"non-uniform days". One of the things I've found hardest to get used to here in the midlands is that no one calls them mufti days.

Keith Andrews is the only choice! (Other than the other 5 options) www.premierleague.com/en/news/4656...

This is why the majority of my book reviews are 5*. I'm not going to read book if I'm not enjoying/going to enjoy it 😂

How do you stop seeing someone's retweets on here? Since blocking their hashtag doesn't work?

This mix isn't perfect, and we're now seeing its drawbacks and trade-offs, but it is a lot better than what we see in the US, Wales, Scotland and elsewhere. The progress has been hard won and might be easily lost.

It also underlines exactly what has gone right in England: - exams and accountability coupled with a knowledge-rich curriculum - proliferation of understanding of evidence - grassroots teacher movement to embrace what works - Ofsted, for all its faults, is better than no Ofsted

Two nights in a row now of the youngest sleeping through the night!! After 8 years of parenting, sleep is finally here! 🙏

Ooh err Matron!

Wait, but coursework is the great saviour of young people from the unbearable pressure and stress of the evil exam system, isn't it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Felicitations to all who celebrate. It almost passed me by completely! I swear it comes round faster every year...

Had my appointment as an "Assessment Associate" for Pearson confirmed this morning :) entering the world of exam marking!

How soon are the #MathsConf40 slides likely to be sent out? What's a usual timeframe? @lasalleed.bsky.social

Just slipped at the bottom of the stairs. Ripped the banister out of the wall. Dang.

Come on West Ham. Keep Spurs in relegation and Everton below Brentford. You can do it! #WHUEVE

I hate that whenever I go out in the evening to somewhere social, I'm then too wired to go to bed when I get home. Stupid extrovertism... well, some kind of tism that's for sure lol

If I was the Greens I’d be worried that people who have demanding we refuse requests for help from countries invaded by fascists intent on genocide as a red line see them as an attractive prospect

XKCD comic about board games? Unexpected reference to the cones of dunshire!? Too good 😂😂😂

Revision season in full swing so I'm going to be using something I've knocked up called E2E (Example to Exam) Revision Sheets. 👀Worked example done on visualiser ⏩2-3 Instant practice (EPP) 🏆Finish on an Exam Q

Highlights from my workshop today: These were the questions that the participants found interesting from papers abroad. What do you think? #MathsConf40

Completely stumped by this "puzzle" I won on the AQA wheel today at #MathsConf40 ... what am I supposed to do!? 😂

We were told to upload photos from the day... best I can do is some photos with @drfrostmaths.bsky.social 😂 #MathsConf40

It's been a brilliant day. Too engrossed in everything to post haha :) Time for closing remarks! #MathsConf40

Lots of fun in session 1 with @mrmetacognition.bsky.social on language. Disappointed my brief foray into Duolingo Welsh didn't help me with many of the words in a Welsh question we were given :D I almost wore my Welsh rugby shirt today as well... #MathsConf40

My freebies haul is pretty good so far ;D #MathsConf40

Finished Severance. This is super niche but... it just feels like it's a prequel to Joss Whedon's Dollhouse? Dichen Lachman being in both sure doesn't help 😂

Maths Teachers — If you could add a feature/resource type/section onto Mathsbox that would save you time or improve your lessons, what would it be? 👇 Would love to hear your ideas.

One of my pet peeves is when someone refers to the Easter holidays as half term. It reeeaaaalllllyyy bugs me lol. When a teacher does it!? Oh man.

I think I may have been sunburnt in the garden this afternoon 😲

New broadband day! 🥳 4x the speed for like half the price! Virgin Media take customers for granted, refused to offer any deal that wasn't a price rise on our renewal. Vodafone offered faster for less 🤷

Just had my first ever Pop Tart. I don't understand what I've just put in my body

Car packed up yesterday with no garages open till Tuesday. Managed to get lifts to church, then a friend lent us her car to get home. First time driving an automatic. So weird. Took me a while to get used to it!

It's time for my favourite gif of the year again 😁 Happy Easter everyone! #HeIsRisen

Someone on a local Facebook group asking for Chiropractor recommendations. I have resisted giving my rec of staying away from such snake oil salesmen. Perhaps they'd prefer homeopathy or acupuncture?

LOL this is like when the NEU voted to abolish Ofsted. It’s not their decision, they don’t get a say, the vote isn’t binding, it’s just to make them feel better about their pathetic lack of influence.

Talking about the possible Mr Benn film with Mrs Toast and she quite rightly pointed out that the shop keeper should be played by Bob Mortimer. "Have you considered fighting a dragon Sir? What about zero gravity?" 90s Vic would have been a superb Mr Benn too.

The horror, the horrrooooorrrrrrr 😱😱😱

Parents moved up here to the midlands this week. They found a year group photo from when I was in year 11. Dad asked how many of that photo I'm still in touch with. Zero. Literally zero.

come and join us in the East Midlands! #mathsconf40

All excited for children to sleep in till 7 rather than 6 for a few days with the clock change... 2 year old decides he's now nocturnal, wide awake all night 😫

Ooh, I like this for completing the square
