duty, a key part of the Equality Bill, will transform the way public bodies work to narrow the gaps between rich and poor and make society fairer."

Annette EO82.38.193.176 23:13, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Training of Inspectors
One of the complaints about inspectors is that while some of them are very good, others appear to arrive with a set of pre-conceived ideas about how education at home should be conducted, usually considering that it should be like school at home. With the wide range of educational approaches adopted, inspectors should be trained to understand the range and to be able to competently assess each case in its merits rather than using their own prejudices. Proper training and reviews would also help provide a consistent approach across the country instead of the postcode lottery that currently exists. Llondel 16:53, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Amendments
I'm not clear whether some of these amendments are intended to provoke discussion in parliament but not get voted through or whether they are mitigation/damage limitation.

I'm very worried that a quick skim of amendments wish list might make it look as though the Bill just needed tweaking ie to add funding for support eg exams to the pre-existing proposals for licensing.

Which I presume is NOT the intention?

Sorry again to be a downer.

Fiona Nicholson Education Otherwise

I am absolutely in agreement with Fiona's comments above. Surely all that is needed is for clause 26 to be removed, home educators have no interest in 'tweaking' absurd proposals which should not be there in the first place. The proper place for clause 26 is in the bin - we don't want monitoring and registration, do we?!!! Proposed amendment to the bill - 'remove clause 26 in full'.

Pam 14:58, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

That one is implied, that we want the whole thing removed, and several opposition politicians have agreed in public. However, if they spend five minutes discussing it in committee and vote to keep it, that doesn't delay the Bill much. The objective of all the amendments is to force debate and to highlight that if it gets to the wash-up prior to the election, the home education provision is controversial and the Opposition will therefore not agree to put it through on the nod, at which point it will be dropped to allow the non-controversial parts of the Bill to go through. Unfortunately it's all a complicated game with obscure rules, and we're doing our best to learn said rules while not screwing it up. Llondel 21:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I think there is great danger in not having a very simple message - mine would be - the present framework is adequate though poorly understood and badly implemented. Clause 26 does not provide a way forward- it needs binning.

There was a time when you could table lots of amendments which would cause the Bill to run out of time and so be lost - of course that is not the case any more.

Hope this works -first time I have tried to Wiki!

Annette Education Otherwise 82.38.193.176 22:11, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Annette, why do you say "of course that is not the case any more"? Do you think there is no possibility that this Bill will run out of time? As I understand it, the government cannot artificially limit the length of debate in the Lords.

What do you think about David's arguments for putting lots of amendments, in order to highlight the general unpopularity and inadequacy of the HE bits of the Bill? Do you know that the amendments on the wish list are not the only ones being proposed on this wiki? There are at least two full sets of amendments to Schedule 1, which would undermine the whole principle of compulsory registration and monitoring, and remove the nasty SAO provisions in the current Bill. Danigreenhouse 08:21, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi AT one time it was possible to overload the House of Commons with amendments and talk the Bill out as it ran out of time- Labour changed this and put time limits on debate.

We have to do all the awareness raising - without it yesterdays debate could have been over well before the 10 o clock deadline - and it means the issues are aired and debated.

I think our only hope has always been the general election timing really - Labour have a big majority and few are likely to defy the whips. Maybe the biggest danger is the wash up where we could have been overlooked.

My concern is that amendments may make people think it is fixable - when I don't think it is- this is no basis for going forward so best if it fell.

Whoever is in power after the election will revisit this if it doesn't go through - we wont keep the status quo. A new start from scratch would I think come up with something less bad.

And yes - still all the Lords stages to go through yet too.

Annette EOGPG82.38.193.176 12:05, 12 January 2010 (UTC) was no one else alarmed by this from David Laws? "I hope that the Secretary of State is willing to take those proposals seriously. Outside the Committee's proceedings, we would be willing to take part in cross-party talks with himself and the hon. Member for Surrey Heath if that is necessary to try to reach an agreement on proposals that could command cross-party support."

