There's no answer to whether a specialist SEN school is "better" than a mainstream school for pupils with additional needs, because there's no catch-all solution for every student. I personally went to a mainstream school, because my parents didn't think I would benefit (1/?)

I mean all credit to @Magician147 there, having basically sat in his seat and watched 9-6 become 9-9, to win the decider like he did was absolutely tremendous and shows how much of an absolute champion he is

So to recap today: Ryan Day was 7-2 up, went 8-7 down, won 10-9, and might have no cue for the Crucible Si Jiahui won 10 frames in a row One of the Judgement Day losers is apparently quitting the sport Ben Mertens is officially safe We had a frame last 107 earth minutes.
