@mrchadburn @japleen_kaur1 Just used this question when helping a student, good isn't it.

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

@tombennett71 @Kris_Boulton Agreed, excactly that happened in a school I taught in. Students didn't even go to the restoritative meeting at the end of the day! Behaviour spiralled having taken an age to improve from when it been poor.

@timstirrup I remember it well, had it up in my room for years and used it on the first lesson with any new group I tought.

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

If what you want to buy says 'made in the USA' buy something else. Getting totally sick of Trump's bullying tactics.

@NewbieSlt With 75 in the year group I look forward to the entertainment each dept will use to get their 70, especially as 6 are taught off site.

@BBCMorningLive It is not only Hyundia cars that suffer from info screens going blank. Kia also has the same issue. My 2.5yr old Sportage which I bought 3 months ago is in today for this issue. Hoping it is covered by the warranty.

@NewbieSlt Brilliant, I will use the perfect PE teacher as my role model. You all know the one, the guy from the film Kes. Whay an outstanding role model for all PE staff. Better than kids asking when will they ever need to use algebra.

@DeeVijayan @mrsknoxmaths @wright_maths @Just_Maths @mathsjem 4? typo!

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

@DeeVijayan @mrsknoxmaths @wright_maths @Just_Maths @mathsjem Yes, why send all 4 papers for a review when one might lose marks and another get what is needed. Also saves money when no errors are found. If parents say they'll pay, I still tell them to let me check first.

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

@themathsbazaar @DeeVijayan @mrsknoxmaths @wright_maths @Just_Maths @mathsjem it is often questons where part marks are gained where others are picked up btw

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

@Educhatter @JoanneLeeJacobs @HKorbey Maths teaching in the UK has had similar diacussions but in my opinon moving towards research backed methods. It would do no harm to look at the books written by @BartonMaths where he describes the research and teaching methods he uses based on them.

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

@NewbieSlt Aren't they called the PE department?

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

@DeborahMeaden Two steps away from being an dictator. Next he'll be having a military parade on his birthday. Oh, wait, both are tomorrow. He wanted one in his last presidency but staff persuaded him against it because of the cost. Not now, he only likes 'yes' from his servants, sorry staff.

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

@Mathematical_A Brilliant news

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

@NewbieSlt Great to see 9Z are on early work experience in the recycling industry.

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

@EffingPoppins @hpb37 @implausibleblog To misquote a film line 'Show me the numbers', and the original data sources they come.

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

@DeborahMeaden It beggars belief what comes out of Trump's mouth at times. I don't agree with criminal damage by people demonstrating against Musk, but to think that is more serious than trying to overturn an election by rioting is something else.

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

@TristanSnell If true this is appauling. Well done to the Ukrainians for rejecting the idea. The more I see and hear the more it looks like Trump is an agent of Russia.

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

@politicsusa46 Wonderful speech. Inspiring, even for someone from the UK. I hope people from all countries attacked by tarrifs buy fewer US products and as many companies find other sources for any products they currently get from the US where they can. If Trump wants isolation, give it them.

[David Gibson @dmg_13]

So vice idiot Vance (sorry Vice President) complains that Zelensky campainged on behalf of the Democrats, but didn't he have lunch with the leader of the AFP party not long before the German elections. Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?
