@etotheipie @pockychinchilla @NoContextBrits Not my point. I'm responding to the general point that humidity in England on really hot days is often in the 80%s. I work in the most highly populated area of the country, and 28°C can be hell there. Maybe not in the next ten days, but it happens every summer at the moment

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

@etotheipie @pockychinchilla @NoContextBrits ?? It's not hot in London right now and won't be in the next ten days. I have spent multiple hot days in London where the humidity throughout the day was in the high 80s

@neutrino78x @_theChief_ @GrandZeroGaming @NoContextBrits No, we don't tend to take months long vacations. People are struggling to afford trips abroad at the moment, as well, by the way.

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

@etotheipie @pockychinchilla @NoContextBrits Thanks for explaining our country to us, American. London absolutely gets humidity in the 70s-90s during the day on hot days

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

@neutrino78x @Zephoslol @GrandZeroGaming @NoContextBrits "Only like 400" to buy, plus how much for the electricity to run it...? Simply isn't feasible for many many households in the UK. It's not worth spending for two weeks a year

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

@neutrino78x @ClassiestBuu2 @YakubianKing @TheRoonMeister @George_swfc @YourElfx @NoContextBrits Because it's not 80% of the year, it's like 96% of the year. We have these heatwaves maybe 2 weeks of the year. It's deeply unpleasant, but for most not worth investing in AC over

@leahward146 @ArsenalWFC Finsbury Park and Highbury & Islington also within an easy walk if they're easier for you to get to x

@WRoberts3 @MaxTheMaths Such "given that" statements are possibly slightly too high-level for many Year 6 pupils

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

@RnR144 @MrATeacher1 @chrisjohnson00 @RogersHistory Sorry, just for clarity, I don't mean dropped out of the programme, but left teaching some time after finishing the programme

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

@RnR144 @MrATeacher1 @chrisjohnson00 @RogersHistory Not trying to defend all of Teach First's system, but the message definitely isn't to be recruited in order to only be in post 2 years. Most people I know from my cohort still teach and those who don't dropped out due to workload stress, not for the better salary!

@merrillteaches I became an Education Mental Health Practitioner 😊

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

@Kaels1808 @tombennett71 Can only speak for myself, but in Germany, in Years 11 and 12 I would have sat around 26 exams a year, plus probably up to 20 (lower stakes) tests plus twice yearly awarded participation grades for each of my 10 subjects. Each year! Plus the odd piece of graded homework

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

@teacherbear26 Good luck!! I left teaching this summer but still work in schools and it's been the best decision ever 🥰

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

I left teaching and am still undecided on whether or not to keep this account. I want to, because I'm still working in education. Either way, I'll need a new handle!

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

@mattysino @Sparrow_N9ne @Popher Matthew, that is literally the point. Of Bayesian statistics.

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

@mattysino @Sparrow_N9ne @Popher You're missing the entire point of Bayesian statistics. Re your issue with the word 'probable', the example literally states a probability of 1 compared to 1/3. Acceptable imo to call it 'probable' that a cookie is no candy with this info!

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

@mattysino @Sparrow_N9ne @Popher Buddy, I think you might be in need of a re-read!

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

Sooo... Michelle Donelan's voting record is appalling 🙃

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

@FroglandMark @Adam81275349 @thetimes This is literally not true Mark. Please at least do some basic research before forming an opinion.

[Alex 🌸 @TeaAndTeaching]

Honestly the #psychology job field is so exhausting. Tired of vacancies for things like APs closing within 24 hours. Makes it so hard for people who can't drop everything for a day to write a stellar personal statement, or anyone with a disability! #assistantpsych