Annette ( who has no idea why some of my last post is in a box- first try at wikkis

Annette EO GPG82.38.193.176 12:11, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Annette, I was seriously discouraged by David Laws willingness to do a behind-closed-doors deal. I think we need to get onto our MPs again and state that this is not acceptable (and other things). I, also, am worried that amendments may be cherry-picked. My present thinking is that we need to stand-by ditching clause 26 entirely, and focus all our proposed amendments on tidying up current legislation as it relates to HE'd children eg. amend the "children missing education" legislation so that HE'd children aren't caught up in that net. Also, to suggest amendments to provide all those goodies E Balls promised and are not showing any signs of turning up, amendments to say how a LA should treat HEing parents, etc. Rose 212.84.118.179 22:35, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Where are the other amendments? Are they on the wiki? I am very scared about "sets" of amendments because there is no guarantee as Dave has said that the Committee or the Govnt is obliged to take a set in entirety. They could reverse cherry pick, whatever the expression is! FionaNicholson 09:56, 12 January 2010 (UTC) Fiona Nicholson, Education Otherwise ( not sure how to timestamp, seems to be to do with tildes?)

Yes they are on this wiki - Go back to the main page on the Bill and look at all the amendments to bits of Schedule 1, listed just above this wish-list page. I don't know what is the right thing to do, and I absolutely share your concern that we don't give the impression we are happy to accept a watered down version of Schedule 1, but I can also see the argument that amendments give the Lords something to debate, and that a delay in the Lords is our only hope of this Bill not going through. 82.148.47.240 13:02, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

These are amendments for the Lords?

Fiona FionaNicholson 19:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Someone said "Yes they are on this wiki". I think I've seen other proposed amendments which aren't here on the wiki for discussion. FionaNicholson 09:04, 13 January 2010 (UTC) Fiona ( incidentally on my keyboard I can press shift # four times for tilde and get auto sign in without my IP as it says at the head of the page. I mean I'm surprised I was able to follow simple instructions, so they must be very simple)

Sorry, that was me above, but I forgot to log in so it didn't put my name. I am increasingly concerned about us proposing any amendments at all, having heard what both Michael Gove and David Laws said in the Second Reading debate. The amendments people have suggested so far are linked from the main page at Children Schools and Families Bill. You are right, Fiona, I have also seen other amendments which are not on this wiki. I believe the authors plan to put them up here when they are finished (whatever that is). I think we need to be very clear with our MPs that any amendments are not enough for us, and will not make it OK for them to let Schedule 1 go through as part of some behind the scenes deal. Danigreenhouse 20:34, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

So there are other amendments which are being passed directly to MPs without appearing here on the wiki? Are these from a group or from various individuals ? FionaNicholson 18:02, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

"So now the ammendments come into play - those on wikiversity and Betsy and Karen's rewrite...... 2:54 PM Jan 11th from web" I just saw this on Twitter, probably others have seen already? FionaNicholson 22:03, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

They've been uploaded as a file to the BRAG Yahoo group file area as a pdf file. I saw an earlier draft and have scanned through the latest one, which incorporates suggestions from those of us who saw the draft. It's very much a "replace Schedule 1 with this alternative" attempt, and does what my original set of amendments did but pushes the boundaries a bit further. I was creatively amending things to reduce their damage, this one just leaves out the bits we don't like, including any concept of revocation. As with what's on here, 'application' has been replaced by 'notification' to make it clear that it is a voluntary, one-way process giving the LA no wiggle room. The downside is that it's very much an either/or and so may not take long to discuss. Alternatively, it may eat up lot of discussion time as the relative merits of old and new are compared. Llondel 23:10, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Dani said the authors plan to put the amendments up here when they are finished. If the local authority were to have a new statutory duty to maintain a register it seems to me a slippery slope to say that it is quote voluntary unquote for home educators to participate. Are you saying that you would be happy for MPs to vote in favour Betsy and Karen's amendments? FionaNicholson 06:14, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Since the amendments would propose a change to current legislation, has change been agreed as preferable to maintenance of the status quo? Has it been decided and if so where that the status quo is not tenable? FionaNicholson 08:06, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I've just posted the following on the Education Otherwise support list: "I'm not convinced that MPs would put forward amendments at the Commons stage if the purpose were simply to "stimulate discussion". I understood this to be more the purpose of amendments in the Lords. I think if MPs take up amendments put forward by home educators it would be because the MPs think that what is contained in the amendments is what home educators WANT." FionaNicholson 08:18, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I have just received a Briefing Pack from the Sauer Consultancy Ltd dated 13th January. It includes amendments FionaNicholson 12:53, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Can someone please clarify?

