@MeetTheNeeds As an exams officer who has to pick up the pieces when students are told this it make me mad. Year 10 mocks are a practice run for them to learn about exams, what it will be like and what to expect. It is not a time to frighten children to death so they fail๐ก
@thosethatcan Iโm an EO and this year has been so hard. I feel for the students who worked hard and didnโt get the grade they deserved and the teaching and support staff who work so hard to support them to be judged as not performing. Nothing seems to make sense except how broken the system is
@pdcornish76 Thanks Paul, just a supportive smiley face with no demands would be great ๐ in rational reality there is nothing I can do more than I have and it is in the boards hands not mine. The negative mind is very powerful at making you doubt yourself sometimes.
So this week is the first of my 2 weeks of exam results and the anxiety of going into work is off the scale. The dread of what could happen and any fallout is real and I know itโs my brain catastrophising what will prob be the complete opposite but I feel awful๐ข
@1974JCS Thanks - I have been out pottering about with AJ today so kept my mind off it. I have a list to do now we are back and it has โsomething mindfulโ on it. Love you back xx
