I support the ban for under-16s, but this one is just… weird.

The responses to this really highlight the inconsistencies in English marking. I wouldn’t mind the hours spent marking if the outcomes felt more reliable and accurate. What really annoys me is the constant uncertainty. I’m always torn between awarding marks and second-guessing.

Please can someone help me give this ACC response a mark?! I’m really struggling. Y10 mock exam (extract was ignorance and want) and the question was on the ‘suffering of the poor’.

What are the most popular GCSE and A-level subjects in 2026? x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Observations on Sports Day, professional football and the impact of role models: When boys fall on the pitch, there’s rolling, grabbing, excruciated expressions, fists beating on the grass, cries of agony… When girls fall on the pitch, they get up. 💁🏼‍♀️⚽️💅🏼

Out of the 12 individuals jailed so far for the Southampton riots, eight have lengthy criminal records, including convictions for domestic abuse, assault, robbery, weapons offences, and grievous bodily harm against an 80-year-old woman.

@tes @PieCorbett You get the curriculum the accountability system rewards

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

Nem uma única bola rolou no gramado até agora e este é o quadro da COPA 2026: • As equipes do Senegal e do Uzbequistão foram tratadas na chegada como criminosos, com buscas completas em seus orifícios. • O melhor árbitro da África foi enviado de volta à Somália, apesar de seu passaporte diplomático. • O Fotógrafo da equipe do Iraque foi impedido de entrar mesmo com visto válido. • Foi negada a entrada nos EUA de 90% dos fãs marroquinos com ingressos já adquiridos. • Foram recusados vistos a 14 membros da equipe de apoio do Irã. • Foi negada a entrada no país do principal atacante da Suíça, o camaronês Breel Embolo. A equipe viajou sem ele. Após a forte repercussão, o visto foi enfim concedido. • A equipe iraniana, cujos jogos serão todos nos EUA, foi proibida de pernoitar no país. Imediatamente a após cada partida, os atletas voarão de volta ao México, onde se hospedam. - Qual é o sentido de sediar a Copa do Mundo se não pretendem que o MUNDO faça parte dela???

Sick of seeing ‘the toughest classes need the best teachers’ comments. wtf is ‘the best’ teacher? ‘The best’ teacher for one student/class/school is not ‘the best’ for another. I’ve seen teachers who are wizards with formerly U-grade kids crumble with a top set—and vice versa.

Something very ironic about unionists/ people with 🇬🇧 flag on their page telling Ireland to stand up for itself and take our country back

This is a racist pogrom. Supported by one of the most powerful and rich men in the world and his apologists.

Students need all kinds of teachers. - The extroverts who bring energy. - The introverts who lead with quiet thoughtfulness. - The serious teachers who bring structure and focus. - The silly teachers that put students in a state of relaxed alertness. - The spontaneous teachers who model a creative spirit. - The organized teachers who bring clarity and consistency. Part of education is learning how to work with, learn from, and relate to people who are different from ourselves.

Sometimes (only sometimes) parental complaints to school are like complaining to an Italian restaurant that they don’t serve curry. And they’re going to complain to the highest level until they are made to serve curry. When there’s a perfectly good curry house a few shops along.

If a person casually says ‘Some [people in x category] are bad’ or ‘This specific other [person in x category] sucks’ and you take that as a personal attack on you, you are revealing a lot about yourself—and your comprehension skills. Chill out, Defensive Debbie.

Seems like a bit of an oversight for the headline to mention him asking if he could kiss her, but not mention him cornering her, leaning his body against her and grabbing her hair. Or that she was a child sexual abuse survivor and he was a stalker.

I can’t understand how teaching parents do it. Going from ‘Miss! Miss! Miss!’ all day to ‘Mum! Mum! Mum!’ all evening. When do you regulate yourself? When do you exist for yourself? When do you rest? When are you at peace? When do you stare at a wall in silence for five hours?

Student to teacher ratio. 30-1 5-1 1-1 When commenting on behaviour in schools, some people seemingly have zero idea how different this is. What's possible vs impossible. How students act with an audience vs not. How much time you have as a teacher vs not. How much is happening at any one time. I could go on.

Shame on HoDs who do this and schools that allow it.

@TTRadioOfficial I knew a HOD who gave themselves all year 11 and 13 on their TT. A full half term of no classes to teach! Clever way of freeing time for the new year or just laziness? 🤔😅

Ofsted toolkit: Attainment. For me, all of these points serve to unfairly hit schools with more disadvantaged students. The 'compared to national averages' thing is nonsense. Always will be. Just leave attainment out of the equation and judge what you see in the 2 days.
