Just because I'm following someone, it doesn't mean I agree with everything they say!
Marking mock exams. 😞

That's a hard no from me. Changed from a lover to a hater when Marmite stopped being gluten free.

Tesco's for me now.

He genuinely did want peace & to do the best for his country.

That didn't go to plan, but he wasn't making a deal with the enemy for mineral rights & prime beachside land for development, like Trump.

He also bought valuable time for us to prepare for the war. Something that is often overlooked.

That meant I had to prepare all the week's online lessons at the weekend and upload them, because I couldn't manage delivering the lessons, making the day's 'wellbeing' phone calls, then planning and resourcing online materials for the next day.

I was teaching online from my sickbed, having nearly died of Covid. When we went back to school to teach year 10, we had to prep & upload the day's online learning for other year groups, then go in & teach all day face to face. I then could barely move or think for the next 3 days due to long covid.

So many people in education told them that if there were no restrictions at half term, it would rip through schools. They did nothing. Even when schools closed, they refused to put measures (e.g. HEPA filters) in place to enable safe opening. Then demonised teaching unions for asking for them!

16th March was already too late. Covid was already ripping through schools by then. Educators warned of this - it was obvious that no restrictions during Feb half term meant that students would bring it back from their holidays.

I read that as 'Trump's daft plan'.

Not convinced I'm wrong.

They're worried it will point out that most women have to position their seat belt differently to men, on account of it being painful. Although, if they set it up like that photo, the tests will just ignore it and assume we all drive round with one breast being painfully squashed.

Essentially, if Gove hadn't wreaked havoc as Ed Sec, schools wouldn't have needed to close for so long, lockdown learning would have been better when they did, and hundreds of teachers wouldn't have died.

They also canned BECTA, which was responsible for promotion and integration of ICT in education and had the strategic objective: "to develop a national digital infrastructure and resources strategy leading to greater national coherence."

I know the schools' response plan was thrown out by Gove (and his sidekick Cummings) when he was Ed Sec.

They've had ages to redact, classify etc.

'The Epstein files' are probably the evidential version of a colander by this point.

That jumped out at me, too.

There, there?

Oh dear.

Time for bed. 🥱

Absolutely not. We teach trig for understanding, starting with investigating side lengths in families of similar triangles. I warn students that the formula sheet is labelled for Pythagoras, so they should add hyp, opp, and adj themselves. We give them a copy of the sheet so they get used to it.

'No prospects for progress' because the US had no intention of taking part in any real negotiations. They were there only there to push Ukraine into surrendering. As soon as they realised Zelensky had European backing for his own plan, they turned tail and ran.

They retired their stadium sets because they weren't selling enough.

Thank you for your coverage of this. For people outside the US, this whole process is bizarre and disturbing. People seem to be celebrating a result that, as yet, hasn't resulted in any unaltered information being released and doesn't look likely to.

[ It's 'all of a sudden', though. Sorry.]
