My strawberries are mouldy and my raspberries are on the turn. Can I get a refund please?

Anyone got experience of what the non-binary teacher equivalent of Sir/Miss is? I know about Mx to replace Mr/Ms, but our kids call us sir and miss a lot, so we need that as well. Best I’ve seen so far is to use Mx, but they don’t call me ‘mister’ so that doesn’t feel quite right

@AvantiWestCoast how’re two train’s worth of people going to fit on one train from Manchester to London, where almost every seat is already marked as reserved?

There’s families wandering up and down looking for seats, let alone all the adults

Is that @gdavies over Howard’s shoulder, performing as part of the nurses’ choir?!

What’s the best year group to take to CERN? Y10 to improve recruitment into 6F? Y12 to encourage them into physics at uni? Y13 because they have more chance of understanding the science? #asechat #chatphysics

@emc2andallthat I’ve got a physics ECT doesn’t like CTM. I do, but not physicist. What are the most persuasive arguments for it? I think he doesn’t really like resistance and it doesn’t work for ac.

I say rope models use the abstract concept friction to model the abstract concept resistance, but models are meant to make the abstract concrete. And I think ac is irrelevant because this is a model for exposing circuits. Is that right?

When did it officially become a thing with @aqa that calculations of 3+ marks have to include working - no longer full marks for a correct answer without working?! When was that communicated? #asechat #chemchat @MrARobbins @adamboxer1

At my school we are consistently struggling with chemistry from y7-11, especially in combined sci. A level usually does ok, so those who get it seem to get it. Has anyone else had that problem and/or have any solutions? #chatchemistry #asechat

Obviously we’ve looked at sequencing etc, but it feels like we’re missing something. I feel a bit like our KS3 chemistry might be to blame, but can’t really pick out a key theme. Maybe general ‘periodic table sense’ could be a thing?

@schooltruth do you know anything about Ark BDA? Would you investigate or suggest anyone else? Lots of questions about this: burlingtondanes.org/sites/de…

The primary was set up as 2fe, went down to 1, now being merged or closed? But Ark building another new 2fe school just across the road at edcity. Seems inefficient at best.

BDPA has a 6yo building and massive playing field - wonder if selling the playing field is part of the plan? Ark seem to be taking over Shepherd’s Bush and Acton. Seems like plenty of questions could be asked by someone who is good at getting answers…
@welovefrugi Hello. I made an order yesterday with next day delivery, but seems like it’s not coming? Please would you confirm? 1777685
