@ScottPughsley Haha our GCSE results were emailed out in subject rank order - top of the list meant the teachers had underpredicted the students final grades bottom meant the teachers had overpredicted their final grade. Genuinely don’t see any reason to send results out in that format?

After working in a school that had every first INSET as peoples results ranked on a slide for everyone to see (yes including the TAG & CAG years) … I think I’m actually scarred for life. My current school is the polar opposite of that toxic cesspit and I’m still a nervous wreck.

@cesca_brooke @maternityCPD @WomenEd It’s hard, we take turns as my parents no longer with us and wife’s parents too old to reasonably expect them to look after ill 1 & 3 year olds all day. Fortunately my school are quite understanding and wife doesn’t work Fridays which makes it slightly easier.

Happy last day of term people 🎉

Got my Year 9’s this morning. Told them I was sick of the plugs/wires being knocked by their knees under the desks so took all the seats away and told them they were doing the lesson standing up. They were not happy logging in until I told them 😂 #AprilFoolsDay

Year 11 doing ANOTHER round of mocks in core subjects… interfering with two of my Creative iMedia coursework lessons that I’d just ran intervention sessions for to catch them up 😵‍💫

One of my favourite lessons of the year - making a cheese sandwich following year 7 flowcharts. The first one said to cut a quarter of cheese so a quarter of a block went in! Second one said to put butter on two slices of bread… 🤪 goes down well & a great way to demo flowcharts

@teacherhead We’ve just been given a copy of your OG walkthrus for our Edubook sessions, looking forward to reading!

Not one of my classes is below the national average of 22 then 🤣 #LimitlessWin

One of my Year 8 students getting topical and creative with their work on network topologies 🤣👍🏻

What a lush sight to finish a twilight CPD 😍 🦊

Happy World Teachers Day everyone - we are celebrating by welcoming Ofsted! 😖 wish us luck 🤞🏻

Didn’t end up sharing with MFL so an evening of blind taste testing branded/unbranded Jaffa cakes for Business Studies and Harry Potter sorting hats on micro:bits seemed to go down well 🤞🏻

Year 7 open evening tomorrow… given I teach computing, creative iMedia, photography, business studies and share my room with a french teacher I can’t wait to see the circus that will be my classroom tomorrow

@ScottPughsley Especially when it’s a ‘lovely group’ you normally only see once a week and get to see them twice in one day 👀

Is anybody else’s downloads folder littered with files named all-19484839? 🤔😂

Have any computing/ICT teachers on here been asked to do #thebigask with their students? Naturally I’m the only opportunity they all have mass access to computers but the poor servers being used by #thebigask is making a quick task very drawn out and frustrating! @Rachel_deSouza

Y7 students doing flowcharts for a game they’re going to create. One student used a decision “would you like to watch an advert for an extra life?” ... while I applauded the use of the decision, children have been conditioned to expect ads and in game purchases 😫

@pddring I don’t envy you. We only offer iMedia at KS4 here so at least I’ve only got that lot to look through!

@MrC_CompSci I know what you mean. I've got well over 1,000 pages of grading exemplification documents to wade through for A Level CS, GCSE CS and iMedia. We can do this!

My mind is absolutely bending trying to figure out what I actually need for my iMedia classes to get them a fair grade. The guidance from OCR is so heavy 🤯

@BraaiKing_Bad @chrisdysonHT Just hearing the noise in the yard and seeing classrooms full how they should be
