How is it okay to offer a ‘take home’ pay of £3.85 per exam script for Lit Paper? Thoughts anyone?

[TeachEnglish19 @Seemy1986]

@ENorman_ Snap. I feel the same. Standards are pretty low this time round.

[TeachEnglish19 @Seemy1986]

Anybody marking AQA Lit papers this year? I’ve had a rather bizarre experience this year and had to withdraw. An incredible disparity in marking. It appears standards are pretty low in awarding a higher level this year!

[TeachEnglish19 @Seemy1986]

@hb_history @Gwenelope I’ve withdrawn having marked a quarter of the quota this year. Although it’s for AQA, the standards this year are questionable. The inconsistency in what is appropriate awarding of the levels since I started marking three years ago is just not right.

@ClarionHousing I have an ongoing leak in my flat - this has been going on since October 2024. I have damages to my sofa and now damp areas on my walls. Repeatedly chasing Clarion to resolve this with failed repairs, escalated to CEO office and no response.

Do you have a whole faculty literacy strategy that you follow across KS-KS5? Please can you share? @Team_English1 @TTREnglish

@MissCJWilliams Jzk. Is it a timetabled lesson? Or do they deliver it during form time?

I have an avid reader on my husband's side. A 19 y/o that loves crime fiction, especially by Lee Child. Any other recommendations?

Anybody else having issues with emarker 2 for AQA? Only managed to mark 43% of my allocations.

Day 1 - a tough day with difficult parents challenging internal exclusion. Day 2 - sick. Day 3- back in to my students arranging my shoes for me neatly under my desk, decorating my desk with their cherished pokemon cards and lots of thank you/get well notes. Teaching is...❤️

Hello English Teachers/Examiners. When you see 'subject terminology', what do you think of? Specialist terms or keywords that are not part of our colloquial language, or both? Thanking you!

That moment when you advise your Y11s if ever facing a writer's block when answering Q5 LP2, start with a rhetorical question...here's me grinning 32 x when I open up the papers!