Are these amendments from the Sauer consultancy?

'Is this the same document from Betsy  which I think Betsy mentioned at APPG- or is it a different document?

'And is this a BRAG document or unrelated to BRAG??

Sorry just seem to be lots of proposed amendment lists not here on the wiki yet.I understood Graham had suggested that this wiki was set up for discussion of amendments...it made me feel a bit swimmy as I haven't tried wikis before

Are there links to these documents in other parts of the wiki which I am just missing

Just trying to be sure I haven't missed something

Annette eo gpg 82.38.193.176 14:06, 17 January 2010 (UTC) 82.38.193.176 14:06, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Betsy here -- new to the wiki and a bit daunted by it but hopes this works. Because I have not been on the wiki much, I just noticed this whole string of comments. I'll try to respond, but it is very late at night (rather, early in the morning), so if I miss something I'll try to fill in later. Or send me an email to prompt me (betsyhomeed@yahoo.com). There is a lot of mention here of alternative amendments/Betsy and Karen's amendments/HERA amendments. Yes, I believe you all are talking about the same thing, the HERA amendments that Karen and I put together. Though this is not the Sauer Consultancy, Alison Sauer just put together a pack that includes the HERA draft. I had mentioned to Graham Stuart that we were working on some amendments, though they were not done then, and this did come up in some of the casual conversation the day of the APPG, so yes that also is the same thing but at the time it was not an existing document.

They were posted on BRAG, but we couldn't possibly speak for the 760 people on BRAG. We did think that by posting on BRAG we could get the draft to more eyes than by putting them on the wiki. They are not on the wiki -- we intended to put the final on the wiki, then also were concerned that, because it is a revision of the bill, with different section numbers, and because parts are interdependent, and the language is precise, that changes of parts on the wiki might change the meaning more than intended or throw the whole thing off (for instance, we received a suggestion to replace "suitable" with "missing" education, which would wholly change the meaning). And physically I don't know how to get them here! Makes me feel a bit "swimmy" (good adjective for it, Annette).

Dave up there (I think it was Dave) gave a nice summary of some of the parts of the amendments. They do go beyond the Select Committee, and reject entirely large parts of Schedule 1. Part of the intent also is to state/flag issues that should be considered in legislation regarding home ed -- what does not have to be shown in home ed, the duties that LAs do not have.

Betsy

Where can I find the amendments by Betsy and Karen on this wiki, please? FionaNicholson 18:42, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

One set is on here, it's what started all this off. They're based on something I started outlining elsewhere and Dani and I transferred them to here. If you look carefully at what's there, it potentially goes further than the existing SAO legislation because it requires a court to issue the order and they have to consider the child's best interests as part of the process. So even if your educational provision is not as good as it might be, if you can show that your child would be worse off at school, the court should come down on your side. I admit that it is very much a first draft, but I was hoping that more people would discuss the contents and propose alternatives or additions (or removals). I tried to work them to end up with something similar to what we have now, possibly tightening it up to make it clear to LAs what they can and can't do, but trying to end up with something that didn't significantly disturb the status quo if it got through. We already have a registration scheme - it has a semi-voluntary aspect in that you can opt to be on it if they don't know you exist, but for those who deregister from school, they're on it whether they want to be or not. It did occur to me that if my stuff were to get through, the people already known to the LA but who do not notify them under the new scheme are then in an interesting position because technically they should not be on the register at that point and so shouldn't be hassled by inspectors.

