#bbccricket #testmatchspecial In the modern age with high accuracy weather forecasts, when we KNOW that rain will curtail a test match, why don’t we play on while the light is good on the days with no rain? Tearing my hair out!

@lehain @CalebWestSussex Definitely!

Can someone from #edutwitter point me back to the thread which lists all of the things that newspapers, magazines and commentators have said should be part of a school’s curriculum?

@CalebWestSussex That’s the one! Thank you.

@jptconsult twitter.com/lehain/status/… - is this the one?

@NetCats200 Go Ronnie!

🏐 Most Talented All-Rounder🏐 🥁🥁 Ronnie.T

@SteveTMusic Back to form after “Ruby Tew”😉

I mean, she must have had some idea....??

@ManorHseHead Thanks

@jptconsult No they’re not going ahead.

Can anyone tell me if Cambridge IGCSEs are still going ahead in the U.K.?

Ofqual and the DfE have done months of planning for the all too likely scenario of a mid-year exams cancellation, haven’t they? Haven’t they?

@MrsAngelaReed The Chris Rea tweet!! Christmas can truly begin!

Woah Chris, it’s not the 23rd!

@reading_woman Spot on, I reckon!

@NetCats200 Woohoo! Brilliant. Congratulations, Ronnie.

There she is and what an exciting season ahead! 😻 Beyond proud of our Ronnie 💛🖤

@rihbd @piersmorgan Garner, yes. Hadlee an unbelievable bowler but would he count as “fast” rather than “fast/medium”? And before you say anything, I know you have faced him and I most certainly haven’t!

@piersmorgan Don't understand how Hadlee and Garner are not in this list. Some great names though. Marshall was unbelievable.

Yes, it wasn't my list of the best fast bowlers, just the nastiest. My BEST top ten would be: 1) Malcolm Marshall 2) Dennis Lillee 3) Harold Larwood 4) Curtly Ambrose 5) Wasim Akram 6) Dale Steyn 7) Andy Roberts 8) Michael Holding 9) Fred Trueman 10) Glenn McGrath

@LatymerHead Indeed. Would be interested to know which of the previous problems with mock exams no longer apply? Unless...they are insisting on same paper, same day, under exam conditions...in which case they are bringing forward exams, not pushing them back.

@hendopolis Goodness me! This could only come close to working if we’re through the Covid pandemic quickly. If not, next year’s confusion could be even worse than this year.

TELEGRAPH FRONT: A levels to be delayed next summer #TomorrowsPapersToday

@Miss_Snuffy I’m stunned by this decision. I too have taken so much from KIPP and on a visit to New York found it to be perhaps the most impressive school I have ever been in. That doubles my sadness. I’ll die on the hill with you.

Michaela copied KIPP with our slogan ‘Work Hard, Be Kind’. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL. Working hard and being kind is NOT racist! We have all lost our minds. 🤪🤪

BREAKING: Government #Uturn means both A levels and GCSEs will be awarded based on teacher-assessed grades. Students will receive whichever is higher: CAGs or moderated grades. #alevels2020 #GCSE2020

BREAKING: Gavin Williamson to perform a full U-turn and award teachers' predicted grades for both A-levels and GCSEs. This will be announced at 4pm #alevels2020 #alevels #gcses2020 #gcseresults #exams

@RosieDBennett @GavinWilliamson This

This actually gives @GavinWilliamson cover to U turn -- I didn't want to U-turn but can't have English children disadvantaged n future, esp the poorest etc etc
