"Verbal-linguistic intelligence has to do with words, spoken or written. People with verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words and dates. They tend to learn best by reading, taking notes, listening to lectures, and via discussion and debate. They are also frequently skilled at explaining, teaching and oration or persuasive speaking. Those with verbal-linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal memory and recall, and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure.
Careers which suit those with this intelligence include writers, lawyers, philosophers, journalists, politicians and teachers." (Wikipedia)

The inspiration for this came to me at 2am this morning, when I was trying to sleep. It seemed like a great idea at the time but now I don't know if I like it. Anyway, I've wanted to write something about Andromeda for a while. Her whole story is really interesting (and quite sad).

thoughtfulSeveral high-profile authors are to stop visiting schools in protest at new laws requiring them to be vetted to work with youngsters.
Philip Pullman, author of fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials, said the idea was "ludicrous and insulting".
Former children's laureates Anne Fine and Michael Morpurgo have hit out at the scheme which costs £64 per person. [...] Anthony Horowitz - author of the popular Alex Rider series - wrote in a comment article for the paper: "In essence, I'm being asked to pay £64 to prove that I am not a paedophile.

The extremes that health and safety regulations go to and then they complain that children these days are 'bubblewrapped'. It actually disgusts me.
irritatedI read this article about how messed up the A level system has become on guardian.co.uk.
The new modular curriculum introduced meant an examination or assessed coursework in every subject, every term. Students stopped asking 'what does it mean' and started asking 'how much is this worth'? They became glassy-eyed, like hamsters on play wheels, unable to think beyond the next exam or piece of coursework.
And with a government intent on increasing participation in post-16 education, class sizes began to swell, cranking up the pressure further. With classes of up to 25, ranging from students who barely scraped a C grade in GCSE English to Oxbridge candidates, delivering GCSE-style lessons was the only way to cover the necessary ground.
It's so true, it makes me sad. I remember having my "interview" with the sixth form. My high school made out like they really made sure you were good enough before letting you in, but that wasn't the case at all. As long as you didn't get all E's, you were in. tired
