The absolute scenes at work when this conked out yesterday.

Thank goodness for next morning delivery.

Had serious conversations about whether we could open this morning.

It was tense yesterday.

There was no subtlety from autumn this morning.

No gentle knock, just smashed through the door.

"I find it really hard to get all the names right..."

New class/new names?

1) Seating plan
2) Name tents (low effort, high impact)

Desert island fruits.

What three would you pick?

My choices (and yes, I realise one is not a fruit...)

This is true but is often used to defend certain pedagogical practices- fair enough. But that’s why what we assess and the methods we use are so important because they do alter our relationship with the subject and with knowledge. So when it’s not right, nor are exams a reflection of the subject

Do grades make students happier? Debatable, no doubt.

What good grades do is afford young people more choices.

Especially individual and groups who are marginalised.

And does the freedom to choose make people happier?

I think so.

I totally agree with this but it’s why I want so much for the exams to measure better things in better ways. I want to ensure that if I have to tech to the test that’s enriching, especially for those marginalised students. Enjoying learning shouldn’t be for outside school and for the privileged

This is my favourite results response so far though.
Text reads: Daisy Grayson, 18, from Rhayader, said she is off to do a tattoo apprenticeship in Llanidloes.
"I did alright. I'm very happy it's over," she said.

It was the same at my daughter's school last year - and by the time the reporter turned up there were only four students left, and they didn't jump with much enthusiasm! The photo in the paper might be better - I took this with my phone.
Students jumping for "joy"
