Just remember: Teachers probably impact more people in one year than an average person does in an entire lifetime. You are worth your weight in gold!

Has anyone managed to find a sturdy box capable of fitting two stacks of A5 books or one stack of A4+ without it being the size of a skip? I could really do with some recommendations, TIA.

Bought the new Casio Classwiz this weekend. Positives: case is clever and light, button presses have a nice feel to them. Format button is a useful addition, dice roll, coin toss and number line are good ideas. 1/3

Negatives: Screen is very dark, orange shift functions hard to read on grey background, still no pi button, still no way to switch between normal and standard form, dice roll etc do multiple results concurrently (one at a time being an option would be a useful teaching tool) 2/3

There are now 7 different menus to navigate which seems excessive, the circular buttons are all slightly out of alignment. All in all, it feels like a backwards step, style over substance.
