@Trudgeteacher I’ve always said you should have the penalties before the match so that one of the teams has to attack.

[David Bedford @DavidB52s]

@galoisgirl Glad to see people are finally confronting this issue. There has been far too much undue criticism of the behaviour of whales in recent years :)

[David Bedford @DavidB52s]

@DrBennison @galoisgirl I was tutoring a very good FM student on this and showed him the method that I expect we both prefer. He said that his teacher had shown him a much better method. I asked him what it was and he said he couldn’t remember it but it was a very good method :)

@Masterofwhine Did you just replace the cork or use something like a vacuum pump? :)

@wtgowers @CmonMattTHINK There is a similar move towards teachers asking "What questions do you have?" instead of "Do you have any questions?". I've heard several say that this change has been surprisingly effective.
