@FraserNelson Right. You don't learn equations. You understand them. Once you understand them, there's nothing to "learn" in tbe rote sense because they could only be that.

You can bet private school kids will still be taught and expected to memorise equations. This dumbing down - by ministerial diktat - will only deepen inequality: a case study in the soft bigotry of low expectations.
Jack Elsom@JackElsom

The days of GCSE pupils memorising equations and formulae from memory are now officially over. Schools minister Georgia Gould has written to Ofqual to say that "for the lifetime of the current GCSE specifications in these subjects, students should not be required to memorise formulae and equations for assessment purposes." Dumbing down or common sense?

Ah, last repeat of last ever The 3rd Degree in a few mins on @BBCRadio4 - 15 years, 90 shows, 540 students & academics and way too many questions about philately. I blame the producer #The3rdDegree

@DavidTylerPozz Really enjoyed The 3rd Degree and its a real shame it has ended. Your decision, or R4 now commissioning fewer quizzes?

It is a little known fact that tonight's clock re-adjustment was pioneered by German-British artist Frank Auerbach, to the great dismay of the proponent of the original change, politician Konrad Adenauer

@LissaKEvans @FashionTextile I don't post here often these days but hearing this takes me right back to the time in a bookshop in the 80s where a friend claimed to have heard a lady ask "for the Yasser Arafat Book of Knitting"
