@lynneevans51 @Suchmo83 It’s a very understandable concern! If it’s of any reassurance at all then I believe exam boards apply what’s called ‘comparable outcomes’ year on year. Please feel free to DM me if you’d like to!
@lynneevans51 @Suchmo83 However, I am an English teacher, so those lessons do need more interaction, as opposed to explaining content and concepts then sending learners off to try some questions themselves. It might be entirely different for maths or science, of course.
@lynneevans51 @Suchmo83 I think that’s a really good question. As a secondary teacher myself, I just had a think about how that would look and realised that I’m mostly facilitating rather than lecturing (in the nicest possible way). A normal lesson is kind of like tennis really and needs interaction.
@sam_m_fowler@MissB0107 @JulieHa89762210 @kateowbridge But imagine how someone would feel, for example, if they’ve sadly not been able to have children. If they already feel loneliness and rejection. To be seen as more expendable than others exacerbates this. There are a lot of moral and ethical concerns here.
@Pat_conolly Thank you for asking! Getting ready to go back to school tomorrow. Christmas break has been lovely but I have lots of teenagers waiting for me who need to pass their GCSE English. We can do this, kids! 👏🏻💪🏻
@rstannardteach Give them a ring. I’m was with Admiral for a year, got a higher renewal exactly like you, went on a price comparison website to see what else I could get, phoned Admiral and they matched it saving me filling in the forms and changing direct debits etc.
@Rawaya_Ben@emc7190@Team_English1 The Christmas Truce by Carol Ann Duffy is lovely! It may be a tad long for exam practice though. There’s lovely stuff on The Literacy Shed to go with it too.
