And make public transport free with your ticket. Works wonders here (Brisbane)!

They have near constant bus service on game night from the hub a couple of suburbs over - catch a bus to the hub and then straight on to the stadium.
Or bus / drive to the train station and train in - whatever your want.

Yep - that's something we tend to do well:

Melbourne Cricket ground (100,000 capacity)

Adelaide oval (53,000 capacity)

Brisbane Gabba (42,000 capacity)

Sydney Olympic stadium (83,000 capacity) (there are some carparks just out of view, but not many)

The venues were pretty cool I thought. Nice break from 'generic sport stadium A'.

That's a great idea - didn't think of that

So the issue comes when using tables.
Make a table cell end at the bottom of the page, and you'll likely have a new blank page appear at the end.

The reason is because word needs a 'new paragraph' marker (the backwards p symbol) after the table. This delineates where the table ends - it's part of the formatting. You can't delete it.

Ways to get around it:

  • Don't make you're table go to the end of the page.
  • Reduce the font size of the new paragraph marker to 1 (you need to enable show formatting marks). You can probably fit this at the bottom of the page without losing much space.

There's other ways - write it into the conditions of loan that it's not the school's responsibility to monitor student use when at home.

There are solutions that allow monitoring only on campus - both the monitoring person and the student need to be on-site for the software to contact a licensing server. No server contact=no monitoring.
And never bring 'AI' into it.

Like doing homework in your room? Where now the monitor can turn on your webcam without you knowing and watch you in your personal space?

OK so that's nuts they installed a private 'AI' monitoring software that they have no oversight or control over. From the article, they can't even see what it flags as inappropriate - it just flags and deletes.
A school admin should never hand over that much control!

I feel like we skipped spring. (Brisbane)