Local Home Education Boards
This proposal is with regard to Badman's consultative forums and an effort to not only give HEers a voice at LA level, but to give us teeth. The precedent for this is the school 'parent governor' and the list of duties are mostly based on what school governors do. Rose 22:32, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Insert new suggestions here
(i) 19G sets up an appeals tribunal to hear disputes about registration, and 19G(2)(e) authorises the making of regulations about 'matters to whih regard is to be had in considering an appeal'. A tribunal should be independent, and not take guidance from a government department. Excise (2)(e) and insert 'independent' before 'person or body' in 2(c). (ii) 19 C(4(b)to (d)- requiring home educators to provide 'prescribed' information in a 'prescribed' form. Poetentially oppressive, both in terms of the burden on home educators and also because the information they ask for might be based on an educational philosophy the home educator doesn't agree with. This could be amended to a duty to provide 'such information as might reasonably be required' to indicate the nature of the home education (and leaving the coutst to decide what is 'reasonable')

dan morgan --82.5.231.129 21:52, 12 January 2010 (UTC) Add new sections above here with a note on the reasons behind the suggestion so that people can easily comment. Llondel 13:16, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

I can't find the link to the main page, so I've not looked at the complete list of amendments. But some of the suggestions made on this page don't really seem to be amendments as such. The committee stage is a fairly narrow process of going through the bill clause by clause and 'fine-tuning' it, and committee members can't introduce new ideas willy-nilly which have not been voted on at second reading. Any proposed amendment must refer specifically to a clause or sub-clause of the Schedule, and suggest a modification, insertion of a word, or excision, or in exceptional cases the addition of a subclause. My two suggestions above are examples of what I mean.

I think there are certain technical rules about the language to be used in bills, and ideally we should have legal advice from people experienced in draughting or interpreting legislation. Perhaps a bit late for the Commons committee stage, though there will be a committee stage (of the whole House) in the Lords. In the meantime we could do our best and suggest amendments that sympathetic Commons Committee members might put forward.

I see no incompatibility between a campaign to bin the bill and the tactic of proposing amendments. In terms of public perceptions, amendments are technical and not high profile. And surely M.P.'s and others are bright enough to see that an amendments tactic is just an insurance policy, so that if a completely unacceptable bill is pushed through it will be slightly less oppressive than it would otherwise have beeen. dan morgan

Sorry! - I've just got on to the wiki site and seen the list of amendments - far more radical than the couple I proposed. I suppose a political calculation has to be made about how radical a proposed amendment can be and yet still have a chance of being adopted. dan

Interesting that you think them radical - I was trying to start off with a mild set for practice and then move on to more radical ones Llondel 10:25, 18 January 2010 (UTC) --

I keep walking around an idea for an amendment - I haven't spotted a down side to it yet ,either under the present regime or in the event that some version of this Bill is adopted

It would say that Local Authorities have a DUTY to inform \ALL parents on an annual basis of the option of home education and the Law and responsibilities associated with such a decision.

This is not done routinely now - in fact I get the impression that some LA would prefer it not to be more widely known.

Particularly if there is compulsory registration with consequences for non registration I think this would be a necessary amendment

Annette EO GPG 82.38.193.176 13:46, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Only informing when the child becomes of compulsory school age would not be sufficient as we know children are de registered at all ages.

Not now sure about this final sentence -( must get something else done now)

Maybe replace "on an annual basis" with "when children attain the age for compulsory education"

How about free eye tests post 16 for home educated young people. Also what about Education Maintenance Allowance for home educated young people? Sorry, not relevant to other amendments being discussed but it's extremely annoying that we are excluded. FionaNicholson 17:09, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Sadly, this is the sort of theing they'd come back and say "ah, but if you were all properly registered then we could look at including you all on such schemes". Then they'd use a Nelsonian eye to look and we'd end up registered for no benefit. Llondel 10:25, 18 January 2010 (UTC)Yep, true. And there'd still be a catch. But they do it in Scotland without a big stick, although obviously you register for the EMA itself. I've been researching how many EMAs are currently awarded to home educated young people in Scotland. I will have all the FOIs back by the end of January. FionaNicholson 18:39, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

ATP mentor training/Psychosocial mentoring

Please note: This is only a first sketch for re-using existing parts in this learning trail.

Smalltalk
The following resources are useful to develop some ideas what a mentor and a mentee can chat about. Smalltalk allows to establish an unstressed relationship and at the same time can allow to learn something about the mentee and to teach the mentee some ideas, views and attitudes that may be useful for the mentee. Smalltalk should be quality time, of course, and it should be perceived by the mentee as such.
