Right on schedule - the Tory printed mouthpiece blames someone else rather than the Government....

Before I read the article - I assumed she mostly had an issue with glamourising tobacco (which I can agree with)

The shambles unfolding this morning is going to be ten-fold come next Thursday.

I don’t know why you continue to say this when it’s so full of falsehoods and nonsense. 1. Uncontrolled immigration is a failure of the present government, who last time I’d checked have been in power for 10 years. You could argue that towards the end of the last Labour government it started to...

Mowbray and Slade. Mowbray for setting up with an absolutely atrocious team (even worse when you compare it to the one at the beginning of the previous season) and Slade for being so bad that made Andy Thorn look Guardiola-esque

Double points if you say that the Nazis were socialists

Do you get this angry about Vegan burgers and bags for life?

Would you take 1 out of 2?

A combination of continual well moderated teacher assessment and examinations could be a good compromise. I also feel that we should value and reward hard work and endeavour that is irrespective of academic ability. I’ve seen so many kids that work incredibly hard to achieve a Grade 1 or 2...

It will mean that every kid will now know exactly what their teacher predicted. Will create another can of worms - much smaller than this one of course.

Has there been anything published in the Ofqual consultation that says they will make adjustments to next years examinations in regards to practical content? If it can’t be done because of the new systems that the school are putting in place then something has to give. For example could you have...

Longleat was a really good day out. The drive through part is excellent, and their is a river cruise to see hippo, sea lions and chimpanzees - well worth the hour queue to get on the boat. They’ve been sensible with what’s open too, so the indoor exhibits and shut and everything is well spaced out.

Have they given you any direction on if you can or need to modify the practical aspect of your subject? (Science is it?)

Are you allowed to share on here?

In this unique circumstances - they could have reallocated both OFSTED/HMI and senior officials within Ofqual and the exam boards to scrutinise an individual centres submission and then awarded CAG when they were happy with that final submission.

This is what they were suggesting they would do in England when we went through the process of allocating grades. The trouble is that some schools will have done their own moderation to account for things like their predictions being massively inflated from historical performance, or out of sync...

The thing is a lot of the markers are often practising teachers that will have gone through the CAG process in school just weeks before. A prefect time to utilise that expertise to ratify the submitted data.

That’s exactly what will happen. The moderation applied clearly wasn’t fit for purpose, and I’m pretty certain that Ofqual would have done pretty much the same thing. Carnage awaits.

So it’s not impossible to come out and apologise when you make a mistake.

Hope you are OK and have managed to avoid it.
