@SamStrickers181 @BarryNSmith79 Exactly is soooo frustrating

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@adamboxer1 @C_Hendrick Looking at their website and how they compare themselves to other elite private schools looks like maths, reading, writing and science are their core subjects that they spend the 2 hours on a day.

@ShakinthatChalk @miss_mcinerney @MoreMorrow I have both. Does not fix the heat in my room. Hard work for both me and the kids. I move to science labs when they are free as they have air con.

@ICT_MrP Me 😫

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@adamboxer1 @amymayforrester We don’t finish till next Thursday. 😭

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@DavidDidau That’s interesting as when I was last observed the person watching said they struggled to find something to improve (I had lots of suggestions) and that they had made notes mainly for their own teaching.

@ShakinthatChalk Favourite book

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@ShakinthatChalk Or they could just take in their favourite and talk to the other students about why they like it….

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@ShakinthatChalk I think they should do it for Chen and bio too. There are a few equations needed for bio and chem they don’t get given them and never have.

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@sciantificnew I think they should remove the requirement for the equations in biology and chemistry too.

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@adamboxer1 Do you think it applies to all sciences or just physics as for Biology there are a few equations they need to memorise still as they don’t get a formula sheet.

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@dperkinsed @SciInTheMaking Can you give an example?

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@MrBoothY6 Is there something I have missed that has this info for other subjects?

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@musicteachinguk @adamboxer1 @Mr_Raichura It’s not just your school. My classroom is on the same corridor as the KS4 office. Every lesson there are kids outside and not in lessons. I have one class and every lesson someone is truanting. (They do this across many lessons). My yr 12s found focus tricky as chaos outside.

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@jallcock01 @helzdonnelly We do the same as above similar numbers. Again extra set in year 11 as well. Specialists from year ten. Mixed comp in a grammar school area so all the top kids go to the grammars.

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@joel120193 Yes we do. I was very amused when one was brought into a cover lesson where the kids had cover work and I just supervised them doing it. In any case the child at home did not even switch the robot on…..never had one in a lesson for one of my own classes.

@NotFor_turning @cerysturner7 Those holiday weeks are counted as weeks in your maternity pay and you cannot add on holidays to your maternity like other occupations can to extend it with pay. So you don’t get those weeks paid. So not sure how having that makes maternity pay better.

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@ShakinthatChalk @tchngtprmryschl @rpondiscio @rastokke Really my kids swimming lessons has all the above in abundance.

[Cazaline @Cazalineuk]

@MmeLockhartLDS @tombennett71 I totally agree and hopefully if the UK government remove some of the content to be taught this would give us the time to fit in all the above. At the moment it is impossible to do all that for every topic and cover the specification.
