After 6+ months of back & forth with OCR over last summer’s GCSE maths exams, this complaint has been upheld by Ofqual. It’s not enough. OCR must go further & re-mark. Many students have lost out! @Miss_Snuffy you’ll be very interested! ocrmaths2025bounds.netlify.a…
Something for those #coremaths lessons
ROBERTS: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you to take their product. So it raises the question -- how much of last night's speech was hyperbole?
LUTNICK: No. What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring the drug down to $13, if you're looking at it from $13, it's down 7 times
ROBERTS: It's not a 600% cut
LUTNICK: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now. So $13 would have to go up 700% to get back to the old one. So it all depends on when you look at it.
Monthly haircuts should be compulsory, says barber
Thrillers should be on UK school curriculum to boost reading, says Lee Child | The Guardian theguardian.com/education/20…
None of the exam boards really want to introduce online exams at scale - they’ll be expensive, time-consuming and with a good chance of going wrong (95% right wouldn’t be good enough, probably not even 99%), and they carry a large risk of reputational damage
🧵1/5
Ofqual too have shown themselves to be reluctant about online exams. They (and by extension the DfE and Secretary of State) will get the rap if the online exams, most likely, go wrong and the exam board(s) will get the credit if they go right

Hello @pearson @pearsonedexcel - can you tell me why all the grade statistics information has disappeared from your website?
Parking metres? About five for a regular space these days

One couple took this saying to the extreme, being accused of stealing €1m in loose change by taking coins out of parking metres
@SophyRidgeSky and @WilfredFrost chat about the alleged penny pinching pair
Probably a good day to post this again #coremaths
