Thoughts on GCSE Grades. 🧵 In general we're not at peace with the realities of grading. You can't have comparative standards AND have everyone succeed above a certain level. The bell curve is not imposed.. there's no conspiracy. It's an outcome of cohort performance.

Honestly I think a lot of teachers on here would fail the first Teacher Standard. They clearly have low expectations of students, and low expectations of themselves. Spicy, but my opinion. achemicalorthodoxy.co.uk/202…

Next year, 2025, is the only square year most of us will see in our lifetimes (45 x 45). The last was 1936 (44 x 44), the next is 2116 (46 x 46).

Quite relieved there are only six episodes in season 2 of The Diplomat instead of the eight I thought, as I was completely incapable of switching it off and can now recommence life. Loved it, even better than season 1, when is season 3 please?!

Teaching year 7 for the first time in three years (usually only KS4 and KS5) Forgot the joys of them leaving g their seat to show you their book during the register to ask if they can leave the three line space at the bottom of the page to write a title on a new page. 1/2

But also how fab they are, desperate to please and eager to shine. This made my week 🥰 Won’t point out I am the only teacher they have experienced so have no means for comparison. I’ll just take it 😂
